Because customizing your own bear is fun\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I saw this idea on TikTok and thought it would be a good challenge to see if I could do this for under $10. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basically, go to the thrift store and up-cycle it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s Get Into It: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finding bears at the thrift store<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Think of it like adopting a new bear friend, the thrift stores have so many teddy bears! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sooo many!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Squishmallows to original Build-A-Bear Workshop animals, there are so many to choose from!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why custom-make a bear from the thrift?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s often cheaper and a good way to create a unique bear that cannot be easily sourced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can even personalize it with old jewelry, clothing, and accessories! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finding the bear <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I typically find original Build-A-Bear Workshop animals at Value World<\/a> in Michigan. It\u2019s a local resale shop that sells clothing, toys, home decorations, and accessories!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In their toy session, they have a variety of bears to choose from, whether it\u2019s an original Build-A-Bear Workshop anima or a bear that can fit baby clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Okay, I know\u2026 what are you thinking?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What about the babies?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I promise you it\u2019s okay to be mindful of your choices and seek clothing that is not overly expensive or in the best shape and save the \u201cgood\u201d clothing for the babies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much was the bear?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

$1.91<\/p>\n\n\n\n
