I took 'em apart and saved the metal part. I've made Lucy some really cute bows with different ribbons that are very "poufy" and I sewed them in place.
I also saved the teddy bears. I used a hot sewing needle to make a hole in the middle of the bear and I'm going to sew them to some bows using a tiny seed pearl to hold the bear in place.
I also think I will take some of Lucy and Rebel's plain T shirts and sew the bears on them using glass beads to hold the bears in place.
I refuse to completely lose my money
