Trim off an inch or so from one side of the paper bowl. |

Punch a hole on each corner close to the trimmed edge of the bowl. |

Glue the bowl at the back of the teddy bear head, with the bowl's opening facing up. |

Make a pipe cleaner handle. Fasten the pipe cleaner ends around the pair of opposite holes on the bowl. |
