We're getting our hands messy for this one! I'd like to think it's pretty intuitive, even if you've never had any experience with sculpting. Air dry clay is the gateway drug. Once you make this you'll be thinking, "what else?" Your possibilities with air dry clay are endless! And you can do it in the comfort of your own home. No fancy tools needed.
Here's what you're gonna need to make your own Teddy Photo Frame:
Air dry clay, a photo frame (the size is up to you, really), paint brushes, paint and acrylic varnish. I opted for an iridescent varnish because I wanted mine to have a bit of a holographic sparkly shine. Also if you're impatient like me, you can use a hair dryer to speed up the drying process!
You can decide on the brands and the colours that work for you, but see the illustration below for what I used. When it comes to white paint, I recommend Titanium White. It's opaque which means it's harder to see other colours beneath it. This makes it easier to paint less layers. Unless you're opting for transparency- Then go for Zinc white.
1. Start with your photo frame and put the backing to the side for now. You might want to put it on a surface you don't mind messing up a bit. I just used a wooden chopping board (when I was done, it was easy to wash off). Now get your air dry clay and start placing small clumps of it around the frame. Because we are making a teddy bear, it doesn't have to be smooth and perfect (unless you want). The lumpiness will sort of make the teddy look plush.
2. Now add the teddy bear's head. It's sort of a semi circle shape. Actually the rest of it really is just circle shapes clumped together. So squish on the ears and snout. After that, his ear circles(?), eyes and nose. 
3. Now we wanna give our teddy bear some arms and legs- more little clay ball things smooshed together! You could stop there if you want or keep going. I added little paws and heart knee... things. Now we let our little friend. It takes about 24 hours for air dry clay to cure. If you're impatient like me, try run a hair dryer over it to cut a lotttt of time. You'll know it's ready when it turns white and feels dry.
4. Now it's time to paint! You'll wanna conceal all the clay with paint. So I start with my first layer of my main baby pinky colour. I am impatient so for every layer, I grab my trusty hair dryer to speed up the process. Then I go in with my second layer of painting the ears, eyes and snout white.
5. Next I go in painting his nose, paws and heart knee things hot pink. After that it's time to give our little friend a soul, so I paint his eyes. Pull out the hairdryer again, or leave him to rest. But make sure he's completely dry when it's time to add the acrylic varnish. Go over our teddy with a thin layer, let that dry, then add another coat if you wish. This is how we protect the clay and paint and also make our teddy look shiny and glossy! 
6. When your acrylic varnish is completely dry, turn your teddy over and put your desired photo and the backing into the frame. 
7. Anddddd you're done! Your teddy is now ready to show off your precious memory!
