Teddy Bear from Recycled Sweater

I was furthering my time wasting skills today with my unexpected day off (because of flash flooding in the area). I'm looking for projects to make that use recycled materials.  Some of the projects were just dumb (newspaper sandels?! Who are they for, homeless people)?!

I did find a cute idea to make a teddy bear out of a recycled sweater. I'm thinking velour or chennille would be good. Too bad I don't sew!
