Doesn’t he look absolutely gorgeous?! His colours are so bright and eye-catching! His design takes inspiration from the works of cubist artists, such as the renowned artist Piet Mondrian.

As well as the gorgeous bear pictured above, CocoBear also has many other fantastic Beanie Baby art creations in her portfolio.
Take a look at the beautiful colours on this custom cat Beanie Baby! She is based on a rare prototype cat Beanie Baby that shares this awesome colour pattern! CocoBear has done an amazing job of recreating this elusive Beanie Baby prototype!

Following on with the Halloween theme, she has customised this SCARED-e Beanie Buddy with hand-drawn pumpkins! Fans of Build-A-Bear will appreciate this nod to the popular Pumpkin Kitty!

This Strawberry Shortcake Magic is so sweet! Made using Magic the Dragon, she has gorgeous sparkling strawberries cascading down her side!
I love the contrast between the red of the strawberries and her white body, giving her a delicious “strawberries and cream” look.

How cool is this Halloween mummy custom Beanie Baby?! I love the hand-drawn bandages covering his body and the Original Nine Beanie Babies poking out through them!
The level of detail is absolutely incredible!

Gobbles has also had a fabulous makeover! She has gone from your run-of-the-mill turkey to being one glamorous bird!
Gobbles has so many details, like her gorgeous fabric wings and her sequinned tail, all finished off with a sparkly, fluffy pink trim! She even wears the cutest little shoes!

She has also created this cool purse! This piece really gives me 90’s vibes and it makes me feel a little nostalgic!

My own custom Beanie Baby from CocoBear Boutique!
I’m absolutely delighted to be able to show you my own custom Beanie Baby from CocoBear!

This little bear has travelled all the way from the USA to my home in the UK! I have been so excited for her to arrive and I’m so thrilled with how she’s turned out!
On her back are the various Beanie Baby hang tags through the years.

There are all sorts of little details that I keep finding too, like these cute hearts on her face! They are so sweet!

The front features the Beaniepedia logo and a picture of Chip! Her legs are yellow with orange leaves for my love of Autumn and there are also books for my love of reading. She even has the Lord of the Rings book cover as that is my favourite book trilogy ever!

I’m seriously in love with my custom bear! She will be displayed along with her Certificate of Authenticity, which is a lovely touch!
CocoBear was in contact throughout the whole process to make sure she got every detail right and I can safely say she has done a fantastic job! I just want to say a massive “THANK YOU!” for creating this gorgeous custom bear!
Build-A-Bear creations by CocoBear
As well as Beanie Babies, CocoBear also customises other plushies, such as Care Bears and Build-A-Bear!
I absolutely ADORE her custom Build-A-Bear Pumpkin Kitties! They are quite possibly the sweetest plushies I’ve seen this year! Don’t get me wrong, I love the original Pumpkin Kitty, but I think I may even prefer the colour combinations on these custom kitties!

I am seriously in love with her Starry Night Pumpkin Kitty!
The gorgeous blue of her fur makes her eyes look really soulful. She carries a shiny star and her fur is finished off with golden highlights.
I can’t even imagine how much work must have gone into creating this beautiful design!

She has also done incredible work on gargoyle Build-A-Bears.
Check out her punk-rock gargoyle pictured below! He is named “Grimgourd” and he seriously has the fluffiest feet and fantastic hair!

CocoBear has also created another gorgeous green gargoyle called Tonus “Zen” Verdechi. Isn’t he just the sweetest?!
He has mossy greenery on his face, green fluffy feet and a clover patch on his left leg. Care Bear fans may recognise the patch.

Fans of Stranger Things (myself included – roll on Season 5!) will absolutely LOVE her custom Mothman/Demogorgon Build-A-Bear!
Isn’t he just the cutest?! He even wears a string of lights with corresponding letters – a nod to the Christmas lights the character Joyce used to contact her son Will when he was stuck in the Upside Down.

I also HAVE to show you all my own custom Care Bear from CocoBear! She is so beautiful! Of course, I have named her “Ariel”!
She features the Disney character, Ariel, from The Little Mermaid and is finished off with an adorable pink bow, a bracelet and earrings.

Other creations by CocoBear
As well as plushies, CocoBear also creates other customised pieces.
As both a huge fan of Friends and a collector of plushies, I am so tempted by her Friends/Build-A-Bear hooded sweater! It’s seriously so cute!
