Glad you asked...
If you need a bear costume, try making one. You can easily make one yourself. To do so you will need a solid color sweat suit, acrylic paint, a paintbrush, felt, craft foam, scissors, a hot glue gun, a headband, faux fur and a safety pin. See this site for complete directions for making a bear costume. http://www.ehow.com/how_5402023_make-bea...
Then again, this answer might help you...
To begin making your bear costume purchase a simple hoodie and a pair of sweat pants to match what color you want to make your bear costume in one solid color. Cut out a set of ears with matching fabric and place a smaller version of the ear inside and glue it there with fabric glue. Paint a contrasting belly on the front of your sweat shirt. Cut out a small rectangle from some faux fur and attach the tail by using a safety pin to the seat of the sweatpants. To finish your costume paint your face to look like a bear and viola you have a bear costume.
