Edison looks happy 😊
Da magic pet brush
i have the very same bear! i actually just took all of his stuffing out, too. mine lost the velvet off of his nose in the late 80's. and he's been washed and dried too many times in the washer and dryer. so it's been a big restoration process! but he's almost 40 so i figured it was time.
Thats what i will do soon. We bought a copy of my BFs childhood teddy that he had for 31 years now to give to our future child. Unfortunately this little bear smells nasty and the smell won´t go away - even after trying everything from freezing, to soda and even a soak in vanish oxi. So i hope a change in stuffing will finally make it a usable teddy again. 😅
This was a great video. I’ve been in stuffing and restoring some stuffed animals over the last few years. I started out hand washing, but I’ve learned that most can be put in the washer in a mesh bag or pillowcase on the delicate/hand wash setting. Use a small amount of free and clear detergent (between 1-3 teaspoons) and an extra rinse cycle for best results. I’ve also had success using a bit of free and clear oxyclean for stains and odors.
awwww
So cute❤
Dinker will have a new life.
It bugs me that you wear your watch while washing him.
Lol you're not the first person to point that out! But my watch is water resistant and I've gone swimming with it on before, so it's okay
i wore my watch to wash my bear last night. ha!!
THIS VIDEO IS TOO CUTE 😭😭😭
Very cool
im sorry the fucking dress transformation??? SO iconic
Thank you!
I'm so glad TH-cam showed me this! You are awesome!
Thank you so much!
so cool! love it <3
this was adorable! loved the costuming.
Thank you so much!
Very cool. Definitely an award-worthy performance.
we looked simalar as babys!! also i just whashed my stuffed animal hector the hedghog, hes been to the mental hospital with me, school, to the beach and more! he needed another bath i have washed him once before tho, hes now in the dryer and then i restuff him
Aww! I bet Hector feels so much better!
chonky bear is 🐻💖
I would sell my soul to oswald if he asked me to
Lol! He would never ask for it; he'd want you to keep it so you can enjoy reading books!
Oswald is charming!
I’m gonna do this with the mine who’s called teddy which my nanny gave to me before she passed he looks like he misses her and he needs some love
Aww! I bet you have lots of happy memories with teddy!
4:53 This specific frame of him all pancaked up made me crack up
lol! Made me laugh, too!
This is super helpful! I also use my dog's sticker brush out of desperation one day and it worked!
Awesome!
I went to TH-cam to find teddy bear restoration videos, and I instantly found you restoring my exact bear! Mine is brown, and his name is Moon Bear. Thank you 🥹
Aww, I wish Moon Bear a speedy restoration!
I fried most of my Eeyores' (yes multiple plushes) hair using a dryer. I mourned their hair every time I forgot not to use a dryer. I got to a point of resignation and just left them with afros. But then, I did the same to a hoodie. Now, I have a whole bunch to wire brush.
yeah, I had a really soft, long furred little bear whose fur sadly got all melted in the dryer. I mourn his softness.
My cuddly bears forbid for removing their filling so I can wash them properly. I'm planning to surface wash them with brush and baking soda instead.
That will probably work! I might do a new video on surface cleaning.
Trying to gather the courage to try this with my stuffed lion I had since I was young! I hope I don’t mess it up 😅
You can do it! The great thing about sewing is that unless you're cutting things off, you can always undo what you did, and try again!
I have a teddy named Fred, who is over 20 years old (Might be even older considering his origins are unknown) He has no label, as its been torn off. He was my older brother's teddy at first. Fred was one of those school bears that you could take home over the weekends. Well, he never got returned to that school- 😂 not a chance And now in the modern day, i have Fred. Alongside all my other plushies.. But i see Fred as the most important. He's the oldest, he has the most experience 😅 like an elderly man. (Btw Fred's original name was Barnaby, before he got renamed)
Aww, it sounds like you and Fred have a lot of fun memories together!
@@CraftyMotato yeah, i guess so But i guess he just sits on my drawers now
It’s hard to tell in the video, but does your pet brush have those little plastic bits on the ends on the bristles or are they bare? I have a plush bunny whose fur is rather clumped now and I would like to brush him out, but I want to make sure I find a brush that works without damaging him.
You can use either. The one with the plastic bits *is* going to be gentler on the fur, so I'd go with that kind!
when Edison got a big hug at the end I almost screamed 🥹 they look so happy ✨
Awww, thank you! He's been getting so many cuddles!!
❤
I opened my 25 yo bear and the stuffing was white too! Now, with your explanation I can repair its fur! 🐻🧡
This is such an inspiring craft!! I’m so sorry that the editing process was a hassle, your content has really helped invigorate me to wash some plushes & rethink some wicker baskets hiding away :]c
Thank you! My grandma got me a little stuffed dog when i was 4 that i named manchita (something like stain) because i thought the little patches on him were stains. Hes old now, since i am 16 and he got really skinny, lost a lot of stuffing, i am hoping to restuff him and return him to his old young looking self loll
My son had the same bear. He called him Polar Bear, after the bears on his duvet cover. He loved that bear. When my son was 14, I did the same as you, replaced the stuffing, gave him a good wash, and hung him over a railing in the sun to dry. Good as new. : ) My son was very pleased.
I want to send you all my old teddies you are amazing
Aww, thank you!
@@CraftyMotatoEdison is so cute he looked brand new I love stuffed animals 😊
I plan on using this to help fix up my webkinz husky, thank you!
love the song lol
Once the seam is ripped don't you have to worry about it coming undone because of the loose thread?
The seam should hold unless you apply a lot of bidirectional force to it. You start and stop the Henson stitch beyond where the hole is, so there's plenty of overlap to prevent that from happening.
Your Teddybear looks like Ice Bear from '' We are bare bears ''
Lol
Thank you, I have a daughter with asd and she is hyper fixated on her bear. I ordered her a new one just in case but her bear has been through it so I'm trying to make him like new so the back up works
Good luck!
Thanks to this video I was able to make one of my own! You are so underrated :)
Glad I could help!
Oh My Teddy, he is as good as new!
Hello Crafty Motato, thank you for putting this together it is super helpful and has given me the courage to finally wash my bear i have cuddled to sleep for 20 years! My only concern is the wire brush, do I risk pulling out his fur? If so, any tips for how to avoid this?
That is a possibility depending on how worn the fur is. I'd test a small bit in your fingers, pull with the same amount of force you'd use with the wire brush. If it is too fragile, you can gently comb the fibers with a soft toothbrush, though this of course will take much longer
I have a gund fuzzy tan one and this helps a lot :D
Literally cant get to the back seam bc he’s so matted😓 should I brush him first ?
Yep. Use a pet brush and start at the ends, working your way closer to the fabric
Is it really the same if you take everything that was him out?
No. It is not the same. He has significantly less mold now.
I’m planning on restoring my stuffed puppy from my childhood- who I creatively named Puppy- and I can tell his paws have pellets in them. Before I do some surgery on my favorite guy would you say that most stuffies with pellets have them in bags?
It really varies depending on age and maker. I've definitely had plushies I thought should have had bags for their pellets but did not.
Amazing job ❤️
Hello! I hope you see this despite the video being posted a year ago. I’m planning to do this for my teddy bear but I’m curious how much stuffing did you use for yours? My teddy bear is about 18-20 inches long and has a wide head and midsection. Would 24.7 ounces be enough do you think? Thank you, loved your video and Edison is a cutie! ❤
Hi! Probably? It really depends on how firm you want your stuffed friend to be. Using more fluff and packing it in tightly will make them stiffer and less squishy, as opposed to using less fluff.
