Inspired by Jazza, I attempt to upcycle a triptych of some paintings I got at the thrift store by painting in my favorite kaiju: Ghidorah, Godzilla, and Mothra! But in chibi-style! Materials used: white gesso, acrylic paint in various colors, paintbrushes, isopropyl alcohol, sharpies, pencil and paper inspired by a skirt from Fresh Hot Flavors: freshhotflavors.com/collections/skirts and a book ...

In this video I go through the steps to make a medieval-esque hood, with dagging along the cape, and a liripipe at the end. I used a black embroidered linen as the main fabric, and a bright, rainbow flower cotton as the lining.

when Edison got a big hug at the end I almost screamed 🥹 they look so happy ✨
❤
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.

It looks much more *authentically historically adequate when there are imperfections and repairs. Your repair is really, really good btw.😊
Well said! Thank you. ♥️
Oh my gosh!! Thats so cute and cool!! Sorry that several aspects were a pain, but it came out so good!
Thank you! 😊
Those fabrics are soooooo cute!!!!
I found a beanie baby unicorn at a goodwill but it came with a hole in it! It was not dirty though! It was weird because usually you don't find only one of those problems! Its been sewed and I named it cotton 😊😊😊 this was about almost more than one year ago
I thought I could share this to ask you if you ever found a plushie with just one single problem or have you never seen that?
Sure! Sometimes plushies just develop a hole from where the seam is weakest, or sometimes they get a small stain and just need a spot cleaning.
hello, excellently done! I also want to make this myself, but I'm a beginner. The only video with liner I found is your video. I would like to have liner too, but it's not quite clear to me what to sew together so that it can turn around in the end. I would still be able to sew it from one layer.
Thank you! So I sewed all the seams of the lining to the matching seams of the main fabric with the sides I ultimately wanted to face out on the inside. I left the back seam of the lining unsewn, then I used that open seam to flip everything rightside out once I'd snipped all the curves and nipped all the corners. Then I hand sewed the back seam up.
Loved the video but had concerns about the eyes and nose coming off since they seemed glued on. How did you keep the eyes and nose intact?
Oh, they're not glued on. The eyes and nose are sort of like plastic screws that puncture through the fabric, and then there's a small plastic 'bolt' at the back that can't be undone. So they're perfectly safe to handwash.
Thank you for this video, a whole year later! I recently acquired a really beautiful but grungy white plush cat from the 90s and have been trying my best to find good guidance on how to restore her as gently as possible, but was basically only finding tips on how to machine wash or spot-clean children's toys. This was exactly the kind of visual reference I needed :)
Wonderful! Good luck with your restoration!
I like the way u treated your plush.....i am also a plush collector and have many plushies ...i love them all and hope to preserve them forever....thanks for the tips....looking forward for more similar videos of plush animals being restored in a loving way....
To guarantee your seam is invisible, instead of going directly across when stitching, take your stitch one thread back from the direction you are stitching. In other words, if you are stitching right to left, enter the fabric one thread to the right of straight across. Tension on this seam will tend to pull the sides closer, instead of allowing the seam to open up, which will happen if your stitches enter the fabric even one thread ahead of straight across.
Very good to know!
Our Edison is called Earring. For several years, Earring has been known as our cat's "girlfriend." We even had the vet verify that the cat was fixed. I started looking at videos to find the best way to clean Earring, never expecting to see the same model of Gund bear. Earring won't look at good as Edison; he has some bald patches -- but he will be clean. Earring wasn't made in NJ, though -- he was made in China for the NJ company.
Lol poor Earring. At least she's loved?
I have a question. What if you have a small stuffed animal like a Tsum Tsum? Will you be able to take the stuffing out of them in order to clean them?
Absolutely!
@@CraftyMotato okay! Thanks!
Love ❤
I'm so scared I will ruin the fur with those wire brushes. I know it's often used and recommended, but something about it makes me uneasy. Like, will the wire pull out chunks of fur, will it rip apart the seams... I love my childhood leopard but he does need some love to get better. The stuffing is alright and bathing him shouldn't be a problem.
The thing with the wire brush is that you don't pull very hard, just enough to lightly lift the fur away from itself. You can also use a stiff-haired brush as well, if you don't want to use the wire one. I'm sure you will do your leopard proud!
This video is so informative. Edison is one happy bear! This would work well for stuffed animals from a thrift shop or eBay since you never know where its prior home was.
Absolutely!
I recently redid a teddy bear that was 54 years old. It was not so bad!
I want to do this with a lot of my old stuffed animals. but I don't want to take the stuffing out. think the washing method would still work ?'
So the problem with not taking the stuffing out is that the stuffing is very hard to get fully dry if you get it all wet. If you don't want to do a full wash including the stuffing, I'd recommend just surface cleaning your stuffed friend.
@@CraftyMotato I tried the baking soda method and that didn't seem to work. so I was thinking of cleaning them in the sink and then letting them sit and dry I pulled them out of my basement. so they all have a musty mill do smell in them. problem is I have a lot of stuffed friends that need this cleaning. some of them I want to keep. others I would like to donate and give good homes..
Thank you!! I'll be restoring my best friend Curious George 🐵🤍🤎
Edison is one handsome boy 😍
Thank you! He is very much loved
I find this video relaxing. My Teddy was my only friend i have ever had.
Very much appreciate the mini tutorial on the Henson stitch! This will help me a lot
Glad it was helpful!
This brought a smile to my face ☺
Yay! That makes *me* smile
Idk why but I already knew how to stitch and I made my own toys out of old socks.
Nice! Socks can make great plushies!
I wish there were more of these types of videos on the internet. Honestly I thought that was so adorable and sweet! 😃🤍
Aw, I appreciate that! Might have another one here in a bit
Did you find the other teddy bear? 🧸
I think it's at my dad's house somewhere 🤔
@@CraftyMotato If you find it can you make a video on it please? 🤗
You kept at it and it looks so cute! Good work~
Thank you! I appreciate it!
Riveting! I learned that lesson early on in my crafting ventures, specifically with programming. I've got nowhere near enough confidence to build a big thing and then see how it looks at the end. I have to make sure every individual piece of it is working perfect, then assemble two pieces, and make sure they still work, then assemble two more, &c.
Lol yeah, I certainly won't be making that mistake again! I'll make other, different mistakes! But that's part of life and how you learn, so I'm choosing to take it as a Learning Experience (tm).
So sorry it was so frustrating! The purse looks great.
Thank you!!
