Have you ever acquired plenty of pet plush toys that are full of memories? Memories which are really from a much loved pet which you want to keep for a long period? Once, while I was watching the very first episode of the TV series Vampire Diaries, a line got my interest. To make it more clear it goes something like this; "Memories are important". Seems simple doesn't it? Though the significance is anything but simple.
One sure thing which is going to happen with pet plush toys is they will be torn by your pet. And because of my love for my pet, I keep the toys that offered my pet some joy, as well as gave a lot of stress to my pet. By the way, I've got a pet dog.
So for every one of you that treasure the memories of your beloved pet, here are some suggestions on the way to conserve the plush toys they frequently spend playtime with.
To begin with, let's discuss the regular kind of injury a dearly loved it might have. This is the simplest repair you can do even if you are not a seamstress. For ripped seams, a thick or strong needle is desirable for big pet plush toys and a thinner needle for smaller ones.
It's best to stitch the seams back together by using a clear polyester thread which has a knot in the end. Very carefully push the threaded needle all the way through the inside of the rip to ensure that your knot won't show up on the outside. Very carefully stick to these specific directions, pull the needle through one side of the tear and back all the way through the other side; pull on your needle so that the two sides come together. Carry on this until the hole is closed and tie off the residual thread as close to the plush animal as it can be. Be aware, that when the plush toy is the furry type, comb through the fur to help hide the stitches. Also ensure that you push any overflowing stuffing back into the toy simultaneously as sewing.
I want to get back to the furry plush toys. Make sure you comb the matted or clumpy fur using a wire brush. Do it with a gentle motion. You may also put it the dryer on low setting for 4 to 5 minutes to re-fluff.
On a second note, one more condition which a plush toy can be, after going into war with your pet, is the loss of stuffing. Try to find the material just like the original content of it. Replace or add new stuffing to it, it's also possible to restore the chubbiness when the stuffing goes flat or clumps up. And here are the guidelines: untie a side seam and add polyester fill, fluff or any filling material then carefully stitch it back up once again.
The skill of replacing stuffing may also be carried out to remove the toxic materials of it. On the grounds that many old stuffed animals could be filled up with toxic foam or plastics.
And finally, another thing that cannot be avoided is if a large patch of plush is taken away out of your pet's memorable plush toy. If you can't get the original material used for the plush toy's body, search for the nearest looking fabric to fix the patch. Please remember this inside your heart, pet plush toys are a time machine which will bring back those happy memories that you have cherished.
