TEDDY RESCUE, BATH & SURGERY
25 Nov. 2023
I found this little cute teddy bear abandoned in free waste room in recycling center, completely dirty and broken in several places. Of course I rescued this cutie and took home with me Plush animals, especially teddies and bunnies trigger my deep empathy and sensitivity and I can't just pass by...
Process of restoration:
- assess what cleaning method is correct for each bear or soft toy
- remove the filling
- clean - in this case of a modern bear I could just give him a good bath with gentle soap and foam
- air drying
- add filling (here I added extra poly filling for fullness)
- fix all tears and holes
- brush / groom
- add or other accessories
Maybe you have a teddy of your own who could use a refresher?
