Introduction
Over time, a teddy bear’s nose can become worn down. It may fall out or even be chewed off by pets. This guide explains how to replace a teddy bear’s nose when it is damaged or missing. To complete this fix, you have to know how to hand-sew a whip stitch (How to Sew a Whip Stitch).
What you need
-
-
-
Flip the fabric of the snout inside out to expose the back of the plastic nose.
-
-
-
Remove the plastic backing of the teddy bear's nose (if it's still there). You may have to use pliers.
-
-
-
-
Push the front of the new nose through the existing hole in the teddy bear’s face.
-
-
-
Thread the needle with about 18 inches of thread the same color as the bear's fur or stitches.
-
-
-
Sew the teddy bear’s face using a whip stitch until the opening is completely closed.
-
-
-
Once the face is completely sewn shut, knot the end of the thread, and cut off the excess.
