If you do not have some of the necessary tools on the spot, here are a few tricks.
- Instead of a stuffing tool, you can use chopsticks.
- If you don't have position eyes, round end pins will do the trick!
- To insert the eyes, replace the traditional insertion tool with snap pliers.
- No special fabric pencil? Use a piece of chalk that you sharpen with a pencil sharpener.
