Basic tools to make teddy bears

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.
