Easter Squishmallows in Stuffed Animals & Plush Toys(319)

How can I replace the stuffing on a ripped plushy?

To replace the filling so it won't make a mess if it rips again, cut a piece from an old stocking and add the stuffing to it. Place it inside and sew the rip. The filling is pliable inside the stocking, so you can reshape the plush toy if needed.

How can I remove an odor from a plush toy?

Place the plush toy in a plastic bag with one cup of baking soda. Secure the bag and shake it for about 30 seconds. Place the bag outside in the sun or a sunny window for 20 minutes. Remove the plush toy from the bag and gently vacuum until the baking soda is removed.

Is it okay to cut a thread that's hanging from a stuffed toy?

Cutting the thread could cause a hole in the fabric. If the thread is long enough, use a sewing needle and run the string inside the toy and come out the other side. You can cut the string at that point. If you don't have a needle, use a pin or other fine object to push the thread inside.
