Teddy Blog

Let’s talk about stuffing for your teddy bear. There are various types of stuffing available. When I made Brittny’s bear, I chose fiberfill because it would be better for her to have a bear she can squish when she hugs him. A large bag was just about enough for her teddy bear. I try to have this stuffing on hold because I can use it for so many different things when I do any sort of craft that requires a bit of stuffing.

Kapok, a stuffing that is somewhat like fiberfill, tends to have fuzzy little fibers that will float around you when you use it. Fiberfill is the best since it isn’t lumpy, doesn’t have a funny smell, won’t attract any bugs or mice, and is non-allergenic. There are different varieties of fiberfill, so you need to determine just what brand or type to use. Price indicates quality. The cheaper variety isn’t always the best to use. It may clump for you. It may also have tiny fibers that will remove themselves from the rest and float around you. The top quality fiberfill has long polyester fibers that won’t break down into tiny particles. You will need to decide just which brand you want to use. Check the packages and you can see the better quality. It won’t have large lumps, but should look rather uniform.
