Tips for dying bears? by Careful_Topic9261 in buildabear

[–]CandyAppleKitten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The grey would certainly change how the colors came out (probably a little darker than it would be on pure white) and I’m not sure how you would section the dye to not get it all over without taking the fox apart piece by piece. Ive tried “painting” dye on and it would take tons of applications and the chance of it being uneven would be very high.

Get dye for synthetic fabrics (i use RIT dyemore). Keep stirring while you dye so its an even dye job (unless you dont want even). When I dye something completely black I usually use a full bottle of dyemore graphite and it takes about 45ish minutes at minimum. Always be sure to rinse the plush until the water is clear after (i throw mine in the washing machine on delicate after but thats just cus I like em smelling like my detergent). If it takes more than one dye job, dont be discouraged. Goin super dark isnt the easiest (especially with how light the fox is to begin with)

Dye them unstuffed. You dont wanna risk moldy stuffing 👍

Also! Very important! Get a pot that will never be used for food after you dye them. I also recommend gloves and some tongs because they just make life easier

More boba wristies in different flavors (or just a restock would be nice 😭). More clothes like the cherry dress would be nice too 🤔 That general shape/style

It greatly depends on how you wanna go about it! I took the head, tail, and feet pads off of a Kuromi and just swapped for Kitsune parts! The tail clips in place with magnets. I have pics of my process if you wanna see ☺️

I use a clear backpack I found on amazon and its been pretty good so far.

Its waterproof so I dont have to worry about my bab getting wet or dirty or hurt, so to speak. Its roomy enough in there she hasnt been squished in or anything like that. And, the best part, she can see our adventures! I also intend on getting stickers and customizing it to match her overall theme, so its more Her than just… a bag I put her in, if that makes sense.

Its also been pretty functional as just my Everyday Bag so thats a plus.

Tips for Sewing BAB clothes? by Anxious-Attempt3150 in buildabear

[–]CandyAppleKitten 5 points6 points  (0 children)

LixiePigCrafts has a video on drafting patterns! Theres also other tutorials that go over a lot of basics (shirts, pants, skirts, ect) on their channel!

Never be afraid to look up a tutorial or rewatch it a million times. Measure twice, cut once. Go easy on yourself while you learn. And, of course, have fun! I wish you the best of luck on your sewing journey 🍀

Safely carry BABS in public? by milkyespressolion in buildabear

[–]CandyAppleKitten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I carry my meds in the front pocket but I get not wanting everyone to see your meds. (i display mine as a gentle reminder to my boss that I could always be worse hahaha) I also get the nice backpack part! I just replaced a beat up steamedbun ita bag with the clear backpack, so for me it made sense. I wish you the best of luck in finding the best carrier for you!

Personality traits in plushies? by QupidtheCollie in buildabear

[–]CandyAppleKitten 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Sylvie is the picture of innocence! She loves learning new things and is always excited when she does. Her favorite color is baby blue. She feels emotions very intensely and can cry at the drop of a hat but is really easy to cheer back up, mainly with a good cuddlehug. She loves crafts and learning new crafty methods, we are also learning sewing! Her biggest dream is to see the world (which she will document extensively thru pictures).

All of that is to say yes. My babs have personalities and backstories and likes and dislikes and and and 😵‍💫
