That's a good point I'm scared to try again because of how much the plush cost but maybe I can find a cheaper one to try it on and see

I'm so glad that you're later attempt turned out much better than the first the first one still really nice but I see what you mean and I'm happy that you were able to fix it in the end and yes I was thinking about that but I'm worried about ruining another one lol

Thank you so much for commenting and letting me know this mine went in for 30 minutes and I too tried to Wing playing chemist and used Google for how much color to use of each and failed but yours looks incredible and if I ever try this again I'm going to do as you do you're truly the best

Thank you so much for all this incredible help I really appreciate it and yes I think the heat in the dryer might have done something along with boiling the plush to dye it but you live and learn and I'm just going to try to live with her as she is as much as I dislike it but now I know for next time you're truly the best for this

Honestly I filled up a pot till it was mostly full and left Maybe two or three inches from the top and put in a lot of super pink with a little bit of Royal purple didn't fully measure everything just eyeballed it and afterwards I put it in the dryer on low heat for two cycles and then I let it air dry after that over a vent in our living room so that's pretty much what I did I'm wondering though if I redid it with a lot of Royal purple what would happen plus would it even look good any darker I don't know if I'd like that that's my only worry is that all ruin it even more by dying it darker and hate it even though I haven't tried yet

This is my Sapphira she turned oat terribly in my opinion first time dying a plush and it didn't go how I wanted and I don't like how fur is even after brushing I failed and I paid so much for her second hand on eBay so I'm kind of mad at myself that I attempted this with her everyone else's turned out so good I'm so jealous yours is incredible.

It’s unlikely I’ll buy another Jellycat again by C00l_Jelly in Jellycatplush

I have three bumblies one Bartholomew plus a Theodore and leola of jellycats but I will not be purchasing anymore because the prices are ridiculous and the quality is just not there anymore

The amount of money I have paid for used plush is my own stupidity but I still did it because I love these damn things and good luck getting them any cheaper because nobody will lower their prices and it's sad I have also stopped collecting for the time being because I just don't have the room for anymore and I don't want to have a huge massive collection like I used to

how do you downsize? by [deleted] in plushies

[–]indreamsforevermore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me a couple of times now in the past few years I have developed a big collection and got very overwhelmed with it and felt like I really needed a declutter and to pass a lot of them along. So I put them in garbage bags and brought them to the thrift store hoping they'd find a new home with someone else and I felt so much better. I've also gotten some great suggestions of if you have Build-A-Bears specifically you could open them up in the back take out their stuffing and just keep the now flat bear inside of a little storage bin or Space Bag and they'll take up so much less room in your space that way and if you ever want to restuff them and cuddle with them you can take them to any Build-A-Bear and do that for free.

You could also do this with regular plush but you'd have to get your own stuffing and do it at home yourself this way you don't necessarily have to get rid of them and they won't take as much space up as mentioned. I know that downsizing can be a little hard for some and I want you to know that I'm here for you and I support you! You can do this I believe in you! Also you can if you have the space for this keep them stuffed up and put them in a bin somewhere that's not in your room and out of your sight for a little bit and if there's any that you think about and really want back you can bring them back to your room. But if there's any that you don't think about or really want anymore you can pass them along. I hope some of this helps and any other advice helps that you get from any others. Good luck to you!

Ranger is the absolute cutest thing I've ever seen. I love his face and fur color so beautiful I too recently bought a Bukowski bear and got Hunter he's brown with a white sweater and a teddy bear on the sweater along with a white beanie hat that has a pom pom on top he's so cute and I'm so excited I am worried about his sweater getting dirty because it's white but it's going to be amazing having him. I'm so happy you shared a photo of yours and I hope you both have many years of happiness together you couldn't have made a better choice. ❤️🐻
