Have you ever thought about buying cheap new pillows for stuffing if you ever get in a bind? 😊

[@LoopingTeddys]

That is much a smart idea! 💡 However since I’m based in Europe I have to comply to CE-standards with my plushies which includes only using certified materials 🫣 So sadly it’s not an option for me over here 🥲

[@Stacymakes]

@@LoopingTeddys Well Shoot!

[@corathirley3867]

I’m in the UK and we also don’t have stores that sell polyfill or anything like that so I buy pillows with 100% in them and that is exactly the same as what these companies sell as stuffing. It’s like €5 for 2kg! Super cheap

[@LoopingTeddys]

Wait that’s so smart! 👀🤯

[@DarwinsCrafts]

I'm in the UK and we've got various craft shops that sell CE compliant stuffing. Not always the cheapest, but it saves on shipping, and my favourite little store will hold any damaged (and therefore discounted!) bags for me. I usually pay about £6 for 2 kg. First of your videos I've seen, and I love your item tags! Do you buy them, or print yourself?

[@LoopingTeddys]

That store sounds wonderful I wish I had something like that near me! 👀🫣 it’s such a bummer that none of the craft stores here have anything related to plushie making 🥲 Thank you for your compliment on my tags 🤭 I used the canva template from camrynscutecreations as a guide but wanted to make them more cohesive to my brand. Mine are half the size of a business card so I let them get printed and then cut them in half 🙌🏼

[@44Lisbeth]

i don't know where you are in the world, but here we have a company called Jysk, I buy theire cheapest pillows and strip them for filling. Its a whole lot cheaper for me to get them insted of stuffing

[@LoopingTeddys]

Great idea! We have Jysk here as well (I actually bought my market tables from there 🙌🏼) however since I have to work ce-compliant I sadly can’t use not certified materials 👀🥲

[@shannanbogner5459]

Good luck at your market.

[@LoopingTeddys]

Thank you! 🤭

[@jaye7528]

Great video ! I love the way you do your safety eyes. I usually just use one washer and crazy glue but I might try your trick. Keep up the good work.😊

[@LoopingTeddys]

Thank you! 🥰

[@theresaschmidt7362]

Hey, I’m also a crocheter from Germany and I was wondering what yarn you use for the chickens. The only thing I can imagine looking very similar is Gründl Funny Dots 🤔🤔

[@lisascrochetcorner]

Hey, could be Himalaya Dolphin Tweed :)

[@LoopingTeddys]

You’re correct I use the Gründl funny dots for them 🙌🏼

Es freut mich, dass du so viel Erfolg hast. Kannst du mir bitte sagen, welche Vorlage du für die Pinguine verwendest. Danke und weiter so 😊

[@LoopingTeddys]

Hallo danke dir für deine lieben Worte 🤭☺️ die Pinguine sind von harucrochets auf Etsy: www.etsy.com/de/listing/1627515583/hakelanleitung-vogel-ohne-nahen-alle?click_key=f4e40a95b1e802462d90068c297575021fbc698b%3A1627515583&click_sum=dc6c807f&ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=harucrochets&ref=sr_gallery-1-1&organic_search_click=1&bes=1&sts=1&dd=1&content_source=0ca85e3b55ef1b4639e5ec00e7e58714dfd6e022%253A1627515583

love the little black and white cat. is it your pattern? i enjoy your content..

[@LoopingTeddys]

Thank youu! 🤭 the cat pattern is by bigbebez on Etsy 🙌🏼

[@kat4005]

@@LoopingTeddys thank you!

[@SilverstoneJA]

kleiner Tipp für dich: Füllkissen von action. 45x45 cm gibt es für 1,99€. das klappt prima damit. Ist das gleiche drin wie in "richtiger" Füllwatte. Kik hat auch welche, die sind aber teurer.

[@LoopingTeddys]

Super Idee! Ich bin aber ehrlich gesagt bei meinen Materialien sehr vorsichtig weil ich alles nach CE teste und mir so bei der Watte nicht sicher sein kann dass sie schadstofffrei ist 😕🥲 leider sind die getesteten Sachen immer teurer 🥺
