To be honest some of those kind of plush dolls with the more human like face really creep me out. This one however looks so nice I love her face. The doll is a nice balance of cursed and cute.

[@concernedamericandoe1366]

OMG! That is my "Doc". I had that bunny when I was 2, and it was my constant companion until she had all of her hair picked out and looked like a rag. I wish I had one like her now. I loved that bunny!

Hi First time watcher from Wisconsin. Have you ever thought of using Oxy Clean to soak plush in? It works so well on dirt. Loved the video, great job! Love your little laugh, it's too cute. TFS Stay safe & ✌

Maravilloso, no veo la hora de tener mi primer rushton 💓

Your a pro at saving the plush

[@AllieKatt11]

I would love to see more restoration videos! Wonderful job! ☺️ additionally if you did some videos on reselling your work! Would love to see that! Very talented and knowledgeable.

You have a gift for this work... Be proud and enjoy the process.... Well done!- Jennifer

[@kitschyflower809]

Thank you so much!!✨💕🌼

[@annevey6543]

You did a fantastic job restoring the rabbit. My husband actually restores Belsnichels, which is a way to preserve them. Using the Cray-Pas to touch up the felt was brilliant. He may try that with some of our old toys. Thanks! BTW, hard to believe it was your first video. You nailed it!

[@kitschyflower809]

Aww thank you!!

[@Mold4brainsz]

Wow she's so cuttee o em gee vintage toys are adorable😭😭 I wish I could get one

[@kitschyflower809]

Aww she is!!

[@elfprincessplume2515]

Ahhh I love this !!!!!! Wish I could find one of these to restore. Ur so lucky! BTW love that yellow shirt you were wearing!

[@kitschyflower809]

Awww you are so kind thank you!!! Sending you all of the best of luck to find one!!! They really are a lot of fun to clean up!!! And thank you so much for your kind words!

[@mythreesons8084]

Did you clean and reuse her bow? I was to quick! You added the bow. She is perfect!

[@kitschyflower809]

I did!

[@nancyworsley5057]

I like to use pretty bowls or other pretty tools etc....when I'm creating too.

[@kitschyflower809]

Yesss exactly!! Even when I’m not filming I still like to! It makes things more fun!

[@pie-eyes]

Will you restore her neck bow? Would love a follow up video 🥰

[@emmepallante6929]

Omg! This is my first time seeing your videos! I also love everything kitsch!!! I work in an antique store and I’m currently ins school for cosmetology! Loved the video definitely subscribing!

[@kitschyflower809]

Oh my gosh I’m so honored. Welcome, welcome to the channel!!✨

[@Stephanie-wp3th]

I'm totally with you. I'm not a big vintage plush collector because their fabric and fur is so nasty. I'm definitely more of a kitschy knickknack collector for that reason. She turned out absolutely gorgeous!

[@kathyk479]

The felt on the feet will dissolve. If you want to be authentic you can make felt to replace the felt with! Lol. How did you get the dirt off her face? Have you tried using a tooth brush on her fur around her face? What's the vest made out of? Have you thought about leather dyes? She looks beautiful! Good job!

[@kitschyflower809]

Hello thank you so much for the tip, I actually did end up replacing the felt completely😍

[@kathyk479]

@@kitschyflower809 you know what though. I've come to the conclusion that replacing things like that is just fine. That's fabric that isn't supposed to last forever. So, it's ok to replace it. Don't worry about it.

[@PyramidXSlender]

Great job!!! How did you seal the pastel on the fabric?

[@bonnieschmid278]

I enjoyed this informative video. How did you get the Vaseline out of the fur? And, after the hair dye application did you let it air dry?

[@kitschyflower809]

Oh I used just conditioner!

[@evil1by1]

Great job, shes so cute. One question, what happened to her ribbon?

[@kitschyflower809]

I believe I kept her original ribbon on maybe I didn’t show it in the video!

[@Thepinkkkpearl]

Hi! 💕 What Exact Dye Brand Did You Use?

[@kitschyflower809]

I’m not sure right off the bat let me see if I can try to figure it out!

Thanks for this info but I don't think I'd do it. Great Video.

He said Cold water and you can cover the white with Vaseline or Conditioner.

Thanks doll🥰

[@kellyruddock8822]

work with what you know.

[@znvorz]

i found two Rushton skunks for $24 each and i want to restore them but im nervous 😳

[@znvorz]

the white part of their fur is dirty like the bunny in this video, one of the skunks is holding a wire flower made of felt(?) hanging by a thread, they have some dirt/dust/scuff marks on their faces and need a little painting done on their faces (i find that part to be easy since im an artist)

[@kitschyflower809]

Omg score!!!!

[@susannesynonym170]

What kind of "interesting stuff" did u find in plushies?

[@stolenangel]

im not cole obv but ive found old pictures, big bugs, ciggs and buds, bottlecaps etc

god i hate the eyes.....like god the pure black eyes just...no
