Vintage Rushton Restoration

[@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!

[@kitschyflower]

Awww!!

[@siwarvidsson9705]

So cute❤

[@Picasocat]

She's adorable. I have a few I need to restore, but have been terrified to ruin them. I may start with the smallest one. Thanks for sharing!

[@kitschyflower]

Awwe thank you so much for watching!!! Good luck I’m sure you’ll do a great job!!

[@grimlen_named_Moss]

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.

For brushing out plushes, use a dog slicker brush. It’s life changing.

Omg I love itttt

[@nancyworsley5057]

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

[@kitschyflower]

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

[@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!

[@kitschyflower]

Aww thank you!!

[@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.

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

[@kitschyflower]

I did!

[@pie-eyes]

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

[@Thedollydreamer]

Oh my gosh! She looks ADORABLE!!! You did such a great job and this video was SO much fun to watch!

[@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!

[@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!

[@kitschyflower]

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!

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 & ✌

[@angiestreasures]

Marvelous 💞

[@kitschyflower]

Thank you!!!💕✨🥺

[@angiestreasures]

@@kitschyflower You are so welcome ❤️

[@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!

[@kitschyflower]

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

[@kathyk479]

@@kitschyflower 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.

[@gio_ser5120]

Wow❤

[@ezozione]

i just found your channel and im so glad i did! i love when people have such obvious love and care for their craft. bonus points for cool hair. she turned out beautiful!

Where do you buy your dolls from?

[@evil1by1]

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

[@kitschyflower]

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

[@LesC-vp6ec]

Did you rinse her after you spray dyed her?

[@kurilord]

I have a Santa I want to clean and re-stuff... I'm worried the red will bleed into the white. Any tips?

[@theoriginalaquawoman]

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

[@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?

[@kitschyflower]

Oh I used just conditioner!

[@thetvmediafanandexpert4587]

Hi! 💕 What Exact Dye Brand Did You Use?

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

What would you recommend for a santa? I have one that's filthy 😳. I'm so scared to wash

[@mikec.looks4magic554]

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

i think i've seen that rabbit in a Melanie Martinez video

[@aerozin]

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

[@aerozin]

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)

[@kitschyflower]

Omg score!!!!

[@AnaCecilia-fq3cj]

Mesmo depois da restauração continua assustador

[@kitschyflower]

Thanks doll🥰

[@kellyruddock8822]
