Restoring Teddy Bears and Stuffed Animals

Restoring Teddy Bears and Stuffed Animals

Editorial Reviews
Christel and Rolf Pistorius
Because we have more than 3,000 teddy bears in our collection, we have studied a wide range of antique and modern Teddy Bears and plush animals, representing many different makes and styles. We have taken them apart, and we have put them back together again so that we could learn about the various materials and designs. We would like to share this knowledge with you in our simple-to-understand book.

Book Description
For the first time ever, professional restorers Christel and Rolf Pistorius share their techniques, tips and advice in this informative, instructive and charming book. The German couple provides easy-to-understand, step-by-step instructions for repairing and restoring old and new teddy bears and stuffed animals. More than 200 detailed color photos guide the reader in tasks such as: selecting and caring for materials; cleaning; replacing voice boxes, applying ears and stitching noses and mouths. This is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in preserving or restoring their plush toys.
