How to Close a Post & Washer
Plastic Nose on a Teddy Bear
by Wee Sandy
Ever have difficulty jamming that little
washer onto the post of a plastic post & washer teddy bear nose?
Things You'll Need
teddy bear needing a nose
post & washer plastic nose
small container of boiling water
tweezers or hemostats
Place the washer (the little plastic disk)
into the container of boiling hot water. Leave it there for at least 5
minutes, to soften the plastic.
Now remove the washer CAREFULLY from the
hot water. Best to use tweezers or hemostats to get it out of the water.
Run the post of the nose through the
correct position on the teddy bear, then press the hot washer onto the
post on the inside of the bear. If you are quick, it should still be
maleable from the heat. DO NOT press the washer all the way yet...
NOTE that if your washer has a cup
shape, as the one shown, the post goes into the concave side.
Turn head right side out and ensure it is
positioned where you want it before you press the washer all the way on.
Voila!
