Grab a hair brush that you are no longer using and start to give your plush a good brushing.

Stuffed animal fur matted.

Make sure to brush in the natural intended direction of the fur and use tape to get out any debris from matted areas. Hard to know without seeing a picture sometimes people wash their stuffed animals and put them in the dryer and it crinkles or fries the plush and you can t fix that. Once a stuffed animal is dried fluff up the fur gently with a brush. If you know that is not the case you can get a dog brush and try that starting at the ends and working up i find wire ones or widely spaced bristles with rubber tips work best.

Some stuffed animals are made from synthetic fibers so special care needs to be taken to brush them. It s fairly similar to brushing a real pet. You have your piece of fake fur ready. A regular hairbrush can be used but it should have soft widespread bristles.

As you continue you will start to see how much fur get collected in the brush. One possibility is to trace the seams of the entire damaged piece and rip them to remove the piece. Then use the piece for a template to cut the new fur into the needed shape. That s why i always like to hand wash my stuffies especially when they ve just come back from the thrift shop and i don t necessarily know.

Ok now it is time to fix the fur on the stuffed animal.
