A mix of black safety noses that you can attach to your knitted, crocheted or sewn teddy bear. Using safety noses instead of, for example, knots of yarn gives the finished result a really cute and more natural look.
The safety or amigurumi noses come in different sizes: 9, 12 and 16 mm.
On the back of the safety nose there is a plastic locking mechanism that ensures that the nose stays firmly in place and, when fitted correctly, the nose will not fall off. The stem of the safety nose itself has some grooves, and no matter which groove you press the plastic part down over, the nose will stay firmly in place. The grooves are practical as the safety noses can be attached to a sewn teddy bear made with a very thin piece of fabric, just as the nose can also be attached to a teddy bear knitted with a very thick yarn.
Mounting the safety nose:Â
1. It is important that the stopper is mounted close to the back of the nose - at the bottom of the stem.
2. Strengthen the stopper's hold on the stem by melting the outer part of the stem.
3. Watch our video to see how to (easily) melt the end of the stem slightly and then press it wide.
4. This makes the end piece wider than the stopper's hole, which greatly strengthens the installation.
5. Always remember to check that the nose and stopper are intact and that the fitting is firmly seated in the needlework.
NOTE: When making crafts and homemade items, especially for babies, it is important to be careful with the fastening. Especially careful with knots and loops. To be safe: Always check carefully before use and discard if there are any signs of damage or wear.
