Tools for Stuffing Teddy Bears and Stuffed Animals

I like to stuff my collectible artist teddy bears firmly. This tool – a Sizzix stuffing tool is a great help! On Amazon: https://amzn.to/40AJvOv.   When I bought the Sizzix, it was under $20.  If you are just starting out, you don’t need this tool to stuff your teddy bears.  You can use an unsharpened pencil!  If you find that you love making stuffed animals, then you may find that this is your next favorite tool to add to your teddy bear making tool box!
