Webkinz Adventures

I stumbled across this cutie while garage sale-ing today. I usually don’t pick up plush in this bad of shape, but I felt really bad for her. She had a bunch of stains, dryer burn, and bits of tape on her. It was obvious that she was someone’s favorite friend at some point in her life. I didn’t want to just leave her because I really doubt anyone else would have bought her.

First thing I did was soak her in warm water and a bit of dawn. Her fur was really damaged and greasy, with spots clumped together with what felt like glue?? It was really unpleasant to touch so I wanted to try and loosen those patches up and let those stains soak out.

This is her after soaking for two hours! So much brighter already. Most of the stains came out after some scrubbing. I put her into the washer after for one last bath, let her dry on my box fan completely, then begin the work of brushing out her.

👀 SNEAK PEEK: DIY Dividers Event! 👀

We're running another DIY Dividers event on Webkinz Classic from Monday, June 2nd, until Tuesday, June 10th! 📆

During the event, collect floating cans of paint and then combine them in the Clothing Machine with a DIY Design Ticket and DIY Divider to create theme-specific dividers! 🎨

Here he is as I found him:

His nastiest angle:

I decided to open him up to take all the old, smelly stuffing out and reaffix his thread. Floppy blob puppy:

It's bathtime! I used woolite and some laundry sanitizer to gently wash him:

I air dried him and fluffed him up with a hair dryer on the lowest setting.

Finally, I used a little pair of scissors to clip back some excess fur that was covering his eyes and eyebrows. All done!

Here's a direct comparison (the angle and lighting are a little different tho):

I give all my Webkinz a unique necklace so I followed this pattern tutorial to make this heart embroidered bracelet.

And finally, some glamour pics!
