Tip: Stuffing Tools
I recently finished a project with very tight rounds (5 stitches) and had no idea how to get stuffing into the tiny space without it bunching, lumping and generally acting surly. I found two tools around the house that were just right for the job: plastic chopsticks and tweezers.
The plastic chopsticks are long and quite narrow, so they’re great at getting down long tubes (like stuffing arms or legs). The tweezers are excellent for placing stuffing in one fluffy puff at a time to ensure that tiny spots don’t end up feeling like little rocks. I was able to stuff even the smallest, most delicate areas with the tweezers with no problems.
With the chopsticks and tweezers, I haven’t needed a store-bought stuffing tool to date. Hope this tip helps you. If you have a favorite around-the-house stuffing tool idea, please comment.
