Is your favorite mini teddy bear charm at risk of losing its place on your backpack? At Pocket Joy DIY, we know how much those small plush companions mean to teen girls. When the lanyard frays after years of adventures, don't panic! Using household items, our DIY repair trick will revive your pocket buddy in 15 minutes.
✅The Materials You'll Need:
1）A strong rope;
(Tips: You can use old shoelaces or trouser ropes. I used the white rope on the mask. Cut the rope on the mask with scissors in advance and set it aside.)
2）Needles & white cotton threads;
3）Scissors;
4）ruler
Here, we will show you how to DIY a new loop on the top of the mini brown teddy bear charm.
Pocket Joy DIY Step-by-Step Guide:
1️⃣ Measure & Cut:
First, use a ruler to measure the length of the white rope used for hanging ropes, mark 2~3cm with a pen, and cut it with scissors for later use. (Here, I cut 2.5cm of the white rope.)
2️⃣ Create the Loop:
Pass the white cotton thread through the eye of the needle and tie a knot, then start sewing the cut 2.5cm white rope.
Fold the 2.5cm long white rope in half, and sew the two ends of the white rope together with a needle, and you will get a white rope loop.
3️⃣ Replace Old Lanyard:
Use scissors to cut the broken hanging rope on the head of the small teddy bag charm, and use a needle to sew the white rope loop of the front seal to the broken hanging rope. Then, you have successfully saved it!
4️⃣ Reattach the Charm:
Finally, remember to put the original metal buckle of the small care bear back into the new white lanyard on the mini stuffed animal charm's head, and then you can hug it again! Congratulations! Your pocket buddy can accompany you to school again and bring you pocket joy!
