How to Choose Fabric for Plush Toys
Velboa, short curly pile, long pile, or minky — each fabric offers a different feel and price point.
The material determines the feel, durability, and cost of a plush toy.
Stretch velvet
Smooth, with good stretch and vibrant color — ideal for round-shaped plush toys, hugging pillows, and vegetable-shaped plushies.
Short curly pile fabric
Gives a classic teddy bear look and feel, durable and easy to clean.
Long pile fabric
Luxurious and silky soft, but more expensive and requires careful sewing to prevent matting and shedding.
Stuffing
Use pure polyester fiberfill with good resilience so the product keeps its shape for a long time.
