Opry Pack of 120 Animal Nose Whiskers

Match the animal nose whisker length to the size of the toy’s nose and face: 59–63 mm work well for small amigurumi and soft toys; 75–88 mm suit medium sizes with standard noses; 112 mm fit larger figures or when you want a stronger expressive effect. Test placement on the piece before fixing and check symmetry and spacing against the nose.

A simple rule: visible whiskers shouldn’t extend too far beyond the width of the face. If in doubt between two lengths, temporarily hold in place with low-tack tape, check proportions from different angles and pick the one that looks balanced without “overreaching” the cheeks. Using chalk marks or templates helps repeat positions across multiple projects.

Place the plate with hole on the outside of the piece, align the hole with the shaft of the plastic nose and insert both together. Hold the plate flat against the fabric while attaching the safety washer inside until it clicks into place. Check that the five whiskers on each side are horizontal and parallel before locking fully to maintain facial symmetry.

If the fabric is thick, open the insertion point slightly with a darning needle to avoid forcing. Check from multiple angles to ensure the plate is level and the whiskers emerge evenly on both sides. Once fixed, gently tug the set to confirm it’s secure and discard any loose fittings.

Yes. Position the plate between the fabric and a small felt disc inside, and stitch firmly around the hole to hold in place. This method works if you’re not using safety noses or if you prefer avoiding rigid components inside. Keep stitches short and evenly tensioned so the plate doesn’t twist during use.

Only reinforce as needed: too many layers can bulk up the muzzle area. Finish threads inside and check whiskers remain parallel and untwisted. For batch work, mark the centre line and exit points with chalk or pins to repeat the same placement across pieces and speed up assembly.

Before fixing, smooth the animal nose whiskers into their final direction with your fingers and check under the light to ensure no strands cross. After mounting, if slight misalignment appears, adjust gently from the base and align both sides relative to the nose centre. Always move both sides evenly to avoid displacing the plate under the fabric.

If handling has left marks, let the toy rest and gently smooth again; avoid heat or chemicals that could alter material. On plush toys with long fur, trim hair around the muzzle so whiskers stay visible and don’t look bent. Checking from different angles helps detect false asymmetries.

The Opry Pack of 120 Animal Nose Whiskers is a finishing accessory for soft toys and amigurumi. If the toy is intended for young children, ensure extra-secure fixing: use safety noses with washers or strong stitching and check regularly for looseness. Small components may pose a risk if detached.

No specific safety certifications are claimed; follow the regulations in your country and run your own pull tests on prototypes. Avoid using in items for children under 3 unless you have a certified attachment method. Always prioritise secure interior fixing and inaccessible ends.

Yes, trim with sharp scissors for a clean cut to adjust proportions to your character. Work symmetrically: measure from the centre and trim gradually until the desired length, avoiding harsh cuts that leave visible points. Remove any rough edges and smooth whiskers into place before checking the result at a distance.

We do not recommend heat methods to seal or bend: these may alter colour or stiffness. For a subtler effect, trim slightly and separate strands with your fingers to spread volume. Always test first on a spare piece before adjusting your final project.

For care, remove dust with a soft brush or gentle air and realign with your fingers if disordered. Avoid harsh washing or spin cycles that could snag whiskers. If washing is necessary, place the muzzle inside a mesh bag and use a gentle cycle suited to the base fabric.

For spot cleaning, wipe around the muzzle with a slightly damp cloth without soaking the base or plate. Let air dry and smooth back into place. Regularly check the fixing (washer or stitching) and repair if any looseness appears. Simple care keeps the toy’s expression and symmetry intact.
