This week I'm restoring 'Bob Blackberry' a spotted rabbit sylvanian family doll.
I will show you the full process of how to care and restore your dirty and worse for wear sylvanian family figurines or calico critters if your from the US. In this video I detail how to clean correctly, how to repaint lost colouring with watercolour paints, how to replace flocking on your dolls fur and how to make simple patterns for missing clothing items, even making a new tail.
I hope you enjoy this video and if you found it useful give us a like!

I could watch these types of repairs for days. Well done.

I’m gonna make some custom calico critters for a friend for Christmas and this was the perfect video! Thank you!

That sounds so cool. Glad I could help

Thank you for the painting tips! ((While this is a cardinal sin i wanted to add more detail to my critters as they all looked so samey, and the mice tails being white always bothered me))

@sylvanianfriendscollection Год назад

Nice video, I loved the restoration, was fantastic. I would like to see more videos with Sylvanian restorations because in addition to being a collector I am a mother and my children love to play with them and the poor Sylvanians end up in bad condition! Thank you 😊!

@TasminBassettArt Год назад

Thank you so much. I would love to do more. It's just hard to get hold of really damaged and dirty ones to repair.. I think I need people to either send them to me or find some. Hopefully I'll come across some soon.

@stevegreen5552 3 месяца назад

This was most useful! Whilst I don't have the courage to pep up my main collection, I have just bought an inexpensive quartet of damaged Sylvanians - some mucky, one scarred with a marker pen, and a bunny with only one ear. I have "nothing to lose" customising/fixing these figures and I haven't had chance to get attached (!) so your tips on washing and using water colours are most welcome. I may even use some felt to cover the hole where the bunny's ear once was. Making a replacement ear may be a possibility but I would need to investigate that.

I have some little teddy bear dolls which have the same materials with this cute sylvanian. Now I know how to fix my little teddy bears. Thank you so much. It is a very good video🥰

@megisawesome Месяц назад

This is a perfect video and recently just got back into my Sylvanian families and some of my really old ones that I got when I was a kid they’re no bit beat up and I need to fix them but I was too scared to actually use acrylic paint because I have used acrylic paint and fur Things before the past and it always was crusty but I’m definitely gonna use this method and maybe make some custom for myself.

@flywoods1785 7 месяцев назад

Oh my gosh, I have a heavily beloved cream rabbit sister i have had since i was in third grade. My first figure who has long lost her flocking and tail and this inspires me to fix her up on day

@pansy_picnics 9 месяцев назад

this is adorable, i loved sylvanian families as a kid and i have a ton of them still hanging around that are all super damaged and dirty 😭 i remember i put one in the bath when i was little and i was so scared when all the flocking came off and i’ve never washed them again LOL i love watching people restore old toys though, i always wish i could do it myself but im too afraid of ruining them. i actually found this video after going through my old critters and i was curious if there were ways to repair a lot of the common damages. honestly a restoration of this quality is something i think a lot of people would be willing to pay for!!! i still love my critters though, as they say to be loved is to be changed….🥹

@TasminBassettArt 9 месяцев назад

thanks so much, yes im planning on doing more custom work and repair videos in the future and we'll see where that leads, offering restorations would be such a fun little avenue to go down. thanks for your comment glad you enjoyed x

If a flock is missing just add glue and some cotton again and again

Muy buena restauración, que material has utilizado para cola y pelo de nariz? Que pegamento para pelo?

@agnesteng1720 10 месяцев назад

Incredible work!🎉 I would love to ask that if I wash the doll in the future, would the watercolor (for coloring) become moisture or not?😮❤

@TasminBassettArt 10 месяцев назад

It may do I haven't tried on mine. To be safe any repainted areas just brush and tape clean I would say. If you did it in watered down acrylic it may not be affected as much when rewetted.

@butterfliessssss 11 месяцев назад

that's great! i only have one concern with this. aren't you not suppossed to get those wet otherwise their fur will fall off?

@TasminBassettArt 11 месяцев назад

You just have to be careful n not brush to hard

@dr.radice Месяц назад

Could you show us how you would use a felt square for the restoration?

@TasminBassettArt Месяц назад

Next time I have a white sylvanian to repair I will. But same concept cut tiny fibers off the fabric or if you have a strong blender maybe that would help grinding into essentially a powder and then just glue and sprinkle to patch from there. I haven't tried myself with felt squares yet so take this advice with a pinch of salt.

@angelas9696 Год назад

Do you have Sylvanian families? No. No I do not. Did you enjoy this? Yes, surprisingly enough I did XD

Thanks, glad you did x

@RJE95 6 месяцев назад

I enjoyed seeing the restoration, but would the black gouache or watercolour not run if he were to get wet again? Is there a way to seal it? Thanks 😊

@TasminBassettArt 6 месяцев назад

It could do. I would maybe use a watered down acrylic which would have more staying power if it were to get wet again. A spray sealent could work but may ruin the soft texture. Ideally using dye or maybe alcohol or waterproof markers would be best for a super permanent finish.

Gracias por tus hermosos videos ❤ Una pregunta, como se podría colocar bigotes alos sylvanian ? Quizs puedas ayudarme Gracias de antemano ❤

@TasminBassettArt 5 месяцев назад

Check my Santa Makeover video. I added a beard to one you could do it like that with elastic and felt glue one on or paint one on carefully.

What kind of soap do you use?

@TasminBassettArt 8 месяцев назад

Just regular hand soap try not to use anything with too much colour in case of accidental dye properties

@salmanajaaa_ Месяц назад

When you bathe it, doesn't the fur fall out? I want to do it but I'm afraid it will fall out😭😔

What Paint did you use?

@TasminBassettArt 6 месяцев назад

Gouache. You can use watered down acrylic or watercolor too

@elizabethdiaz8939 2 месяца назад

do you think if i use acrilic paint with water it will work?

@TasminBassettArt 2 месяца назад

Should do just make sure its not to thick or runny.

@mollyvee 6 месяцев назад

Have you heard people say the dolls will mold inside if you get them wet? I’m curious to hear your thoughts. I’ve washed mine in water and gotten flack for it. 😢

@TasminBassettArt 6 месяцев назад

I have heard this. It should be fine as long as you thouraghly dry them and not submerge for too long. I dryed with a hair dryer to make sure. I haven't had any problems since. Bob didn't turn mouldy.

@mollyvee 6 месяцев назад

@@TasminBassettArt that’s kind of what I figured. I actually have a Sylvanian that I got in a thrift bag that beyond repair. I’m tempted to get him wet, leave him to dry and then take him apart to see how much water actually gets in 🤔🤔

Sure give it a go. In the name of science

@LandDolphin 6 месяцев назад

I thrifted a high branch giraffe family because I’ve been looking for them for a while, the previous owner wrote their name on the giraffes feet, I started using a baby wipe and I damaged the flocking on the foot and it keep peeling, I’m scared because I don’t want the flocking to come off completely, what do I do? 😰

@TasminBassettArt 6 месяцев назад

Hmm if it's come off I would stick back down what's peeled and fill with either more flocking or a similar fibre cut up small. A little alcohol on a cotton bud may get out a marker stain. But I haven't experimented with heavier staining yet. Good luck.

@LandDolphin 6 месяцев назад

I was able to superglue the baby’s foot back down and I tried my best to carefully remove the marker on the others, thank for your help, I did use alcohol wipes and there’s still remnants of the name but it’s not crazy

hello pls i need help🙏🏻🙏🏻 I have a rabbit from the Sylvian family after I washed it with a toothbrush, its hair got a little damaged🙁🙁 I want to restore it, but I don’t know where to buy hairs or how to do it in general... I have a lot of memories with this toy, can you give me some instructions?

@TasminBassettArt Месяц назад

Oh no. You can buy 'flocking' in some art supplies stores or search online. It comes in different lengths so I would get the smaller ones. Fix the patches with a little glue and dust over the flocking. I haven't bought any myself yet so not sure of suppliers. X
