FAQs
Are these noses safe for babies?
No, these are intended for toys meant for children three years and older due to small parts.
What size is the nose?
These noses are 15mm in diameter.
Can I remove the nose once it is attached?
They are designed to be permanent, so removing them usually requires breaking the washer.
How many noses come in a pack?
Each pack contains 10 noses and 10 matching safety washers.
Do I need special tools for installation?
No, they can be installed by hand, though a tool to push the washer down can make it easier.
Troubleshooting
The washer is too hard to press on
Use a small socket tool or the end of a pen to apply even pressure to the washer until it clicks into place.
The nose feels loose on thin fabric
Add a small circle of stiff felt or stabilizer behind the fabric inside the toy to provide extra thickness for the washer to grip.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Secure locking mechanism prevents detachment
- Complies with international safety standards
- Provides a clean, professional finish to toys
- Ideal for both new creations and toy repair
- Easy to install without specialized tools
Cons
- Not suitable for children under three years old
- Once attached, the washer is difficult to remove without damaging the nose
- Requires a small hole in the fabric to insert the post
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, insert the threaded post through your prepared hole in the fabric. Align the safety washer with the flat side facing the fabric and press down firmly until the washer catches the grooves on the post.
Compatibility: Works best on medium-weight yarn or fabric. If the fabric is too thin, consider using a small piece of stabilizer or felt behind the washer to prevent the nose from sagging.
Care: Once installed, these components are generally permanent. Toys can be hand-washed, but avoid high-heat machine drying as extreme temperatures may warp the plastic components over long periods.
