Troubleshooting
Washer won't stay on the post
Ensure the post is correctly inserted through the fabric and that the washer is aligned properly. Press the washer firmly until it is fully seated on the post. If the fabric is too thick, it may prevent a secure fit.
Nose feels loose after attachment
Check that the washer is completely pushed onto the post. If it still feels loose, the fabric might be too thin or the post may be slightly damaged. Consider adding a small piece of interfacing behind the fabric before attaching.
Difficulty pressing the washer on
Ensure you are pressing the washer directly onto the post. Using a pair of pliers can provide extra grip and leverage, but be careful not to apply excessive force that could damage the nose or post.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Insert the post of the safety nose through the fabric of your toy where you want it placed.
- Align the safety washer with the post on the back of the fabric.
- Firmly press the washer onto the post using your fingers or pliers until it clicks or feels securely attached. Ensure there is no gap between the washer and the fabric.
Compatibility:
These safety noses are compatible with most fabric-based plush toys, including felt, fleece, and stuffed cottons. They are ideal for crafting projects such as teddy bears, stuffed cats, dogs, and other animals. Ensure the fabric thickness is suitable for the post length.
Care:
As these are components for toys, the care instructions apply to the finished toy. The safety noses themselves do not require separate care. They are designed to withstand typical cleaning methods for stuffed toys, such as gentle hand washing or spot cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive heat that could damage the plastic nose or the integrity of the washer's attachment.
