Soft Toy - Pompon Bear Picture Gallery
Materials Required
* Double Knit Wool * A rod of diameter 1/2 inch (Approx) and length 12" approx. * A big needle * Eyes, Nose * Fevi Bond.
Method
The Pom Pon Bear consists of several wool balls (of various sizes) joined together appropriately to make the bear. So first lets see how to make the balls. The basic procedure to make the balls is the same.
1. First take four strands of the wool, each of approx 12" in length. 2. Now keep the 4 strands along the length of the rod. 3. Now using the wool ball wind it over the 4 strands and rod 4. After completing a single layer repeat the process over and over again
For a normal size Pom Pon:
* Body will have 12-14 windings. * Legs will have 09- 10 windings. * Hands will have 08 windings. * Head will have 10 windings. * Ears will have 06 windings. * Snout will have 06 windings. * Tail will have 06 winding.
5. After completing the required windings, slide off the wool. Now using the 4 strands tie a knot which brings the two ends of the windings together.
6. Now cut off the folded edges neatly. After this, roll the piece between your palms and make it into a small ball. Similarly make the rest of the balls.
7. Join the head and the body using the 2 strands, by tying a knot.
8. Next Join the hands, legs, ears and snout accordingly using needle and wool.
9. Stick the eyes and nose to complete the Bear. You can also tie a bow around its neck.
To make a bigger bear, you can increase the windings accordingly.

Q: How much does my idea cost ? A: "Get a Quote" and we can tell you. That is a big question. There are a number of factors that effect a toys price but the basics are: quantity - as you increase the quantity, the shared costs to produce your project, is spread over more pieces, therefore lowering your price. In general, the more you order the less you pay per piece. size- this effects your price as you choose larger toys. Common sizes that we use now are 4"-6" for beanie type toys, 8"-12" for smaller stuffed toys, and 12" and above for everything else. A bigger toy does not just mean more material. The greater size, adds to labor and shipping costs as well. quality - we can choose from hundreds of furs and materials, all ranging greatly in price per yard, to create your toy. Inexpensive furs can be as little as $2 - $3 per yard, while rich looking mohair can cost $115 per yard complexity - this is similar in quality but more from a design and labor aspect. A good example of two varying complexities in a toy are ; • a beanie type dog that is simple in shape and the look • a realistic looking German Shepherd stuffed toy that exhibits many of the characteristic associated with that breed Q: Where do you manufacture my toys ? A: China. We did manufacture everything locally up until the end of 1998. At that time we developed a strong relationship with a small factory in China. They shared our desire to bring good quality products to people at low prices and low quantity levels. Binkley now manufactures all of it's producs offshore.
Q: What happens if my sales exceed our expectations, can Binkley keep up? A: Yes. There is a similar lead time required for each order you place of 8-12 weeks. We can deliver 500 to 100,000 pieces in that time. Each contract is unique so we will advise you in detail at that time of an exact delivery date. Anyway you look at it, we'll be there to take care of your needs. Q: Where do I send my ideas, payment ? A: You can mail or courier your ideas or payment to our address in Bradenton Florida, or our Ontario, Canada address. You can find our detailed contact information here. Q: What is your minimum order? A: 500 pieces is a good starting point, taking all things into consideration. Binkley has produced single production quality pieces for corporations, but this can cost over a thousand dollars. The more you order the cheaper it is. 500 pieces is a good starting point to get you a reasonable price. Get a quotation on your idea now.
Q: Is your price your final price? A: Yes, and No. In developing a unique product, there are dozens of decisions which need to be made in order to establish your price. We decide on the quality of materials, the complexity of the design and the speed at which it will be produced. We can reduce or increase any of these factors in order to re-quote and alter your final price. At Binkley we believe that if you deal with us you get more than what you pay for. We would be happy to discuss your quote in detail to establish how your price was calculated. Q: How long does it take to get my product? A: 8 - 12 weeks. Shipping times vary contract to contract. A timetable is provided along with your quotation. Normally the biggest factor in completing a project is the upfront collection of information and details. The better we work together on the initial stages of a contract the quicker it will go. The typical steps and duration are: • Prototype Stage - within 4 weeks approximately • Production Stage - within 12 weeks approximately • Delivery ( local ground shipping ) - 3 to 8 days Q: Are your toys safe? A: Yes, Binkley has been manufacturing toys for over 20 years. All of our toys meet or exceed international health and safety standards. We pride ourselves on our high level of customer service, exceptional quality, but before any of these traits... number 1 is Safety. Some of our clients are international corporations who take the international safety standards, and divide by two. So if normally we are allow 20 parts per million of heavy metals in a printing ink, these companies insist on 10 parts per million. We meet and beat these ultra strict safety guidelines. Q: How do I know Binkley is a reputable company? A: Feel free to make inquiries to our reference provided and read the referrals there. Step by Step Steps in Using Us as Your Stuffed Toy Manufacturer The main steps are ; 1 - Gather your ideas 2 - Get a quotation 3 - Order a prototype 4 - Approve the prototype 5 - Production 6 - Shipping 1 - Gather your ideas You will need to have a good idea of what you require for your project. These are some of the questions we will need to have answered to continue with a quotation. • size of toy • approximate quantity (500, 5000, 50,000 pieces ?) • quality level ( lower - giveaway or higher - retail product ) • complexity - this is similar to quality but effects your price greatly • image (not required but can help with quotation) We discuss each of these factors in more detail in the Frequently Asked Questions. 2 - Get a Quotation If you have your idea narrowed down somewhat then either give us a call or use our online quotation request form to have one of our sales representatives prepare a detailed quotation. We can have a quote back to you within 2 business days detailing the final steps we will follow and how long each step will take. 3 - Order a Prototype Binkley can create a prototype that comes close to your idea. There may be some limitations, since price, safety, and available materials all play a role in the final outcome. Your product will truly be one of a kind though. We normally recommend that you allow our professional designers to recommend the best materials and colors to create your product, based on your ideas and input. 4 - Approve the Prototype Assuming there are no changes to your prototype, you will approve the prototype and we can move ahead into your production run at the quantity level you decide upon. Most of our contracts, are able to go ahead after the first prototype. This saves you time and money which is why we work so hard on gathering all information up front.
When you start to show your new prototype around you will see the excitement it can generate. If needed we can make minor changes to your prototype with a computer photo edit. We will show you a side by side photo of how your prototype looked, and how your changes will be reflected in a final product. A physical sample can be sent to you showing you the changes, when we go in to production. This service is free of charge*. Any prototype deposits are credited 100% towards your production run. *please note - Your prototype deposit gets you one prototype, and then prototype changes shown in a photo edit. If you require more then one prototype stages, then at an additional cost, Binkley is happy to help you develop product ideas through various stages of prototypes. This means that we will incorporate new design ideas in progressive stages of the prototype. Adding new ideas to the second, third and further generations, virtually 'grows' your initial idea into a highly marketable product. The development of a product in this way will be billed in separate stages and is not included in our average quote. Please call for details at 1-800-304-6642. 5 -Production If there were no changes going in to production, we will simply keep you up to date as your materials come in to the factory, production is completed, and we are shipping out your goods. This part can be the hardest for you. This is when you just have to wait. If you like, give us a call for an update on how we are doing. If you did have changes going in to production, we will send you a production sample, which is the first toy off the line. We will get your approval before completing production so you will know exactly what you are getting. The majority our contracts are delivered on or before the proposed delivery date. Binkley prepares your project to ship to your chosen destination(s). We work hard to deliver your product on time and on budget. We will disclose all costs in stages #2 and #3 so that there are no surprises at the Shipping stage. 6 - Shipping Please know that we do everything to keep this part simple. We use FedEx Trade Networks, one of the top logistics companies in the world to move your product safely, quickly and affordably. We will follow up with you soon after shipping, since first impressions are what give us the satisfaction of doing our job right.

Our production process Let's assume we are going to create an entirely new product. Of course if you choose to use one of our existing products the delivery time will be faster. Or you may wish to have a logo or message printed on one of our existing items. This is also very quickly done, and we just need to allow for making the samples and sending them to you for approval. Some of our products have an ideal shape for block-printing (football jersey, heart, smiling face, paperclip...) It is best to ask us about delivery times as our workload can vay according to the time of the year. The order quantity is also a factor. We can usually deliver large orders in phases to suit your schedule and suitable shipping volumes. It is prudent to allow a minimum of 5 or 6 weeks for shipping each delivery from Hong Kong or China to your nearest port. We can also air freight the first production batches for you if time is short. It is important to consider: Manufacturing process: Blow moulding minimises the material quantity used and gives a soft, flexible, light and cheap product that can be very cute. However if it needs to be painted care needs to be taken to ensure the paint sticks. Injection moulding can be used to create more complex shapes and is easier to paint and finish. Material: What is the final use of the product? Contact with food items? Child's toy? Flexible item? Bendable item? Hard or soft plastic? Erase? These facrtors will affect the choice of the plastic type. Size: If too large there are more material costs, more volume and weight to transport. If the object is too small, and there is a lot of detailed painting to be done in several colours, then finishing is difficult, time consuming and good quality is difficult to maintain. Certain sizes may be dangerous for young children (swallowing). If it is a capsule item, then its size must just fit the capsule for which it is intended. Shape:The object must have a shape that allows it to be successfully injected or formed and then removed from the mould. Usually the mould is in two half pieces with a flat interface at the joint. Re-entrant or undercut shapes can make it difficult or impossible to remove from the mould, and twoseparate moulds may be needed, which will increase the tooling costs. Sometimes a small and acceptable change to the shape will solve such problems. If a separate piece is nevertheless required, the piece will be glued, so agreement on the type of fixing and glue is needed. Sometimes a very flexible plastic will permit de-moulding when it would otherwise seem very difficult or impossible. (e.g. spiky balls) If the item is for a key chain then a loop or other provision for attaching the chain and ring will be incorporated in the mould. Very often a hole will be placed in the bottom so that a pencil topper version of the object can also be produced, and the volume of material is slightly reduced. Painting and colours: If there is a predominant colour then this will be applied in the mass. Glitter and other effects can also be applied. Spray painting can be used for rainbow and other effects. Incorporated items: Are there any small objects to be built in, like lights with a small battery, metal attachments, provision for fixing screws and the like?
How is plast Steps in the production of a new plastic item:
Let's assume a typical injection moulded key ring toy. We will agree with you at an early stage on the procedure and such details as hold points at critical steps. The usual steps are:
1) Design of the master figure: Clay (plasticene) model made by model maker > view, comments & approval by Chi Hong (hold point) > Rubber mould > Plaster model (final shape & all details) > submission to Client for approval and any modifications to be agreed (hold point)
2) Making the master mould: Launch mould making > Chi Hong factory manager responsible from receipt of plaster mould to completion of the production moulds including all necessary production details such as the ingate and main gallery, branches and details for air removal, provision of wires for bendable items etc.>
3) First batch samples: Submission to Client for approval of a first batch trial run with full painting and finishing details including packaging > agree any minor modifications to painting or packaging (hold point)>
4) Mass production.
