We hope you will keep the doll for years to come! But when it's time to part ways, pass it on to a friend or donate it. If it's too worn to reuse, take it to a textile recycling drop-off.
Fabric & Floss Scraps: Leftover cotton fabric and DMC floss can be saved for future projects or patching. Small scraps of 100% cotton can go in home compost, and larger pieces can go to textile recycling.
Stuffing: Save leftover stuffing for future dolls or other craft projects. Most stuffing is polyester, which can't be composted, so take it to textile recycling if your area accepts it.
Needle: Keep it for your next project! To dispose of it, put it in a small sealed metal container, like an empty tin, and recycle it with metal recycling (check your local recycling facilities first since sharp items can cause injuries for workers)
Packaging: The screen printed paper packaging can be reused for gift wrapping, or recycled in paper recycling or single stream recycling. There's a small plastic pouch to keep the poly filling, either throw in the trash, reuse, or recycle with TerraCycle or similar facilities.
Kiriki Press was founded by Michelle Galletta, a printmaking graduate of the Ontario College of Art and Design. Michelle wanted to make embroidered owl dolls for her niece but couldn't find a pattern anywhere, so she learned to embroider and designed her own. Soon she fell in love with embroidery along the way, with its vibrant colors, its endless variety of stitches, and how calming it is. After years of improving her skills, she launched Kiriki Press in December 2012 with seven patterns. Her goal was to give others the chance to make something precious with their own hands!
The collection has grown since then and now includes other DIY products. Michelle was chosen as a Featured Seller on Etsy and has contributed to Mollie Makes books and magazine. Kiriki Press has also been featured in Uppercase, Canadian Living, Chatelaine, Bust Magazine, Homespun, and many other publications and craft blogs.
