Reddit reviews The Bear Mill Recordable Sound Module -107

A push button voice recorder (or voice chip).

Amazon has this one.

Also look at the EZ Sound Box item, since the first option has you speaking directly into the box. The EZ lets you record from other sources.

A red cloak, for those like me who aren't familiar with them.

How about these 10sec toy message recorders? They're cheap enough that you can buy a few, 1 for each sound you want to make.

It looks like you can order a customizable sound module for $5, or in bulk for $1 each.

Get someone good at filking, then sneak the module to a Build-a-Bear Workshop. You could do it all for $30.

I’d be tempted to do a Kickstarter, but there’s that little issue of copyrighted music.

It was actually pretty easy. I had the sound play through my computer speakers and just had to repeat until the timing was right. My only real complaint is that I didn't secure it, so it moves around.

This is what I used, although the item shown looks different from what I bought. That's the link though, and the company. I'd recommend it.

They should. I remember my brother and I had a card where we recorded a message for our mom that played every time the card opened. The recorder is something akin to this.

You may not be able to (they're usually hard wired), but the modules for recording your own sound are pretty cheap on Amazon.

1. I would suggest using chalk. You can get chalk markers from Joann's. I personally like my chalk wheel by Dritz.
   
   
2. If you are hand stitching, learn the back stitch. That will give you a good, strong seam. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWApKOQfi7s
   
   
3. Even hand stitching comes with time. To help, mark your seam allowances and follow the line. I'd shoot for 3/8" stitches since you're working with a loftier fabric.
   
   
4. For the eyes, I would glue them down to get the placement correct and then do a whip stitch around the edges to 100% secure them.
   
   
5. This sound module has pretty good reviews on amazon https://www.amazon.com/The-Bear-Mill-1903-Recordable/dp/B000JG902O
