How I gave my furbys scents!
Through the power of sheer curiosity I have managed to give two of my furbys signature scents! Papaya smells like oranges and Charlie smells like peppermint. Keep reading to find out how to do this yourself!
For this project, you will need:
•felt (or similar fabric)
•something to cover the mug
•scent of your choice (preferably in a high concentration to make the scent as strong as possible)
CAUTION: this project needs very hot water. If you cannot/do not want to handle hot water, please ask someone to help you! I don’t want you getting hurt.

First things first- I took my felt and measured out a 2”x3” rectangle. This is around the size of a furby baby’s belly patch, which is where the scent was going to be. Later on I actually cut the piece in half vertically because I found that the piece was too large to place in the belly, and instead I placed one half in the front of Papya and the other in his back.
2. Prepare your scent mixture

[image 2 description: a coffee machine can be seen sitting on a granite countertop with a blue mug sitting underneath, ready to be filled. in front of the coffee machine are three items; (in this order) the aforementioned fragrance oil, the yellow felt rectangle, and a blue silicone lid.]
For this part I used a coffee machine to fill up my mug with hot water. Then I dropped in about 7 drops of the fragrance. Then I stirred the water for about 30 seconds with a spoon.

This part is really simple. Just submerge the fabric into the mixture and place a lid on top. The lid will help keep the water hot. I let the fabric soak for just about 1 hour.
NOTE: the scent did not turn out as strong as I hoped. If you would like your scent to be very strong, I would suggest either putting in more drops of the fragrance or letting it soak for longer (or both).
I didn’t even take a picture of this part because I was lazy. But all you have to do is rinse out the fabric and let it dry.
5. Put the fabric under your furby’s fur

As I said earlier, I cut the felt in half before putting it in. All you need to do is pull up your furby’s fur and slide the fabric under. You should be able to smell your scent through their fur. If you can’t, I would suggest doing another round of soaking with the fabric.
I hope this worked for you if you tried it, and I hope you all found this helpful!
