HAPPY VALENTINES DAY FURBY PALS!!!
I spent some time scanning in all the vintage valentine cards with their back, the box, and the sticker seals! I hope everyone can enjoy them <3
Want to take your 2012/boom out and about without being a noise pest like this lil guy? Tutorial after the cut!
YOU WILL NEED:
- small wire
- small switch
- speaker from furby
STEP ONE
Peel your furby and unplug the speaker (brown clip). Take the speaker out of its cradle
(This furby's speaker looks like it's about to blow lmao but thats a problem for later 🤪)
STEP TWO
Desolder one of the speaker's wires, and then solder the new wire to the same spot on the speaker
STEP THREE
Solder the other end of the two wires to adjacent prongs on the switch. Make sure they're next to each other!!!! One of the prongs on the end should be empty teehee
STEP FOUR
Carve a hole in the furby skeleton to slot the switch into. Make sure it sits nicely when the speaker cradle is inserted, then hot glue it to secure
STEP FIVE
Reassemble furby and enjoy your new polite boye!!!! 😍
It was a mashup of painting over my reference photo and free handing some parts because I'm still learning to paint, but it was fun! My dumbass accidentally deleted the sai file and the only reason I have this screenshot was because a friend asked how I achieved certain affects, so I can at least share those-
‼️My original account, sodapop-hospice, got hacked! I’m trying to find my audience again on this acc!‼️
This’ll be part one of me reposting my furbies to this account! They’ve gone unappreciated for a while anyway, so I’d like to remind everyone of who my creatures are.
Today’s ✨Furbies of the Day✨ are Salud and Niro! Both of them use she/her or they/them pronouns!
Needless to say, they’re maximalist girlies. Niro has a sort of kidcore/clowncore vibe to her, while Salud’s look is inspired by Decora Kei!
Model ID: Niro is a Primary Furby Baby and Salud is a Flower Bud Furby Baby!
They’re also girlfriends! They’ve been together a good four years now! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
I´m new to actually writing patterns up for others to use, so please tell me if there is anything that´s hard to understand or if you find any mistakes. Also, if you do make your furb a beret, please send me a pic or tag me in your post, I would love to see what you make!

Pompom - please look up a separate pompom-making tutorial, i suck at making pompoms. After you make one, just use the same thread you used to tie the pompom together to sew in to the beret on top
The trim - entirely optional, I used a crochet thread and a 2mm hook
(ss, 5sc, ss) into each [50]
