Okay I've seen people make squishy furbies before but I had no friggin idea so I decided to make one out of cushion foam and it actually worked out.
FUN FURBY TIMES HERE WE GO
Foam. I tried to find the cheapest foam with the longest expansion time. I found it at Wal-Mart it was like 10 dollars.
Cloth. I used fleece. About 5-7 dollars for 4 feet.
Glue sticks (seriously nothing's worse than forgetting you didn't buy glue sticks when you have everythin layed out.)
Skin your furby. Put the skin aside.
Take your to robogut furby and draw the outline of its butt onto the foam with your marker.
Cut out several squares each with the butt outline and stack them.
4.) After the stack is only alightly taller than your furby shell, cut out the outline to the best of your ability and hot glue them together to make a tower as monument to all your failures.
5.) Remove the furby's shell and face plate.
6.) Now at this point usually a tutorial will tell you to hot glue your furby's mouth into a position that you like. That's where I say NAY. Im sure you can do this with those little styrofoam sheet sticker things and cut them out but what I did was lay hot glue "bumpers" where the tongue and beak connect. If you do it right you won't end up losing your beak under the face plate later. Let the bumpers dry and try it out.
7.) Using the scizors (or an exacto knife, I dunno I didnt try it I dont work with foam much) do your best to carve outa vaugly furby shell shape out of your foam tower. It should be roughly the same size and shape as the original shell. Think of it as a new skeleton only but this time its made of matress.
8.) Using the face plate, trace the shape onto the foam.
9.) G O U G E. Using myfingers and carefully ripping out bits of foam until I cod fit your face plate seemed to work well enough.
10.) Glue a piece of fabric onto the back of the face plate. Give the moving parts of the face a bit of space to move freely.
11.) Make sure the face pieces can move freely in the cavity you dug out. If theres a struggle, dig some more.
12.) Hot glue the face plate to the foam.
13.) Laugh for 10 minutes straight because you've created an absolute atrocity lmao what am i even doing with my life?
