I've finished working on my custom cow furby! They have the most custom work I ever put in a furby including; new hand sewn skin, custom eyechips, freckles, hooves and horns and a moveable tail. They still need a name though but I'm happy to show them off after such a long time.

My wonderful friend damien drew me a mothman furby for Christmas and I’m so in love with it!!! I asked his permission to share it and since he doesn’t have a tumblr he posted it on deviantart just for y’all 💗💗💗 please go check his work out

FOAM FURBY TUTORIAL

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

INGREDIENCE:

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.

Scizors

Stuffing

Needle and thread

Glue gun

Glue sticks (seriously nothing's worse than forgetting you didn't buy glue sticks when you have everythin layed out.)

Sharpie

A small screwdriver

God given patience.

HOW IT DO:

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?

14.) Shove that puppy in the skin and make sure it looks okay. Move the eyes and mouth around to see if theres any problems and adjust as needed.

15.) Add stuffing if you feel the need to fill in wrinkles or gaps.

16.) Oh since i forgot this when I did it, you know those holes where the ear prongs go through? Now's a good time to sew them before closing everything up. Hell you can sew the ear flaps down too if it's easier for you like that.

17.) OPTIONAL. But I bought a build-a-bear scent chip on ebay for like 5 bucks and put that in. So if you have any scenty things speak now or forever hold your peace.

18.) Sew up the booty. (I messed up a bit on sewing it I've never done a circle on a circle inside out and now I'm stressed and mad.)

AND VIOLA YA DUN DID IT!

I found this little guy today! He’s pretty dirty and his fur is VERY wirey but I want him to find a good home so if anyone is interested he’d only be about $10 + shipping

WOAH!!! THEY ARE SO BEAUTIFUL??? THE CUSTOMIZING LOOKS AMAZING

[thefurbyning]

o-oh oh my STARS WHERE DID YOU GET/HOW DID YOU MAKE THOSE WINGS????? And the EYES are a great accent! What a sublime being!

[microsoftfurb]

@thefurbyning thank you!!! The wings are from Jo-Ann fabrics, sold near the handmaid doll customization section, and the feather wings were all hand embedded into the actual furby skin by myself using an embroidery needle and needlenose pliers

Blanch is finally done 😇😇😇

Does anyone have any experience bleaching a furby skin?

If so how did it go and what did you do?

[microsoftfurb]

I attempted to dye my new elephant furby black and wow I really messed him up :((( he looks so bad like the color is so bland and grey I want to get him to a true black or a light white but I know I can’t bleach him or dye him with dye so I’m gonna try to use the acrylic paint dye method

Dumah details!

Dumah is the “angel of silence and stillness of death”, Duma - is also the Swahili word for cheetah! I didn’t even realize when I was first bidding that they were even a cheetah, which happens to be my favorite animal!

Just wanted to do some close-ups of all the customizations so far. I still want to add more earrings, a crown of gold and when the eyechips come in they will also be customized to be sky-themed.
