how to replace a 1998 furby’s eyelashes

there’s an awful lot of furby tutorials on the internet but i haven’t seen any yet for eyelashes specifically and it’s something that took me a few tries to get right, so hopefully this helps someone out!  also i apologize for the photo quality, i had to retake several after i was already done but they should still be easy enough to follow

materials: screwdriver, false eyelashes, scotch tape, scissors, tweezers, quick-dry glue

step 1: skin your furby and remove its shell.  plenty of people online have already taught you how to do this much better than i ever could

step 2: remove the topmost screw on the back of your furby, and the one on its faceplate.  on this one it was on the left, but its location varies.  if it’s below the beak you may need to unscrew the speaker in order to get to it

step 3: using a small screwdriver or a toothpick, gently push out the rod holding the eyes and eyelids in place

step 4: gently pull the faceplate forward until you’re able to remove the eyes and eyelids.  be careful not to pull out any part of the light sensor

step 5: i wasn’t able to get pictures for this one because they were already long gone, but if you need to remove the old eyelashes just gently pull up from one end of the glued area.  by now the glue is so old and dry that it should come up easily

step 6: pull out your false eyelashes.  i’m using these rainbow tinsel ones i got from party city

step 7: stick a piece of scotch tape on the back of the eyelashes, about half a centimeter below the glue strip (is that what it’s called?  the little strip of fabric you use to glue them on.  idk)

step 8: cut off the excess tape and the glue strip.  the issue with the strip is that it’s too raised, so if you leave it on your furby won’t be able to move their eyelids properly

step 9: cut the eyelashes in half and use a pair of tweezers to remove any loose ends

step 10: apply a thin coat of quick-dry glue to the front of the eyelashes and stick them in place.  i use latex-based craft glue, but super glue will also work

step 10: repeat steps 7-10 with the second eyelash and layer it over top of the first one.  leave the glue to dry for at least an hour

step 11: reassemble your furby and enjoy their fancy new peepers

Furby Hood Tutorial

Couple notes: This tutorial is just for the hood part of a jacket! The jacket I made using this tutorial by @furbmiester9000, which is adaptable for all furbys! Also, this tutorial is not for a plain hoodie. This if for a collared jacket that has a hood attached to it. 

The only major change I made to the jacket was adding a spot for a tail, which ended up coming to about 2 inches tall and 1.5 inches wide, though you’ll want to cut your hole smaller than that for seam allowance. I also curved the bottoms of the ends(blue arrows) so that it fit better over my furbys feet.

To get started on the hood, measure the length of your jacket, then put it on your furby and measure how high you want the hood to go from the fold of the collar. If you want to be able to take the hood off and have it sit comfortably around your furbys neck then make the height half of the length (e.g. my jacket came to about 12.5 inches so the height would be 6.25 inches). Otherwise it’ll be kinda tight.

The hood is made up of two parts so halve your jacket length then draw out your hood shape on your fabric. I went with a square/rectangle shape with gave me a pointed looking hood. If you want a regular looking hood curve it. Look up different hood shapes and get creative!

Cut out two of those hood shapes, or four if you want your hood to have an inner lining. Remember to include seam allowance!

If you went with two pieces, sew the backside of the hood together.

If you went with four: Take two pieces, sew all but the backside together, then flip it inside out. Repeat with the other two pieces, then sew those two finished pieces together along the backside.

If you aren’t making an inner lining for your hood, then you want to clean up the edges by either folding them in or using bias tape. You only have to do this for the 2 edges that are going to be visible around your furby’s head and it’s up to you whether you want the fold on the outside or inside of the hood.

Next, mark the fold of the collar on your jacket. Then sew the bottom of the hood just below that line. Make sure you’re sewing the hood on the right way! The inside of the hood should be facing the same direction as the inside of the jacket.

Now you just have to sew the top of hood. Unless you went with a curved hood, in which case all you have to do now is make some ear holes!

For the ear holes, I just put the jacket on, found where the tips of the ears are, snipped a small hole, and then went from there. I recommend making very little cuts and checking after every cut that the fit is good. You don’t want your holes too big or in the wrong spots.

As for finishing the hems on the ear holes… I actually didn’t bother to finish mine lmao. If you’re worried about fraying or if you just want that professional finished look, you can fold them in and sew them up or you can use glue. It’s up to you!

And that’s it, your hood should be done! Hopefully this made enough sense and as always my ask box is open if you have any questions!

Working in retail is wild, people just tell me things about their personal life and I just stand there. I don’t know how to respond to “my kid just died” or “I’m getting a divorce” like that’s sucks… $13.48 is your total.
