This is what furby hunting on eBay feels like
Happy (late) 23rd birthday to my very first Furby, Homefry!
I made furby !
Loud Lime tutorial
so everyone really likes Loud Lime, my Furby I made in response to the huge influx of people enjoying the Juicy Grape and Tart Tangerine models. Here is how I did it.
Need:
water
acrylic paint
a cup or something to put paint in
another cup for more paint
a clean toothbrush
lots of paper towels
a hair drier (this is recommended but not that important, it just dries the paint faster)
a clean, flat workstation like a table
most importantly, a Furby!
make a dime sized spot of paint in your paint cup
pour two tablespoons of water into the paint cup
stir it with something until it looks like you’ve got a whole cup of the color paint you poured in
after the scrubbing, review your work; is there….
spots that aren’t colored in?
globs of paint in one area of fur?
paint where where shouldn’t be?
hair drier it for 5 minutes while brushing it with a comb/cat brush/brush
OR: wait for like 10-15 minutes. occasionally check to see if the fur is still soft and the texture feels good. brush your furbs fur!
i used q-tips, those cotton swab on a stick things & dipped them in just regular paint to paint on the faceplate and eyelids. it wasn’t easy.
i hope this helped lol
*feeble crunchy wheeze*
Some nerd who doesn’t know how Pokemon works: Status moves don’t matter lol they all suck
Me: Explain this then
While carving eyelids can really enhance a custom, there are cons the carving the kids being they won’t be able to fully close them after and there may be risk of a slip and cutting too deep into them, if you do don’t fear, I’ve seen lots of people fix slips with air dry clay and then paint over them to hide the clay!
But onto the tutorial!
So I start off by taking off the furbies shell and removing the eye pins and pulling out the eyelids. You can find how to get them out in a lot of tutorials on how to remove the faces for long furbies but Here you will be screwing it back together so be careful not to lose screws!
Once they’re out I draw out the guide lines, Be it angry or sad or whatever you wish!
These ones are Brie’s so they were angry!
Then using some nail cutters like these
I cut from the start of each edge, making sure to not cut off or through the holes on the side that thread the eyelids on the pin!
Then after the entry cuts are made I go through them following the guide line with a scalpel. a dremel tool is also very good and probably better but sadly I don’t own one so be careful it’s very tough and can be a little dangerous so make sure to cut away from you!
After you’ve cut them they should look something like this!
then it’s just a matter of smoothing them out with sandpaper or a nailfile, making sure they’re even and putting them back together!
This was the finished result of this baby!
