everyone shut the fuck up and look at this snake named barcode
This is what furby hunting on eBay feels like
lately i've been thinking of making oddbodies since I got a sewing machine but getting faceplates from etsy or depop is not really accesible for me so I made a faeplate mold out of hot glue and thought it may be useful for someone out there :D
MATERIALS:
- glue sticks (I needed 2 for a mcdonald's keychain size faceplate)
-a pot
-water
-a furby
-paper tape
-flour, baby powder or anything you have to demold
STEPS:
~select the furby you want to replicate the face from.
~once you have your furby cover around its face with paper tape so the fur won't get stuck to the hot glue.
~cover the furby's face with something to make the demolding easier (I used flour because it's what I found)
~now, heat up water in the pot (it's not necessary to boil it) and melt the glue sticks there until they are maleable enough. I used this video as a guide
~once the glue is maleable (careful bc it's hot) cover the furby's face with it pressing enough for it to reach all the nooks and crevices.
-let it cool for a couple minutes
~take the mold out of the furby face and that's it.
now you have a mold to make vegan furby creations :))
I hope this is helpful and understandable (english is not my first language sorry for any mistake :C ) my asks are open if you have any questions :)
Here’s a furby buddy pattern! I modified @pocket-furbs super awesome pattern (you can find it right here!) there were a couple of minor errors in the pattern pieces (that were addressed in the post) so i thought i’d draw up my own thing with some slight edits!

oh my god.
I swear the people designing the 2005 furby battery compartment asked themselves, "How can I make inserting batteries the most nerve-wracking experience possible?"

FOOD
Find your nearest food bank or mission, for food
grocery stores with free samples, bakeries + stores with day-old bread
different fast food outlets have cheaper food and will generally let you hang out for a while.
some dollar stores carry food like cans of beans or fruit
SHELTER
Sleeping at beaches during the day is a good way to avoid suspicion and harassment
sleep with your bag strapped to you, so someone can’t steal it
Some churches offer short term residence
Find your nearest homeless shelter
Look for places that are open to the public
A large dumpster near a wall can often be moved so that flipping up the lids creates an angled shelter to stay dry
HYGIENE
A membership to the YMCA is usually only 10$, which has a shower, and sometimes laundry machines and lockers.
Public libraries have bathrooms you can use
Dollar stores carry low-end soaps and deodorant etc.
Wet wipes are all purpose and a life saver
Local beaches, go for a quick swim
Some truck stops have showers you can pay for
Staying clean is the best way to prevent disease, and potentially get a job to get back on your feet
Pack 7 pairs of socks/undies, 2 outfits, and one hooded rain jacket
OTHER
first aid kit
sunscreen
a travel alarm clock or watch
mylar emergency blanket
a backpack is a must
downgrade your cellphone to a pay as you go with top-up cards
