🌟 1998 Furby Re-Lashing Guide 🌟

A visual step-by-step guide to my own process for giving 1998 Furbies lashes that retain the classic look. There may be other guides and methods out there, this is just my own way to do it!

MATERIALS NEEDED:

Detached Eyelids ( guide for removal: CLICK HERE )

13mm D-Curl Lash Extensions ( see photo )*

Mod Podge

Tacky Glue

X-Acto Knife

Small Paint Brush

Q-tip

Lightweight Paper

SHARP Scissors

Clean Water

Washcloth or Paper Towel

Optional, Ruler with cm/mm marks & Marker or Pen * 13mm will be closest to original length, I would not recommend anything longer than 15mm unless you want the lashes to really look insanely long.

I will put all of the steps under the readmore! 👇

Step 1:

Use the x-acto knife to gently peel up an eyelash foil strip, and be careful not to disturb the lashes. Go slowly and only handle the strip by the sticky foil. You will only need one strip for a pair of lashes!

Step 2:

Place the sticky strip on the lightweight paper, I put it close to the edge because it'll be easier to cut out later. Paint a thin layer of Mod Podge over the base of the lashes on the strip to secure them. This is an important step, there isn't much else keeping them in place, otherwise!

It's hard to wait, but let the glue dry before handling the strip again, I suggest a good 30 minutes or so.

Step 3:

Now that the glue has dried, cut out the paper around the strip and very carefully trim the foil and paper at the sides and underneath the curl of the lashes. Do this slowly, so you don't accidentally snip the lashes, you ONLY want to trim back the paper+foil. This will make them appear more flush with the eyelid when glued in.

Step 4:

Optionally, use a ruler to find the center of the strip and mark it with a marker, I used a Sharpie because it dries instantly. It's possible to eyeball this, but I like them to be as even as possible.

Snip the strip in half, very sharp scissors will prevent the foil from bending or warping. Again, be careful not to snip the lashes themselves! It's ok if you lose one or two in this process, as long as they still look relatively clean and even once split.

Step 5:

Apply a drop of tacky glue to the back of each eyelid and use the Q-tip to spread it in a thin, sticky layer. The eyelids have a little trench you can use as a guide for placement.

You can repeat this process if you wish with the top of the lash strip where it will be applied, as well, to make it stick better. I haven't tried this myself, yet.

Place the base of the lash strip over the tacky glue and press it into position, I use the backs of my thumb nails to hold them firmly while the glue sets. It make take some effort and patience to get them to stay in the curve, just try not to slide them around.

Step 6 (Final):

After the tacky glue has had some time to dry, I like to apply a final coat of Mod Podge over the paper and underside of the eyelids to seal and protect everything. Give this 30 minutes to an hour to fully dry before re-assembling your Furby!

✨ Voila! Fresh new eyelashes! ✨

They won't look exactly like the original, but close enough for me. I'm sure the process can be improved in some ways, so if you have any feedback please share it in comments or tags!

Good luck with your projects and thank you for reading! 🌟

Bean’s way to create an OwO beak.

So you may have seen my furbies like Pongo or Salem or even the fake furby Furbish which has a reverse owo. I hope you enjoy this tutorial and it helps you! If you have any other questions, please let me know! Also please excuse my bandaids I jabbed myself while sewing.

The tools that will be needed to complete the owo task include:

A sharp implement

An implement that can poke things out from tiny places

Something that has the ability to grab

A colored pencil

Sandpaper

and the furby beak of course!

Other tools like hot water, hair dryer, dust mask, and protective gloves are optional, but all safety precautions are suggested.

Here are the tools I used

You will need to begin by skinning the furby then removing its beak. Using your poking implement poke out the rod that holds the beak together.

After the rod is poked out, you are easily able to remove the top and lower beak as well as the tongue that easily pop out. Please place all these pieces in a place where you will not lose them. I try and lay them out in a way so that I remember how they will go back in. The top beak part is always the one with the hooks on the outermost sides.

Take the top beak and using your colored pencil ( a colored pencil easily rubs off when everything is done) draw a line down the middle of the beak and then from that line create a triangle for how big you want your owo mouth to be. Keeping in mind you will be sanding some later.

Before this step for ease of carving it may be helpful to place to the beak in hot water or to use a blowdryer on the warm setting to soften up to plastic to make it easier to cut. I use a boxcutter because it is a little safer and easier to control and grasp. Using your sharp implement and wearing gloves or having an adult do so for you, with sawing motions begin to cut your triangle out.

Using a method with heat makes this process go a little quicker and sometimes smoother. But using the sawing motion go deeper and remember to saw the edges of the beak where your triangle ends. I put a little pressure in the cuts as I go to see where the cut is on the other side.

Keep in mind these photos are positioned in a way to show whoever is using the tutorial on how it is done. It is best to use both hands at all times. You will make your way through the beak and be able to take out the rest with your gripping implement. You may need to twist a bit to have it release.

After this has been accomplished, using sandpaper round out the edges to how much you want the owo curved. It is also helpful to sand the cut edges and the top of the triangle as well to give it a softer look.

When all this is complete, you now have an owo mouth! Congrats! I am so proud of you! If you want, you can paint or decorate the beak as well. To put the beak back in it is best to put the bottom beak, then the tongue, then the top beak on the furby. Then lastly slide the rod back in!

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and I cannot wait to see all the cute creatures you create! Have fun and be safe! If you need any help, please let me know!
