I made AL13N using and buddy pattern, though I shrunk it just a little bit! His faceplate is also made completely out of sculpey oven-bake clay, and painted with acrylics! I’m not the best at sewing, so his backside came out a little wonky, but I love him just the same! This little guy has just arrived on Earth to invade my home, and your dashboards! He’s got stars in his eyes, and love in his heart!

HEY THERE everyone say hello to… AL13N! (Alien)

If you need any more help please feel free to reach out again! ask anonymous furby ref i don't remember any of the tags i used for this blog rip long post Good luck with sewing your little friend! I sure hope this all made sense, it’s so hard for me to explain things like this. Neither my pattern nor daftfurby’s includes the 1/4″ seam allowance, so you have to add that before cutting out your fabric.Rather than the scale matching up to 1″, the 1″ gap on the pattern may need to match up to 1 1/4″ on a ruler, or 2″, or whatever you decide.

Of course, this means that if you want the pattern bigger, your scale would be different.I’m sure there’s a much easier way to do this but this method works for me! To avoid wasting paper by printing multiple times, what I do is paste the pattern into a word doc, and then insert a square shape that is 1″x1″ to measure alongside the scale on the pattern, and stretch the pattern image as necessary. “Scale to size” does indeed mean to match that scale until it measures to be 1″ with a ruler.you would still have to scale it on paper before printing, cutting it and using it.) it’s scaled to an adult furby, which might be a good reference for you. (side note: there’s also a 1998 furby pattern, found here.I personally don’t know exactly how much bigger it would have to be to be the same size as a 1998 furby or a furby baby but I’m certain it could be done! Yes, you can make it any size you want, very large or very small, or the size of a furby buddy! I’ve shrunk down the pattern myself and made some smaller babs just for fun, and it ended up being about ¾ the size of a furby buddy.Be sure to read the whole post before you start putting them together because there’s lots of tips and tricks in there!īut anyway, no matter which one you’ve printed out, the answers to your questions are the same: Each pattern has its own set of instructions on it, but daftfurby’s has slight sizing modifications and pictures of the construction process, which I think is much more useful in understanding how it all comes together. I made a pattern for furby buddy (found in this post), and it was modified and made into a more easy-to-understand pattern by the lovely daftfurby (which can be found in this post!). and once you peel apart those two halves of plastic the only way you can really reattach it to fabric is to glue it :/ i’m pretty sure i’ve also recently seen someone selling faceplates made out of resin, which is really cool and So Much Easier! no furby buddy dissection required!Īnyway, i hope this was helpful in some way! if you need pictures or a more clear explanation for anything, feel free to send me a direct message and i’ll get back to you asap :) Pinned Post ask anonymous i'm not really active on here anymore but ! i do pop my head in to answer questions i still love furbs and am always here to help tho it might take me a few days to get back to y'all.

it probably doesn’t look as pretty but… prying it apart is a lot harder than it looks lol.

Tbh for the furby buddy i would recommend cutting the fabric around the face, and using it to attach to the custom skin if you can.
#Custom furby boom how to#
i have a detailed answer for how to do that in this post right here! make sure you sew it so that the raw edge of the fabric is folded in toward the inside of the furby, as this gives them their cute puffy face and it looks a lot cleaner!įor a furby buddy, it’s a lot more complicated, and you have to be very careful - you can ruin your furby or hurt yourself if you get too impatient. if you rip those stitches out you can remove the plastic faceplate and then sew it into the… face hole of your new custom skin, pulling the thread through the pre-existing holes in the plastic. You didn’t specify what type of furby you’re trying to customize, so i’ll explain how you can do it for a 1998 furby and a furby buddy, since those are the two i have experience with (i have a custom boom but their faceplates are attached to their robot insides, so there is no real removal afaik)įor a 1998 furby, if you flip the skin inside out you should be able to see the stitching that holds the fabric to the faceplate.
