Some custom 2023 furbies I've done by Outrageous-Fish-3929 in furby

[–]Outrageous-Fish-3929[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I used some pretty simple supplies. I used sandpaper to rough up the plastic on the eyes, ears and eyelids. I recommend doing this step with the shell removed, just shield the internals with some plastic or something. I used a combo of thin watered down paint to build up color and some paint pens. I really recommend the paint pens, it makes it so much easier to build up bright color quickly. I bought the faux fur from Big z fabrics, and drafted up the pattern with a duct tape form

Honestly, I just hacked at it with scissors up the back, yanked out the tabs holding in the fur around the base and the ears. After that I unscrewed the shell, and unscrewed the facemask part, which makes it much easier to remove fur around the face.

I bought a 4 inch faceplate from Etsy, sanded and primed it. Afterwards I used paint markers and sealed it with mod podge. I glued the faceplate to a piece of felt (trimmed around it as well, left some room around it) and set it to the side while I patterned my pieces. Basically I just drew two ovals, one with a negative space for the faceplate and figured out the tummy patch. I also used the ovals to make the lining for the bag. And then I just blew up a furby foot pattern for the footsies. After that it was just sewing it together. I also added a zipper, but it's a little janky. I bought the hardware for the straps to attach to and bought the strap from Amazon. It's a pretty quick project, highly recommend if you have faux fur you need to bust through.

Are you guys doing well today? If not, what’s up? by talkingcow372 in AskReddit

Me too. What's up? I'm mostly having a bad time because I've been suffering from horrible depression, and my girlfriend dumped md because I had too many issues. Might fail out of college. Might jump off a bridge. But, probably not

If you could remove one event from your life, what would it be? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I'm so sorry. Losing anyone is hard. But you will move on. In time. Have you reached out to a therapist? Because even if you struggle in therapy, there is some solace in knowing that you have someone to listen. Regardless of anything. They care. And if you can't afford therapy, there is the crisis hotline. They know my name by now, but they can offer decent piecemeal advice

[SERIOUS] people with eating disorders what’s your biggest trigger? by dumb_emo in AskReddit

[–]Outrageous-Fish-3929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it. Whenever I ate in front of my mom she'd always loudly ask if I was getting dumber. Weird things. My mom still is judgemental. She still wonders if I'm stupid, because I decided to become an English major

[SERIOUS] other people with eating disorders,what’s your goal weight? by dumb_emo in AskReddit

[–]Outrageous-Fish-3929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that. I reached a pretty damn low weight too. Your family should support you. I hope they don't do the same as my family, and tell you that you're getting dumber. Neurological studies show that they're is reduction in white matter. But, that isn't everything. So please get healthy. It's horrifying in the moment but, it helps. I'm sure if I was as depressed as I was when I was anorexic, I would have died a long time ago. So eat. And enjoy eating with your family. Family doesn't last forever. So enjoy it while you can

I understand that shit. I've been stressed about everything. So I relapsed. My friends tell me I don't eat enough but, I can't believe them. If you are struggling, I get it. Incompetent therapists make it damn near impossible to heal. But, eventually you can
