Tumbleweed (He/Him) Is Complete!

hot glue faceplate mold (with pics!!)

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 :)

I love you Garfield landline

How to carve eyelids!

I wanna preface this with I have no idea how to write tutorials so this isn't really a tutorial and more of a how i do it!!!

 But carving eyelids is pretty simple process! But actually cutting them can be a little tricky!

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!

happy holidays all. I won’t be silent about what i saw today, December 8 at 10:06am on I-74 West.

Happy (late) 23rd birthday to my very first Furby, Homefry!

What a silly little critter

What to do if you suddenly find yourself homeless

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

 sleeping bag

 travel kit of toothbrush, hair brush/comb, mirror

 swiss army knife

 can opener
