Hot Glue Faceplate Mold (with Pics!!)

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 :)
