#JUMPSHARE FURBY MODELS SERIES#
There is a white wire attachment where you can simply pull the wire apart from the Furby.ĭepending on whether you have an older or newer Furby Boom! model, there will be either one or two screws and a series of plastic clasps that hold the fur down around the faceplate. I am not entirely sure what this wire does, but my best guess is it allows the Furby to “feel” if you are touching its stomach. Once you cut all the way around the base, begin peeling up the fur. *PLEASE NOTE IF YOU WANT TO MAINTAIN FUNCTION BE VERY CAREFUL TO NOT CUT WIRES DURING THIS STEP* That may seem like a no-brainer but it’s worth mentioning. (If you want to reuse the original feet make sure to neatly save them here). Take a sharp seam ripper or scissors and start cutting the fabric along the bottom of the Furby (under the feet).
(Well unless you are doing a simple longification, in that case, skip this step). So, the first thing you always want to do when longifying a Furby is skinning it. Seriously, if you want to attempt this project or ANY project with similar fabric, I cannot stress enough how much of a game-changer this was. When dealing with fabric with long hair, it is *SO* much easier, and less messy, to use a razor blade to gently cut the fabric from the back. *If you are doing a simple longification, cut the fur around the base of your Furby and only look at steps 2, 3, 5, 6, &7.* If any step needs more detail you will likely find what you are looking for in this tutorial. This longification process can really go two distinct ways, you can simply add fabric to the bottom of your Furby, or totally remake it. Then, I found it looks neatest to just cut the face hole larger while it is on the furb. I have found that it is easiest to adapt this pattern by cutting the fabric the same, sewing it the same, then try it on your furb. The pattern I have provided is for a 2012 Furby, which has a smaller faceplate.
The only real difference when longifying booms vs 2012s will be the shape of the fabric around the Furby's face. I decided to make this tutorial after noticing a distinct lack of long Furby tutorials for 2012 Furbys/ Furby Booms.
