I used a dog toy for the octopus. I had to take out a squeaker and some crinkle plastic, and then I stuffed the legs. After all that, I attached the face with gorilla glue. For the long furby, I used faux fur fabrics and an original 1998 furby face. He also has a bendable spine, which I personally love. I plan on making a lot more!
It depends, usually if I cut a hole it’s because the existing face is larger than the furby face. And when I do cut out the faces, I’ll give it a mane, too.
Also to clarify, with the long furby the face is sewn in. The face itself actually has holes for attaching it.
