Hey, I found a beanie boo that I liked the design of but I can't stand those giant uguu eyes. Do you think it would be possible to replace them with smaller safety eyes akin to the old beanie babies? If yes, do you have any advice?

I was gonna answer this in a normal way, but then I got curious about trying it for myself and thought I might as well demonstrate!

So, I went and picked up a guy from the supermarket. The selection there was pretty barren today but I found a decent test subject:

Eye replacement procedure below!

(First of all, to my friend who loves beanie boos, I am so sorry for this lmao)

So! First I opened up the closing seam on his back. However, I found an extra mesh barrier inside! Clearly this is to prevent bean escape since this is the most likely seam to accidentally pop open through play. This would be a bit annoying to work around so I just sewed it back up and went in the back of the head instead…

Opened and unstuffed the head…

…And turning it inside out to get to the backs of the eyes. Whoa, these plastic washers are the biggest I’ve ever seen!! Cutting through them will take some work!

Please be very careful of your fingers cutting through these!! Be careful not to cut the fabric around the eye too, but mostly be careful of yourself!

Anyway grrrrrrr attack attack slice slice grrrr

They’re out! With a little glue I think the washers would be able to hold on perfectly well again. I’ll keep these eyes to reuse on something where they’ll be a bit more proportional!

The washers on these eyes are particularly cup shaped, fitting around the back of the eye and holding the fabric tightly against them. Now that the eyes are removed, this has left imprints on the fur!

Plenty of brushing and rumfling will help to fix the creased and flattened areas of fur, and wetting the fur or gently steaming over a hot cup of water should help too. It might take a little time!

(Also, I did make a little cut in the cheek while removing a washer, oops! No worries, that can be stitched up.)

Now we can try on a few new eye styles! Restuff the head for now so you can see how they’ll look.

I have a few sizes of solid black, from teeny dots to absolute tbh creature…

These blue eyes were a little scary… no thanks!

I even have some glittery ones like the original, but smaller! Pretty nice actually!

And even some googly eyes hehehe!

But my favourite eyes were some basic 9mm black ones! They are placed a little funny here, but the position will change a little bit…

The holes left by the original eyes were very big, so a couple of stitches are needed on each one to tighten them up to fit the new eyes. I stitched the top outer corners, to move the holes down and inwards a bit. If you wanted, you could even sew them closed completely and make new eye holes elsewhere!

Unstuff again and pop those new eyes in!

Restuff! You might actually need to add a little extra stuffing, as the fabric not being so pulled around the eyes any more will mean it is a little ‘baggier’.

Then sew the head closed again and that’s about it! The fur is still a little creased around mine, but I’ll keep working at it and it should become less visible.

To add a tiny bit more shape to the big round head, I also did a touch of threadsculpting. I ran a thread from the corner of each eye to below the chin and back, just pulling the eyes in a tad more. You might decide you don’t need this!

And there we go! Hope you’ll try it yourself!

Happy to find a cute lil buddy at the new Goodwill that opened up, only to find a little surprise inside the the tag when I got home.

Someday she will tell her true name. For now, I only know for certain who she is not.

Alrighty! Here is my new sona- Beanie! Bean! Or Beanie-Boo!

Tbh I was inspired by both @help-im-a-gay-fish and the movie Elemental and wanted to create something similar!

It just started as a basic doodle but talking to gayfish inspired me to turn the doodle into my sona!

She is an energy/fire being and her ‘hair’ can very depending on her mood. If she’s angry or embarrassed her hair will rise up but if she’s upset or sad it will dim down.

I’m hoping to draw more of her in the new future

#my art #Jann art #jann-sona #bean-sona #bean #beanie #beanie boo #ah yes I forgot how much I hate drawing hands #my excuse is since she’d an energy being her hands or not a consistent shape lol #also I got lazy with the legs don’t come at me #but tbh I like how she turned out overall!#I really really love how her fire hair turned out!#feel free to draw her if you wish!

Frights is a 2015 Beanie Boo, not to be mistaken with the 2007 Halloweenie of the same name

Beanie Boos were released in 2009 following the discontinuation of Beanie Baby 2.0. Boos come in several sizes, as small as clip on hangers and as big as 16"+. As of 2023 Beanie Boos are effectively the default line with other lines taking inspiration from them eg. Beanie Bellies having the same eyes or Flippables using the Boo base but covered in sequins.

I don't have anything notable to say about Frights, he's just a nice guy.

Hi! I collect plushes and especially beanie boos. Do you have some in your beautiful collection to show?

Boos just aren't my thing I'm afraid! I have but one, and, well... I un-Boo'd his eyes. (Here's the post about how I did that, for those interested.)

I can share all of the beanie babies and buddies I currently have, though! I've had more in the past, but have gradually downsized to just keep faves!
