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:
Tumblr media
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…
Tumblr media
Opened and unstuffed the head…
Tumblr media
…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!
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
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!
Tumblr media
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.)
Tumblr media
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…
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
These blue eyes were a little scary… no thanks!
Tumblr media
I even have some glittery ones like the original, but smaller! Pretty nice actually!
Tumblr media
And even some googly eyes hehehe!
Tumblr media
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…
Tumblr media
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!
Tumblr media
Unstuff again and pop those new eyes in!
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
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!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And there we go! Hope you’ll try it yourself!

Wasn't a fan of the Beanie Boo axolotl's design, so I modified it a fair bit! Made it more accurate to the real life guy

This is a really silly project of mine but the eye swap tutorial from @thylacines-toybox gave me the idea to do an eye swap AND a wing swap to try making an angel bunny!! This was dead easy but unfortunately i cannot say the same for the other wing swap I attempted (sorry Herald).
She came out a little overstuffed somehow but otherwise im pleased with the results 🐇😇

At long last, my giant doll customization project is complete!
I have successfully transmuted three innocent Sylvanian Families figures into @kwillow and I’s evil animal nobility. Hyden (rabbit wizard) is mine, Theo (dapper rat) and Ambroys (foppish unicorn) are hers.
This was intended to be a one-off project, but making these is addictive. I may already be gathering supplies for the next batch of characters...

Magenta Sparkle Moon Heart got an essential sparkledog upgrade: angel and devil wings!
I was originally going to make her wings as a wearable harness type thing, but decided to just sew them on instead. She also got a few new accessories!

The Mechanisms’ mechanisms work differently in regards to how and how fast they come back.
Jonny’s is based on what makes sense the most for the story whether its coming back instantly for Sleeping Beauty or taking a whole hour or two at Gender Rebels so the others can do a show without him.
For Marius, I got the idea from a fanfic that he comes back when its the most comedic
Nastya and Ivy always come back after a specific, reasonable amount of time, Raphaella is similar, but various other factors can make it shorter or longer, giving her more things to experiment with.
Ashes comes back when you least expect it (only applies to mortals since the mechs always expect it)
Brian comes back when he is needed, and Toy Solider comes back when you tell it to.
oh!! this makes jonny's "our mechanisms rely on The Narrative" and nastya's "no tf they don't" both correct
