For clarification, her full name is Princess Fantasia Delirium. This project was heavily inspired by the works of furbyfuzz on tumblr, Strange Aeons, and Somerset Sews.
I bought the spine for my Furby off of eBay. The listing is no longer active, but the spine is listed as a “1/4’ teddy bear armature,” and is 34 inches long.
EDIT: There were some flaws in my build, especially on the construction side. This build was incredibly fast, so I kind of threw construction to the wayside in the process. Here's some comments on what I would improve or change in the future:
1.) Attaching the armature. I attached the armature to the body of the Furby with hot glue, which did not stand up to the test of time. I would potentially secure your armature to the Furby by attaching it to a disc of material first (foam/cardboard/whatever) for an easier time, and/or attaching it with a more permanent adhesive (Barge or Contact Cement).
2.) Additionally, the armature at the bottom of the finished Long Furby was a little awkward. I would recommend adding a disc of craft foam or something similar to the bottom for reinforcement and for a cleaner look.
3.) The seams of the body (specifically in the seam in the middle of the body) did not last over time, either. If you are planning on getting use out of your Long Furby (ie. posing the Furby for photos or anything other than a display item) I highly recommend finishing or at least reinforcing your seams in some way, especially on faux fur fabric. I only used a straight stitch on a regular length for mine, but I would probably use a short length zig-zag stitch if I was making it today.

After a few weeks of this being uploaded, I've gotten a lot of questions about where to buy a spine. The eBay listing I bought the spine from is no longer active, but the spine was listed as a "1/4 ' teddy bear armature," with a length of about 34 inches. CR Crafts also sells many teddy bear spines by the foot for a decent price, or you can check the eBay seller "morezmore," who sells a variety of spines.
Thank you I was about to comment. Have been researching for a few weeks now. And happy to say I bought my furby this week. Just need a spine now.
Im asking for a furby for Christmas
Is the spine you're using the same as loc line tubing? Plz I must know ;_;
@@croissant1631 I'm not familiar with that kind of thing, sorry! from what I've browsed through, loc-line tubing seems to be a bit more expensive, and I'm not sure what it's made of. The armature I bought was made of PVC and completely solid, and while it seems very similar to loc tubing in appearance and its jointed nature, I can't be sure. If you're able to buy the tubing in person and compare the tubing with what I described of the armatures, I would recommend that.
@@mcmia k thank you ^_^
She's here
She's dear
She fills my mom with fear
your local goblin my mom is very against long furbies and hopes I will never make one

The perfect furby doesn't exi-
I love her, she's a long queen
Princess Delirium: ME BABY
Me: *through tears* yes................... yes you are
I was gonna get other things with my $125 but I am making a long furby now
Well.... Did you do it?
Anyone else come here from Strange Aeons?
Me
Yup
Nope
Yes
Yep
When I find a cheap Furby, imma make one
Jessinya I wouldn’t recommend using a regular Furby use a Furby buddy it’s so much easier
eBay
Go to some consignment sales and thrift shops. That’s where I found mine.
@@aimee5758 you can buy blank furby face plates for like 15.00
Gosh, yeah! Boomers on Ebay think that Furby's are worth $70+
This is good pure wholesome content and I am here for it.
Not to be dramatic but I would die for her
great, new craft project confirmed. now i just have to fetch my old (literally 20-year-old!!!) furbs from my home country which luckily i'm visiting in a week. even figured out where to get the spine-thingy (craft stores don't sell it there and ordering online is a bit risky while traveling, so hardware stores it is)
If you guys make one I suggest using a Furby buddy not a regular Furby
Yea so you don't need to replace the battery so much
i used a furby buddy
Yeah, but using 1998-1999 non-working Furby's is a good option too! It really depends on how much experience you have with working with the different kinds of Furbs.
Pippin true and also buying faceplates off of Etsy or other sites works well too. It’s all in what your willing to work with!
Thank you so much for making this video, I ordered everything and I’ve been trying to find a tutorial while I waited for everything to show up and I’m so glad I found this
Not a problem! If you have any questions mid-construction, I'm happy to help!
I made a long Furby in quarantine. I've officially lost my marbles.
She protecc
She attacc
But most importantly
she got a long bacc
Yess hahahahhahahha
I love this. This is truly art. I dont use the word love often. This is my favorite thing. Thank you
Very informative and awesome vid! That being said, I would be pleased with a 30 min video of just your cat reacting to the furby :p
I would die for her
I bought a ten foot spine.....
As it should be!!!! Make your long child!!
Happy Capy woah, where’d you get it? :0
HECC YES YOU BETTER DO THIS THING
SLAY
We need updates!!!
I have the exact same furby! I’m so excited to make it long
I saw a furby like this on a dating app and I hope he likes me back
*Mother, why do you cry?..*
Long 👏 and 👏 thicc
Omg this is unrelated but ur hair is very cute
Scares me how furbies have spines
I have a Furby in my basement I'm going to make one.
Love it! Thank you for this simple tutorial!
My cats like my furbys 🥰 btw your child is a very long girl 💗
where did you get the teddy bear spine from? i've been looking all over and can't seem to find any
This is the exact item I bought: www.ebay.com/itm/M00362-MOREZMORE-1-4-Jeton-Flexible-Ball-Socket-Armature-Kit-Doll-Bear-DWS/142773986257?hash=item213dfe23d1:g:sukAAOSwLjRa43o0 hope that helps!

INCREDIBLE
I am so tempted to sculpt a custom 6 eyed furby faceplate when my sculpy gets here and make a long boi. My family would hate it so he’d have to be a secret (agent) man.
It's so beautiful
Thanks so freaking much!!! I’m making one !!2! !!1! I can’t wait. No other tutorials explained enough or helped but this did plus it’s so much simpler and less overly complicated!!1! Thanks ✊😎🤚
The intro is the final boss when reaching heaven
You need more subs for this beauty-
awe this is so wholesome
Love her 💜
This is awesome
I have become fascinated with Long furbies and am working on making one of my own. I got a furby today on Ebay. She was $40 and broken so definitely a scam but it was worth it and my mom is paying for half so I am only paying $20 and expected to pay $25 so on my end it's pretty good.
Quality content
It's beautiful
Amazing brilliant beautiful
Anyone looking to do this in 2021 you might want to consider searching Etsy or similar for what they call a 'vegan' faceplate. ('vegan' as in no actual furby used, they are 3d printed plastics) Not only are they a whole lot cheaper (mine was like 8 bucks vs 30-50 for a vintage furby) but they are so much easier to work with. Also, they come in different sizes... I got one a bit bigger than a real furby for my 6-footish long boi.
Good old pennsylvania, all ways shipping out the weird shit
i'm pretty sure it's spelled pennsylvania
Thank you
@@waihstudios8828 no problem
Hey I live there.
Powdered Sugar did I stutter?
You can buy a brand new condition furby, still sealed in its original box, for $30, no stains or anything. Just go on eBay.
I would literally die for you and your furby
First of all you're adorable and I want to be your friend you look like you're genuinely one of the sweetest people
:-0
It be like that sometime
how do you actually replace the batteries since the furby babys bottom is technically sowed on to the body and you can't have real access to the battey cover
I'm not really sure what you mean. If you're referring to after I long-ified her, she doesn't have batteries in her. I didn't really enjoy how loud she was, and knew that I'd have to find a way of adding some mechanism to replace batteries if I kept them in, which would be needlessly difficult. To avoid both those problems, I just bypassed batteries.
@@mcmia oh ok
To be honest its actually very hard to make a mechanism for the long one to have replaceable batteries
a furby collector I mean. Zippers can be your best friend
@@troll5689 maybe a good idea ....
I'm making a long furby this week and I'm very excited but I'm using a furby boom, I have to paint the eyes myself and stuff, how to I sew it's new fur to its face since I no longer have a faceplate for it?
I need to make one
PLEASE HELP ME: where do I find one of those spines? I haven’t been able to find one... ;-;

Thank you ^^
I've been looking for a teddy bear spine and I could only find ones with limbs, do you know what I should search to find limb less ones, or do you know if I can detach them?
@@gracelessabomination9847 www.ebay.com/itm/M00362-MOREZMORE-1-4-Jeton-Flexible-Ball-Socket-Armature-Kit-Doll-Bear-DWS/142773986257?hash=item213dfe23d1:g:sukAAOSwLjRa43o0 this is the item I bought! It's just the spine, with some little things to attach limbs if needed. If you want to look deeper, I suggest searching "teddy bear armature," and seeing what pops up! Hope that helps!
@@mcmia
Thanks so much! Have a nice day :^)

How much fluff did the furby need? Like the inside filling stuff
Not a lot! I didn't use a lot of the big bag of stuffing I bought but it depends on the length.
Tip for others:you can make a long furby spine from cut up pool noodles and wire
what hot glue did you use to attach the spine? i tried it and it didn’t work
When I made mine I drilled 2 holes on the bottom. Then drilled some holes in the spine and attached the spine with zip ties ( through the holes). Hope this helps
@@whateveriwant8039 omg i never thought of that ty!!
@@KittyCatCocoPuff Ofc!
is there a way i can make a long furby out of the more modern ones? The vintage ones are expensive
I'm not sure if anyone has tried. The new furbies are differently shaped, and I believe they are made differently. A suggestion I've heard is to make a long furby out of a furby buddy, the smaller version that seems to be cheaper.
@@mcmia Yeah i looked into it and i think if i were to make one i'd definitely go with the furby buddy
You mentioned using a foam base? What does one look like and why wouldn't just stuffing work?
I ended up not using a foam base, this was simply speculation on my part when I was in the creation process.
@@mcmia oh good to know! Is it basically just stuffing then?
@@asloppyjoedonut9616 It's just polyfil and the spine!
i cant seem to find any reasonably priced furbies on amazon or ebay. do you have any recommendations on where to find one? thank you ^_^
I think the best place to buy furbies is on eBay, that's where I bought mine. The problem with eBay is how quickly listings expire, so I would recommend checking it periodically for new listings. Prices do tend to range from 10-30 dollars for buy-only listings, so I would recommend looking for auctions.
PeachyGale okay thank you!!
I recently purchased my furby at the thirft store for 2 bucks, they are hard to come by and they can be a little worn down but its worth it in my mind.
Go on eBay, search “furby 70-800”, then select price low to high, and select buy it now. You will find em for $30 like that, it’s been at that price for years on there, so there’s no waiting-for-prices-to-go-down foolery.
Dose anybody know any other alternatives for the spine? It'll cost like $30 (that's with shipping) for me to buy the spine (usd to cad is not very good).
Try the seller "morezmore" on ebay. Their spines are about $15 usd.
@@realitytvzombie that's the one I'm talking about F the shipping is what kills me

this is the one I'm using! I don't know if it's any better, but I think it has free international shipping?
I was looking on ebay and I only found the 1/8 spine can i still use that one for the furby
Brylee F You could, if you were simply looking for structure, not support. The perks of the 1/4” spine is its circumference, making it easy for me to stand her up and hold up the bulk of her weight. For a 1/8” spine, those seem to be a lot more lightweight, and wouldn’t stay up as easily.
@@mcmia ah then what sizing of the spine do you think would be best if i cant find any 1/4 spines
@@bryleef4076 I'd recommend looking for a 1/4" spine, honestly! Here's one site I found that has a variety of options: crscrafts.com/doll-supplies/fasteners-ds/armature-ds/plastic-ds.html
Does anyone know how to sew the body to the actual furb?
Hey! I have a few questions for you (or anyone in the comments who would want to answer). I'm making a long furby. I found an all black furby with white feet on eBay for $40, and I think it's perfect because I already have black and white fake fur. I am getting a 2 1/2 foot long spines from crs crafts for $10. My questions are:
- Is he too expensive? I can't find a cheaper one that's an old version, not a new furby
- Is the spine too long/too short? I don't have a lot of money, so I can't afford an extremely long one (as much as I want a long child)
- I was planning on painting his eyes like Yin Yang symbols and naming him Yin & Yang. Any other name/accessory suggestions? I don't love the name.
Hi! Thanks for the questions. I personally bought my Furby for $13. This may have been a chance for me, but most Furbies online go for about $30. I'd look around for some cheaper options unless you're deadset on that one. As for the spine, I'd say it's just a little short. My spine was around 32 inches. And for names, I think that's cute! As you make the Furby, I'd look for new names! My name came to me as I was creating Princess Delirium. Enjoy making your Furby!
@@mcmia thank you for replying! I've already chosen a whole new name (Little Sweetmeat, i know its weird lol) and I'm getting a longer spine. My spine will be 30 inches long! Also, for the furby, I need a black one. I need a black one because I already have black fur. So I will be getting the more expensive one (I just can't find any cheaper ones that are all black) but thank so much for ur advice!
Longer Furby
*L O N G F U R B Y*
Where can i buy the Spine?
I have 2 quick questions, sorry if u answered them in the video I might have missed it, but how much did the fur coast and how long is ur furb, also ur furby is beautiful
I bought 1/2 a yard of 60" wide fur fabric, which was around $30-35 a yard regularly, so I believe it cost me around $18. I believe Princess Delirium is around 38 inches tall.
@@mcmia thank you!
9:00
Did you glue or sew your furby's skin together?
Lol the furdy looks like it was wants to die
Welp, I know where my stimmy check's goin.
Can you do like updates and stuff? I would totally watch them
Can you elaborate on that? I'm not sure what you mean.
Hi sorry idk if you said this but is this a furby buddy, a ‘98 furby, a 2005 furby or a 2012
It's a 1998 Furby Baby!
I'm confused how you sew the furby to the body with the mechanism part there. How do you attach it to the furby?
This is a bit complicated to explain, please bear with me! On the bottom of the furby there is a zip tie held inside a channel of thin cotton, holding the fur to the inside mechanism. I separated the fur from the inner workings with a pair of scissors so that the bottom was independent, and then hand sewed the tube of fabric to that bottom edge. The separation process was meant to be a part of the video, but it was cut. Hope that helps!
@@mcmia Thank you!! Could you maybe do a more detailed video on how to make one? There isn't any proper tutorial on youtube. If you can of course.
@@mcmia sorry to ask a lot of questions but is this what you mean? www.kstilson.com/furby-dissection.html
@@niamhcara6228 You're fine! That's similar to what I did, I was unable to take the zip tie out so I just butchered the channel the zip tie was in. I'm considering making another in depth video of how to make one, since there's no real process of how to make one.
@@mcmia Thank you so much for your help! Please do that video it would help so much!!
Maybe that's a baby Furby? I'm not sure
can you do a tutorial on how to make a long furby with a furby boom
FEED HER
when you said they're 12.5 inches in diameter, did you mean circumference? or centimetres? because if you meant what you said, that one large boi.
If I may ask, what type of fabric did you use?
White fur fabric? I don't have the specific brand but I just found the fur that best matched the furby herself.
Thanks, I don't have a furby yet and was planning on buying the materials online, so I was wondering if you knew.
Long boye
What about *wide furby*
Is that the Joanns in portage or do they all look the same? 👀 if so, come teach me how to furby!
It's not, they must all look the same!
@@mcmia they probably do Haha. It just looked like the one we have in Kalamazoo. Sorry for my creeper moment !
I centi-peed myself
where did you buy the spine? :0 i can't seem to find what it's called or where to get it.. shes a queen btw
I bought mine on eBay, the proper term for it is "teddy bear armature spine"!
