Bean’s Way To Create An OwO Beak.

Bean’s way to create an OwO beak.

So you may have seen my furbies like Pongo or Salem or even the fake furby Furbish which has a reverse owo. I hope you enjoy this tutorial and it helps you! If you have any other questions, please let me know! Also please excuse my bandaids I jabbed myself while sewing.

The tools that will be needed to complete the owo task include:

A sharp implement

An implement that can poke things out from tiny places

Something that has the ability to grab

A colored pencil

Sandpaper

and the furby beak of course!

Other tools like hot water, hair dryer, dust mask, and protective gloves are optional, but all safety precautions are suggested.

Here are the tools I used

You will need to begin by skinning the furby then removing its beak. Using your poking implement poke out the rod that holds the beak together.

After the rod is poked out, you are easily able to remove the top and lower beak as well as the tongue that easily pop out. Please place all these pieces in a place where you will not lose them. I try and lay them out in a way so that I remember how they will go back in. The top beak part is always the one with the hooks on the outermost sides.

Take the top beak and using your colored pencil ( a colored pencil easily rubs off when everything is done) draw a line down the middle of the beak and then from that line create a triangle for how big you want your owo mouth to be. Keeping in mind you will be sanding some later.

Before this step for ease of carving it may be helpful to place to the beak in hot water or to use a blowdryer on the warm setting to soften up to plastic to make it easier to cut. I use a boxcutter because it is a little safer and easier to control and grasp. Using your sharp implement and wearing gloves or having an adult do so for you, with sawing motions begin to cut your triangle out.

Using a method with heat makes this process go a little quicker and sometimes smoother. But using the sawing motion go deeper and remember to saw the edges of the beak where your triangle ends. I put a little pressure in the cuts as I go to see where the cut is on the other side.

Keep in mind these photos are positioned in a way to show whoever is using the tutorial on how it is done. It is best to use both hands at all times. You will make your way through the beak and be able to take out the rest with your gripping implement.  You may need to twist a bit to have it release.

After this has been accomplished, using sandpaper round out the edges to how much you want the owo curved. It is also helpful to sand the cut edges and the top of the triangle as well to give it a softer look.

When all this is complete, you now have an owo mouth! Congrats! I am so proud of you! If you want, you can paint or decorate the beak as well. To put the beak back in it is best to put the bottom beak, then the tongue, then the top beak on the furby. Then lastly slide the rod back in!

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and I cannot wait to see all the cute creatures you create! Have fun and be safe! If you need any help, please let me know!
