A little note I wanted to add about sharpies !! Certain colours will bleed through while others will be fine, so always check first :3

exactly. When i made my first set of paws i wrote L and R so i could differ them. Well long story short the backing of the fur was way to thin and it bled through the fur easily

So true, I used a blue sharpies and washed my suit one day after a con and all the sharpie bled through and onto the fur! (The fur was white :[ )

Yes! Metallic sharpies are great as they won't bleed when washed.

How about using chalk, would that be a sufficient alternative?

Update on the head?
Making paws as a commission and man so many mistakes it's torture but the final result is always worth it my last commission I accidentally sewed two front and back pieces together 😂😂 thankfully the buyer said it was fine as it didn't make too much of a difference

another thing i would add is hot gluing your seams. I did this with my first dinomask partial, went to refurbish it, and i had to fully remake everything because all the fur was ruined from the hot glue. If anyone watching this hot glues seams, i would recommend learning hand sewing or getting a sewing machine it will save you so much time if you decide to refurb your suit. Im working on a different dinomask partial right now and its turing out way better then my first suit

sewing is flat out a useful life skill, and opens a lot of doors in terms of being able to make and modify clothing to suit your wants and needs. And that practice with clothing/fur will loop back and help you with the other as well

yeah, on my first dinomask i literally just glued all the fur pieces onto the ears
As someone who would like to make my own fur suit one day, this is a very helpful video
My first head I started in 2016, I only had really thick foam and ended up cutting sheets in half to get the right thickness- I came back to years later and it was unfinished so I decided to make another after getting the right foam and it's going great
Thanks so much for sharing your advice and experience. Definitely helpful
These were great tips! Getting ready to attempt making my own head soon! Thanks friend!

i wanna get into making but it seems really hard haha. great video man i def subbed. wanna talk to you in the future if i ever start dipping my toes into fursuit making
I don’t even make fur suits but this makes sense
Yea im making my first dinomask fursuit and i have messed up a bit but i find ways for a solution When i was trying to make the ears, i accidently glued the foam to the wrong side of the other piece but i just tore it off, peeled some excess glue off and then fixed it

Just because you make/have anthro animal ocs doesn’t mean that you’re a furry
great videos! -Something i should do is get back into doing Tutorial video streams, or begin doing tutorial videos for my YT channel. After 16+ years building fursuits as a profession & income, maybe creating tutorials on various fursuit techniques is something i may look into doing while building current commissioned suits. (following your page too now.
Also, not know where patterns go, or not flipping your patterns is pain
I’m currently working on my own suit. It’s a Dino mask one but I’m making the ears out of foam and tails. I might ask my best friend for some help because they made their fursuit before me!
Tip for sharpies! Use a silver one! It shows up on all black and dark fur too!

i have made 3 fursuit heads and i can say i have made almost all of these mistakes (and that's not even counting the other heads i restarted) double,even triple check your work if u have to bc making a mistake with fur is very costly, trust me i've done it enough times to know
Is it alright that I used black sharpie on my foam
I think I accidentally used too much hot glue for my foam base and now it feels a bit stiff when I try it on, especially in the cheek sections. Is there a way to fix that or are fursuit heads supposed to feel stiff from glue?
@everestjelly8982
Жыл бұрын
Suit head bases should be very plush and squishy, they are usually extremely light and you can completely squish it without really feeling any glue. If it’s not flexible like this, then you definitely added too much. In the end it shouldn’t make too much of a difference in the final suit. If you line it it should still be comfortable. People use solid bases from 3D printing or resin, so it shouldn’t be a big deal

Depends, But it never hurts to start developing skills. If you make a fursuit, and it no longer fits, you'd at least have experience that allow you to remake it in the future. So I say, go for it! -🦝

I’m also younger, and my body hasn’t fully developed yet, if I were you I wouldn’t put the time, money, and materials into a full-body fursuit, instead you can make a parcel, head, or even just paws, and or feet

I would say yes, just make parts on the inside removable so when you get older they can fit your bigger head
My sona is so unusual that I might just focus on tail and wings.

I appreciate the fursuit making tips, but the thumbnail of this video was literally clickbait. Correct me if I'm wrong but not once did you mention anything about hot glue or anything related to what's going on in the thumbnail.
