How to make Velcro Fursuit Eyelids
Vložit

- I wanted to try out the velcro method for removable eyelids, so I thought I'd film the process! If you can't get your hands on good magnets, velcro is also cheap and found basically anywhere like Walmart, even Dollar Tree.
This also is the method to use if you're wanting to add eyelids to an already finished fursuit head - that doesn't already have magnets in the head foam. :)
Comment if you have questions or suggestions for more tutorials!

Pause looking at the eyelids, take a moment to admire those beautiful maws!
Oh yeah i love this one's mouth a lot, the tongue looks so plush and i wish i was tiny and could sit on it! LOL
@@freckledcatcreations same here, furry fren.
As someone who watches skyehigh’s tutorials, I find that she can be a bit unapproachable (I’m not saying she’s bad or anything) but you have easy to read subtitles and happy music! Thankyou! New subscriber
oh wow!!! Thank you so much for the compliment!! So happy you like my stuff!! :D
Damn you really had to put someone down to compliment someone else huh
@@zacharywood9416 yeah future me has realised I was an asshat
This was such a great tutorial for me, I struggled with magnets for a while and this has helped me, thank you very much! Hope you have a great day/night
Oh YAY I am so so glad it helped you!!! Yeah, I want everyone to see there's other options than magnets!!! :3
The music: plays here
Me: i thought this was mugiwaraCosplay
Lol! Hopefully I'm just as helpful as she is :3 Trying to make videos that are sorely needed!
Ahhh this is great!! I didn't really want to do magnets and this is a great alternative! Thanks so much for the tutorial!
You're SO welcome!!!!! I'm so glad you like it!! :3
Thank you!! I want one of my fursuit heads to have eyelids but I don't have and don't find those type of magnets so this helped a lot
I'm so glad!
This isn’t da bread store doe, nice eyelids 😳😳😳😳 kinda epic doe 😳🥺
hehehehe XD
Freckled Cat Creations it do not MATTER
This helped me so much! I didn't want to use magnets because I was worried if I messed up my fursuit would look funky, thank you for this tutorial:)
You're so welcome!! I also find that if you leave the magnetic feature stuck to the head too long, it deforms the fur / makes a permanent indent and it kind of looks unsightly LOL. velcro is the way to go!!!
very helpful tutorial!
1:00 was the most unsatisfying shaving clip ive seen tho lol
You're videos are really easy to follow along to ^^ The head you're making the eyebrows for is really cute and well done, too!
Thank you SOOO much!!!!! I'm having so much fun making him! And I love making tutorials and teaching people !
U mean eyelids.
Omg. You're a blessing. I've learned so much from your channel :)
That's GREAT to hear!!! Thank you!!!! :D
@@freckledcatcreations You're welcome! I have about 15 + years of sewing experience and I still find new things to learn. I really appreciate you putting your skills out there as teeth were a bit of a struggle for me. I was worried about a clean appearance but this is very helpful. :)
Thanks! I couldn't get strong enough magnets so this helps me a lot since I got some velcro dots from Dollarama
Glad I could help!
This is just what I needed. Thank you!
Ill definitely be doing this with my suit im making if i have some extra fur!!
Thank you this was a very helpful tutorial
Glad it was helpful!
Hey, thanks so much for making the content you do. i got into fursuit making recently and i consume the shit out of your videos but I never really made a comment about it so I guess I should thank you now than never lol
you're so sweet for commenting thank you!!!
@@freckledcatcreations Of course have a lovely day, i've been demotivated recently from making them because they're "bad" fursuits even tho i enjoy it so its stressful to me now ;_;
@@nicoletine you'll get better with more practice!! it does take patience to get through the early stages though!
The furrys have got some serious skill
What brand of clippers do you use? The ones I have often leave the fur looking choppy and uneven, unless you have an incredibly steady hand :( Great tutorial btw! Was really helpful :)
Thank you! I've mentioned it in the videos where I'm shown shaving fur, but I use an Andis AGC 2 speed. a bit pricier but i know it's good quality :3
@@freckledcatcreations Ah okay thank you :) I'll definitely consider making that investment in the future once ive sold a few premades ^^
This is so helpfull thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Sorry I haven’t been on in a while ;(, but gosh I love your suits- I may cmmison you soon! But I still love everything you do
Aaaah thank you so much!!!!!
Could you please make a kemono suit one day?
Omg thank you ^^! I use this ! I always dreamed gow to make fursuit eyelids without magnets ...UwU
wait a minute how does the velcro stick to the furry fabric
felt sticks to velcro! and the eyelash line is felt.
@@freckledcatcreations ok :)
How many fur suits have you made bc they all amazing
lets see, my personal one, then Ruxia, then Tusker, then Kris, Manakir, Hudson, Queso, and now Jasper. so 8 total!
@@freckledcatcreations wow that’s a lot!😁
Why, immediately, does my chest hurt? I think I love this too much lmao-- (maybe it's just cause it's a suit) but it sure made me more confident abt Akiro 2.0!
aw haha!!! thanks so much! I love how he came out X3 good luck on Akiro v2 !
does the velcro ruin the felt at all? i feel like the velcro hooks would start ripping the felt after switching the eyelids around enough times Dx
You know, I did have that thought, and with enough use, it might make the felt extra fuzzy. But I have an idea, possibly taking a felting needle and felting the fibers back in might work? or maybe wet felting (wetting the felt and then rubbing it a lot to tangle the fibers back into it). Though I see many makers doing velcro eyelids , and nobody ever mentions this problem, so either it happens and people don't care, or it doesn't happen...
@@freckledcatcreations Hmm i guess ill just have to test it out myself to see then haha, thanks for the reply
Where do u find that kind of craft felt? It looks strong but not fuzzy. With covid it's a lot harder to come by these materials in my situation. Love your suits and tutorials, they really help!!
So glad they help! It's stiff craft felt actually! It's in the same section as the regular felt sheets, Joanns has em, hobby lobby will too. dunno the exact thickness but it's much sturdier than regular felt !
@@freckledcatcreations thank you! Magnets just dont work well with my suits and this method seems to work better!
Can you do this with 3D follow me eyes??
You should be able to! The deal is where you put your eyelashes. If the eyelashes on the eye are flat on the head, then the velcro should be able to stick well! (but if you just do an inside ring of felt to cover the raw fur edge, then it might not stick as well. hope this explains it!)
I haven’t fully finished it yet but what I am doing with mine is that I am following an eye tutorial which puts a large ring of black foam around the follow me eye to make the effect more prominent. I am then glueing and wrapping felt around that ring to make a harder more stable eye plus making it able to have a Velcro eyelid. Let me link you the video.

Here is the eye tutorial
Does this method fuzz the felt over time? Debating if i should do this method or the tiny magnets
It would over time, but felt is just tangled-together wool fibers, and they got that way by "wet felting" which is getting it wet and rubbing it all over until the fibers tangle together! I assume you can do some of that to un-fuzz the eyeliner, no problem :3c a bunch of other makers do velcro eyelids like this too, and nobody's mentioned a problem, so I assume there is none!
A thing to remember about magnets is that they will attract your shaver when youre shaving, so be careful to not shave too close / get stuck, and also it's always hard to place the magnets PERFECTLY so the eyelids line up with each other exactly!
If you want to do this you might consider, that the velcro may damage the stuff that it's sticking to over time, especially when you remove and put it back on many times. I don't know that for sure but I know for sure, that velcro can definitely sometimes damage fabric
I think it would damage the felt about the same as using the soft velcro side! and you'd need to replace the velcro at the same rate as the felt. I think you can't really get around it. I know other makers use this too.
@@freckledcatcreations but I mean if you use magnets instead of velcro it won't damage it I guess
And you can definitely use this technique, but that's just somesting you should keep in mind
@@Meow_dasKatze ive actually heard the fur being deformed over time from the pressure of the magnets actually! also I know if I ran the shaver over the head in my final shaves it woul djust stick to the magnets and have a hard time shaving evenly.
@@Meow_dasKatze yea obvs, i definitely thought of that.
Is youtube drunk? It shows that im the only one who liked the video
can i do this with eyebrows
YES you can!!!! I see no reason it wouldn't work. Just make sure the velcro has some stuff it can stick to. It won't stick to the fur. (magnets instead of velcro might work better for moving eyebrows)
What material do you use for the eye whites?
polystyrene plastic! check my corresponding 2d eye tutorial for info and links for the eyes specifically!
Bruh might commission to you
Aw thanks!!! I'm closed right now but keep an eye on my twitter and instagram and i'll announce when i'll open again :3
Why don't u do ur patterns from the bottom of the fur, ur wasting so much fur there
i'm not wasting so much fur, that's a little piece there. silly. but if you're shaving fur, you need a bit to hang onto at the bottom, you cant shave right up next to the edge. thirdly, who said I didn't use this scrap in other projects? you don't know what I used it for. *raises eyebrows*
