UR FURSUIT IS PRETTY!!
oh fancy seeing you here! ive been seing ur videos on my yt shorts lately
OMG HI MOON
HI MOON I LOVE UR VIDS!!!
oh hi moon!
I never really considered myself a furry in the past. I liked the idea of anthro characters and enjoy the art online, but I never had any real desire to make an OC or go to a con. I went to Comic Con last weekend to meet a friend irl for the first time ever, and he introduced me to a bunch of lovely people who happen to own fursuits. I was absolutely enthralled! I made fast friends with a few of them and they invited me to stay with them at their hotel, and join them for the third day of comic con, and even paid for my ticket because I could not afford it! I spent the first day being their Handler, and they decided not to wear their suits on the third day (they had full suits so it was really hot) but one of them was kind enough to let me wear her suit around for the day! that one weekend has made me absolutely obsessed with fursuits and conventions and stuff. I had SO MUCH FUN! I am actively looking into building my own suit because I certainly cannot afford to commission one, and your videos are AMAZING at assisting me in my endeavor. I have to learn all of this from scratch because I have zero experience or knowledge of tailoring, sewing, etc. I even made a fursona to showcase my newfound desire to express my feelings. Furries are amazing and I love you! thank you for being so unapolagetically wholesome. I will try to finish my head and handpaws so I can go with my new friends to MCFC in a few months. it will be my first furcon and I am so excited to finally join the rapidly expanding ranks of the furry fandom.
I'm so glad you're still helping new makers get started on the journey. I've used this method for years for several suits and don't have any intentions of changing it :P
Look how clean the damn floors are. Hats off. 🎩
I just bought tickets to a con for my 10yo, and they've just informed me that they don't want a "costume" style they want a fur suit and I panicked. I'm out of my depth here lol this tutorial has me feeling SO much better! Thank you so much! Now off to attempt to make a dog day fur suit for a 10year old 😅
Your other one was so helpful to me when I first started, im so happy you’re revising it so other people to start making fursuits in the future
THANK YOU. Commissioning one was so expensive, so a tutorial like this was really helpful.
Thank you so much for this, Skye! I’m making my first ever fursuit (it’s just the head, tail and paws) and I’m really excited to get started!
how did it go?
people should make a fursuit making class. and people can go there to make them!!
I agree
I’m so glad you redid this tutorial. Like Lyca said you helped me make my first suit way back in 2021. And now I make suits and sell them every so often.
You are the reason i want to make a fursuit! I plan on buying foam and make a fursuit so that i can have my sillies happy!
Her voice is so calming an relaxing! Thanks for this bucket-head base tutorial, I will surely use it by the time I make my fursuit
Thanks skye! This is my second attempt at making a fursuit head and this time its going a lot better.
I love how quick you speak and move, my adhd brain normally cant pay attention to tutorials lmao but yours are always great !!
Thank you when I followed your first tutorial i thought you were crazy when I was using 2 inch thick foam 😅
I’m making a Mangle (fnaf2) head hand puppet and this tutorial was perfect for my base!
Thanks to your tutorials I finally got to work on my fursuit! I'm nearly done already, only taping and furring now :D
Hey sky I’m just gonna say you are the one who helped me make my very first fur suit head thanks so so much for doing these toutorials
very nice tutorial! i’m planning to make a spring bonnie head and this will be a good place to start!❤
Tysm I will use this to make my first fursuit!! Thx❤❤
perfect timing!
this moment when you made bucked head 2 days ago from old tutorial and new tutorial shows up
thanks for updating this tutorial!
LETS GOOO I was just thinking abt how I would want to make my fursuit head!!!!! Perfect timing
the goat is back
Thank you! I just got foam and I'm currently making my first fursuit thanks to this tutorial!
Thanks this really helped me with my first fur suit ❤
Yippee!! I'll have to use this when I get the materials!!
i made such for a paper mask, years ago.
thanks
This helps so much with my bringbonnie mask, cheers ! 💛💜
You are so talented
You are a life saver Thank you.❤
YOOOO a new bucket head tutorial !!
i'm in the process of sorting out the tax file number and bank account stuff before i get my first job soon, when i get the job then i will start saving up for the materials so that i can use this tutorial to help me make a fursuit head. excited!
the fast forward talks are funny lol XD
I followed your old tutorial and used 1" foam for my first base back in 2021 and I think it still turned out great. Imma still improve from then by using denser foam and NOT stacking the muzzle horizontally 😅
Yay thank you skye!!
thank you! i'm making a cosplay for next halloween so this will be very helpful
This is so chaotic I love it 😭
Amazing
thank you so much for this tut i made a fursuit for me and my friend and we have been wearing them for few days now we love this tut
Now this is incredible to see. Well Done
yay new bucket head base tutorial!! :D
Thanks! Super clear and helpful!
Currently doing this! Thank you for the great tutorial! I cut the base width too short and ended up with it being too small for my head, thankfully I have sooo much foam, back at it again!
perfect timing
I'm a massive fan of you skye! I love your suits and your videos are amazing! they helped me make my first suit and second. I hope to meet you someday
Wow thanks this is help me in the making of fursuit im beginner of making fursuits
Your videos are very informative, thanks to you, my fursuit is great, great success.
I just made a bucket head from the previous tutorial video a couple days ago. I had to adjust the measurements up by an inch and a half to ensure it would fit.
So glad i found your channel! Working on my first foam fursona mask and this was so helpful! Also if anyone has any tips for fursona making please let me know i want to make sure i have lots of knowledge on fursona making before actually starting my mask.
Yayyyy! Right after I used your old one 😢
Minty(my fur suit) will be ready soon thanks to you!
Thank you so much for all of your tutorials. They helped me when i was a beginner make and still do!
Made a base from referencing your videos so now it's time to make another thankies
THANK YOUU
in the time it took me to finish my head you made a new bucket head dummy tutorial!! low and behold the reason i have to start a new head is because i felt like the inch wide foam was too thick and warped the head when i put it on :D at least now im for sure certain where everything went wrong haaha. :’)
Skye! You’re my fav fursuitmaker! I hope to commission you one day when I get enough money :)
Your fursona is adorable
Looked this up worried nothing would be out there bc it’s so basic, thank GOD it’s here
SKYE I LOVE YOUUU!!(/platonic) IM DOING MY FIRST FURSUIT HEAD COMMISION BC OF YOU THANK YOUUUU!!!!
Fun fact, (I learned this while messing with EVA foam and hot glue) apparently sweat makes it so that you can wipe it off easier, and it won't stick. Of course, be careful, and don't do this - I just happen to do this while getting into the flow of work. It also works if you're quick enough on wiping off the hot glue that's just been put down, but, again, don't do this.
Yaya I can't wait to use this video to make a bucket head
yoooo another one!
making my 2nd furson kass, tysm!
this is a great method for bucket heads and all but my go to method is what I call the 'royal crown' method. I measure from the very top of my head to the chin for the vertical measurement, then glue the piece into a tube like normal, then take two sides of the top and bring them together, make a mark at the bend, and draw that mark all the way around to use that as a guide for the next step which is to make a zigzag pattern all the way around, with each angle touching either that line or the edge of the tube, to make a crown. I usually do it so there's only 7 or 8 triangles to glue together on top. this method makes a way smoother top of the head I've found.
omg thank you for saying the error you made, although it's sad that i already followed the tut and have 2 inch foam but atleast i have money to get the 1 inch foam 😭😭😭
Hi does anyone know if it’s possible to make a suit with a moving jaw with this method? If not which method should I use?
I'm Planning to Make My First Foam Base Fursuit Head Soon And This Vid Will Deff Help Me Out :3 (Edit) IM DONE THE FULL HEAD AND PAWS EEEE ITS SO CUTE
I do have a question: Which other methods are there besides the bucket head?
Like for Kemono/other kinds of fursuits ect?
I’m pretty new to the furry community and I really wanted to make a fursuit but I didn’t know where to start, thanks for the tutorial!
On the mannequin head thing. Lincraft, $20(ish) Foam Mannequin heads, usually sold for wig styling. If you grab one with a noticeable deformity, they may even knock a dollar or 2 off the price at the register (do not attempt to damage one for a discount though, they are watching you at all times for that.)
Skye, can you do a tutorial for if the fursuit wearer has glasses?
I've always wanted a fursuit
Thank god! The first bucket head I made was from the first tut, and its completley like.. it dosnt fit at all, hope this will work better ;-;
I'm thinking of making a kinda kemono suit and then just normal cartoony suit:D i dont have foam yet, but ill have too force my parents upon it..
i know you didn't ask for this but you can find upholstery foam at joanns fabric :D
A NEW SKYE VIDEO I REPEAT A NEW SKYE VIDEO
Don’t have thin foam… time to cut my foam down aggressively 💀💀
Not making a fursuit, but this is very useful for the cosplay I AM making. (It’s very similar though! It’s a stylized cosplay of poob/party noob from regretevator.)
Update I never made it cause it turned out horribly, but I AM working on a skulldog now lol. Lmk if any of y’all would wanna see that cause the fur ships in a week or so
This is Rusty's corner in Dakotas account, I'm making a fursuit head!
Thank you so much ❤ my first fursuit is down to you. Also, how do you cut foam all the time?! My hands are ded 💀
Can you make like a full tutorial for the head part you put on the bucket head because I'm gonna have a hard time not knowing how to do that part 😅
Im gonna try make one sometime soon! Just gotta find the foam... is the foam you use just called high density 1cm foam?
I have a question just trying to educate myself so with the bucket head base can you make a fursuit head with a moving jaw?
I used my apolstry foam as a blanket while watching
Lol
hello I'm just getting started on fursuit making and was hoping to find out where you get your foam. I live in a little town and can't find a website or a physical store anywhere around for cm foam high density
Hey sky any tips im making 3 skulldogs
ok and WHAT DO YOU DO AFTER ALL OF THAT?
Does this work for kemono head bases too?
Omg wow I’m so early 😮😮😮
How would you size the head for people with glasses?
Does 10mm white work for 1cm thick?
Where do you get the maniqin head? (Sorry if I spelt it wrong)
Hi Sky! What is the best material for the inside of fur suit heads? (Aka the sweat protection 😂)
Not sure what Sky used, but I personally just use cooling spandex to line my heads
How do I do the eyes to the base?
Does it work with eva foam? Please tell me.
Do you use upholstery foam or EVA foam?
upholstery foam is what people usually use for this, just make sure its clean. some people also use EVA foam
hiya! was skye a bucket head or another?
Wouldn't leaving the triangles in the top open make it less hot? As in, not filling in the triangle holes after gluing on the 'x' shape to the top of the head?
I left these triangle holes open when I did mine and found when I got to my ears I needed to cover them somewhat, then when I got to furring, not having support there can give a derpy appearance, so the holes got nearly completely filled by the end.
