A little note I wanted to add about sharpies !! Certain colours will bleed through while others will be fine, so always check first :3
that's a good advice!
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?
I’m about to make my first head ! The furring is what scares me the most but I’ve been doing a lot of research to help , even tho I know the first will always be flawed. Def appreciate the videos
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
oh man it's SO bad! Glad you're paws turned out great
@@WafflesDoesArt the frustration is real! My friend was laughing when I brought my laptop to college class covered in fur 😂😂
@@WafflesDoesArt these are the best comments that i have ever seen on a youtube short 😂
Uwu
as a furry from the 90s who has built fursuits. Yes.
Amazing
Bruh the 90s so that’s we’re all those big foot sighting were from just the first furrys.
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
As someone who would like to make my own fur suit one day, this is a very helpful video
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
Mistake 6: Using spring locks
wait that’s actually funny
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!
excited to see what you make!
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 needed this I’m getting upholdery foam for my first ever fur suit :3
Thanks for posting this video, it was super interesting, and I'm not even a fursuit maker !
I am making a fursuit right now im almost at the furring part what colors fur did you get because i am searching for those exact colors but cant find them anywhere. Really enjoyed the video :)
I ♥️ furrys
same
Furries**
I'm not a furry but i have a lot of oc's that are furries.. Am i... a furry? Anyway making a furry suit is very intriguing and interesting lol
Some people that own fursuits aren't even furries. Lol its fine if ur not one even with furry characters
It depends on you! Do you want to identify as a furry?
You don’t have to be one, but there’s nothing wrong with it! I hope you discover your place on the furry-not furry spectrum!
Just because you make/have anthro animal ocs doesn’t mean that you’re a furry
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!
To all the people commenting hate, your just going to end up with more furry content on your page and your helping this video get more attention, if you don't like it, don't click on the video
true
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
Tip for sharpies! Use a silver one! It shows up on all black and dark fur too!
PUT THE FURSUIT IN A BATH WITH SLIVER AND BLACK SHARPIES! WORKS EVERY TIME!
Could you make a video on ways to get into the furry community as I'd love to become a furry but not sure on the best ways/places to make freinds.
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?
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
You can try to trim the inside cheeks if your carful
One mistake I made with my dinomask ears is I didn’t sew the pieces together lol-
At 1:32 was the typo with "double" intentional to prove a point or was it just accidental lol
I'm just really bad at spelling lol
@@WafflesDoesArt me too lol no worries!!
Wait.... What do you mean you sewed the toes backwards? As a maker they look fine to me? I'm confused
I posted photos of the fixed version, understandable confusion!
I see
My sona is so unusual that I might just focus on tail and wings.
i have a question too, would it be dumb to make a fursuit at a young age ? while growing up it may end smol…so i wonder is i should continue making fursona and waiting for my growth to slow down a little…
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!

@@yugiohTeamNWO ty for the advice ❤️
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
i just realized.... u can separate the blade of a box cutter!?!?!
UwU thanks… 😂
I absolutely love your background very plain no political or sexual statements very family friendly. ❤❤❤
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.
Can jou make a Furry outfit for me ?
Not how it works.
Im 11 yo and im makibg my first fursuit!
(Dw i have savant syndrom in art so im rlly gifted)
Im buying a 3d base bc i live in the vatican and they do not have foam so urah
