Right now a lot of people I want to commission for a partial either don't take commissions from minors or won't take commissions for some time so I'm thinking about making my own mini partial. The head is really the only part I'm stumped on so this is a big help!!

[@freckledcatcreations]

You are SO welcome!!! And yeah, it's not that they hate minors, it's just that a ton of minors go behind their parents back, and then the parents tell the maker to give the money back, even when the maker has already started work. There are still some makers who will work with minors though, like me! I've seen most people just ask for a copy of the parents ID , and have an email from the parent saying the commission is accepted or something. But yea! Anyway! Good luck on your head!!!!! Hope this is helpful! And be sure to check out my other tuts on foam carving / etc! :D

[@RetroCat969]

watching this makes me relize how much actual work it is to make a fursuit head. that's crazy.

the way you secure your stitching makes me feel dumb for how I've been doing it (aka just tying knots until the anxiety says I can stop). OTHERWISE AMAZING VIDEO. I mean I knew fursuits were very labor/skill intensive but i've never actually watched it get done before.

[@freckledcatcreations]

Oh gosh, yeah, All other sewing tuts just mention tying a big enough knot that it wont pop through the weave of the fabric... and im like.... with enough force, any knot can pull through. Why tie it like that, when you could have the thread hold onto ITSELF and not onto the fabric? I'm so happy you liked the video!! Hope you can translate some of this into your own crafts!

[@DrowSkinned]

Watching you shave the fur down is so satisfying. 🥺

[@freckledcatcreations]

good luck!!!!!

[@lozdogsimo1782]

Honestly try making ur own base. Although others bases are great, it works out alot cheaper to make ur own

[@alfieacreations]

Been using this video thrue out my whole fursuit making project and it's helped me so much! Big thank you for taking the time to make this! ❤

[@freckledcatcreations]

youre so so welcome!!

[@jay_puck]

Ur so underrated wth

[@pipersage]

I'd just like to say your tutorials have helped me so much- I just bought the the materials to make my fursuit, and I was so afraid of messing up, I had to look at some videos, and yours truly answered like all of my questions, thank you so much :)

[@freckledcatcreations]

that's so awesome! I'm so happy i could help you not feel as scared!!!!!

[@pipersage]

@@freckledcatcreations mhm mhm I have a good idea of all the things I’ve got to do now, so thank you :)

[@ella-vl4bj]

Thank you so much! I’m an extremely new fursuit maker and this just makes it all that easy.

[@freckledcatcreations]

You're so welcome!

[@TheIgnitionCollective]

Theres a funny amount of non furs who got reccomended this. N seeing the lovely responses from them is so nice

[@freckledcatcreations]

right, i agree!! it could have gotten way worse of a reaction but most people have just shown appreciation for all our effort XD it's like... EXTRA good praise when you get non furries impressed!

[@FrehleyFan3988]

I like how fluffy the neck is💖 :3

[@Happycatkn]

people who have enough patience to hand sew everything are absolute legends. I am just relying on my sewing machine for everything XD

[@freckledcatcreations]

ahaha seriously!!! i just cant sew the tiny pieces accurately in my sewing machine since the little curves shift. so i hand sew to make sure all the markings line up.

[@cyisdown1516]

when it's 1am and you're watching this even though you're not a furry: *hmmm interesting*

[@arcad3_n]

Finally someone showed me actual stitching techniques in detail!! Thank you so much, everyone uses Sewing Machines nowadays or simply cuts this step out or the techniques used aren't visible! TTvTT Great tutorial!

[@freckledcatcreations]

YESSSS I'm so happy you appreciate that!!!! I noticed not many people actually showed what stitches they used where. So happy you like it :3

[@channelmoved6918]

Dude way too many tutorials just say "Now see it together" and that's it

[@rosella6089]

Omggg thank you soooo much! I've been confused on head making for the longest time, this is the most helpful tutorial I've seen yet 💙💙

[@freckledcatcreations]

so happy it's a good tutorial! I spent a lot of effort trying to make it as comprehensive as possible :D

[@XxoEtherealDragons]

Tysm! For attaching the fur pieces together, I’m gonna use the ladder method! It stands out to me and is most easiest.

[@roseycake8536]

Thank you so much this taught me so much!! My mom laughs at me because I'm scared of needles but I love sewing lmao

[@freckledcatcreations]

I'm so glad it helped you!!!! Aah, i never poke myself with needles, but PINS are my weakness... always poke myself when I'm pinning stuff together with sewing pins!

[@roseycake8536]

@@freckledcatcreations Uhg I know the feeling xd I used to hang out with my grandma while she sewed and I would mess around with her pillow cushion..

[@camryncooper6206]

Thank you SO MUCH this cleared up the little details that I was unsure about. And really helped me understand the smaller tips and tricks. ^^

[@freckledcatcreations]

You are so welcome!!! i knew an in depth furring tut was needed so I tried my BEST to get like, every detail i could think!

[@klinistia1249]

13:06 loving the blockheads music in the background. Took me a while to figure out where I knew it from tho😂😂

[@freckledcatcreations]

Oh is that where haha? It was just one of the free ones X3

[@ZeroEggnog]

I really like how there is no sewing machine involved in the making of this head. I hand stitch everything, and the stitch demonstrations were very easy to follow. Yours is definitely my favorite Fursuit tutorial channel!

[@freckledcatcreations]

aw THANK YOU!!! yeah I still hand stitch my entire heads. With a strong hand stitch it will be very sturdy, no need for a machine! Mostly it just speeds the process up for the easy seams like on the neck, but I just do it all by hand because I enjoy hand sewing :3

[@backseatdrivrr]

OMG... This is the best tutorial I Have seen.. Thank You! ❤️

[@freckledcatcreations]

Wow, thank you! Glad it helped!!!

[@silvaroo]

Thank you so much for this tutorial!! I just finished making the foam base for my fursuit head; onto the furring!!

[@freckledcatcreations]

Glad I could help! good luck with furring!!! you got this

[@squishh7805]

Can you please link me the types of furs you used, or at least the stores? I’m sorry if this question gets asked a lot, I’m just looking for better quality fur to make paws and tails for my Etsy. Thank you in advance! P.S. thank you for the in-depth tutorial! I’m a minor and am currently still learning how to do these types of things ;0

[@freckledcatcreations]

Oh, that's a good idea actually. I'll work on adding that info to the description! But for a quick answer: you're looking for luxury shag, beaver, rabbit, or seal fur! they're all various lengths. "fox" fur is also usually fine, but it's thin, so you can't shave it down for a face. it's best for long parts. look at Howl Fabrics fur, Fursuitsupplies, BigZ Fabric, and Mendels !

[@lapislemon7441]

I use luxury shag faux fur

[@ja2mine]

Tysm! I’m adding this to my “fursuit making tutorials for later” playlist. :) this will really help!

[@freckledcatcreations]

so glad I could help!!! :D good luck when you eventually try them!

[@leaftiger12]

I know fursuits are complicated but dang, you have great skill! How long did it take you to learn all this?

[@freckledcatcreations]

I've been sewing regular clothing since 2013, making fursuits since 2018, and i'm STILL learning new / better techniques!! @w@

[@AlpineMutt]

This video is EXTREMELY helpful. I struggled to find easy to understand tutorials on lining the mouth. You explained and showed it perfectly and I’m so thankful for you that you’re making these videos. You’re helping me tremendously!!! 💕I also think that making a tutorial on the teeth and tongue would be amazing!

[@freckledcatcreations]

You're very welcome! So glad I showed enough for you!! Each time i record stuff im like, "did I get enough of it though? Could the video have been better?" some stuff is really hard to film though, and on this head especially since the brown fur is SO dark XD can't do much about that, but it really makes filming harder.

[@williamlux]

Me for the first 30 seconds: i dont need to do the taping part because my sona's head is one color (except inner ear, mouth, and head hair) Me after 2 minutes: ok i see why this is very useful

[@Tripletkayla]

this was honestly so helpful. i just finished the patterning process and didn't know how to flatten out the pieces, or good techniques for cutting out the fur. thanks so much!

[@freckledcatcreations]

You're so welcome!

[@crayonzii]

I made two suits already but furing still seems so hard

[@freckledcatcreations]

it seriously took me like 4 heads before i got over the nerves!

[@Tenkoshimura_Z]

I'm a young fur so I'll let my mom help me with the stich and glue ty so much

[@thevoyager87]

I've been getting these types of vids in my recommendations for a while now and I'm honestly pretty fascinated. The effort you guys put into these suits is amazing and they always end up looking great! Awesome vid _(I think im slowly becoming a furry though and that scares me lol)_

[@rodrickraccoon95]

u should lol

HEHEHE!!!! Well if you do want to join the fandom (no pressure!) then welcome!! And thank you so much for appreciating all the hard work that goes into these! I swear we really get so much hate but for the most part all of us are just wanting to be cute animals.

KZbin really put this in my recommendations at the right time. My mother bought me a head base for my birthday she’s going to help me put the fur on it

[@freckledcatcreations]

ooh good luck!!!

When your not a fury but here to see how it's made 👁👄👁

Lmao!!! Hope this satisfied your interest X3 have a great day!!

[@julebarnett21]

Furry* Sorry, I’m a nit-picker 😂

[@dankisdank365]

Same here 👁👄👁

[@OzziePawzies]

For thicker thread. make sure to get Thick upholstery thread. Works amazing!

[@freckledcatcreations]

I would suggest sewing most fur seams with regular polyester thread, because in the event of a rip, if the thread is too tough that means it's the fabric that rips a hole, and it's much harder to replace ripped fabric than it is to re sew a seam with ripped thread!!

[@mljudd123]

Me at 3 : 00 am.: * Sees a random fursuit making video. * "Pfffft! Sleep? What's that?" * Procedes to binge. * (I do this because I have insomnia anyways, so not watching videos would just be me, awake, and bored.)

[@GhostCore23]

Same xD

[@webs2395]

This really helps me because I want to make a fursuit or a FNaF cosplay, but there’s not really any good tutorials on how to make a FNaF cosplay. This really helps! I might use it for fursuit making in the future.

[@freckledcatcreations]

Aah good luck!! I love fnaf !!!! Working with fleece for a head (which is what most people use for fnaf suits) is a little different than working with fur, but a lot of the other stuff you can use in this video! For the fleece sometimes you might wanna ladder stitch more pieces together when theyre on the head. Since you want a tight fit with no wrinkles. Fleece will show the wrinkles very obviously so you wanna get really close to perfect!

Go to 23:46 and pause to see the cutie. Say “boop” if you saw it too 👀
