How To Make A Fursuit | Beginner Tips

[@WafflesDoesArt]

Secret 6th tip, when in doubt add more hot glue 🫡

[@Sp3ctralI]

Just like how school taught us

[@Anonthereal]

Indeed

[@trinitytheprotogen3916]

truth

[@AbunchOfRandomArt]

That is how I do everything in life.

[@SprootEntertainment]

Can confirm, this is correct

[@tatterpixie]

one thing I use for project management on fursuits? Trello! you can break down your tasks and make a checklist so you can check things off and organize them as you finish them. really satisfying, and really visual for showing your progress!

[@VanillaCookieCat]

Trello is great!

during the time I made my first fur suit. When I saw a gap in-between pieces of foam, I just filled it in with hot glue since it was more convenient. Don't do this since the foam base will be hard in certain places. I don't know if other people experienced this though.

[@meowwaffles6040]

Yes. I learned quickly that hotglue should stay only on the inside

[@Creative_Marten]

you should go for mechanical fursuit making! whatever its cables or servos, making a fursuit that changes expression would be neat! I am legit thinking of making a mechanical fursuit as I find the fursuits with one expression to look scary. because they look like they died while having that one expression! so I hope to make a mechanical fursuits one day!

[@CartoonCat.And.Deadpool]

You can also use crayons OR oil pastels for patterns! Plus theyre save to use and wont stain

[@LeynaLhuff]

Thank you for this. I'm making my first (serious) attempt at a head, and appreciate you sharing your experience!

[@Ziixt]

thank you so much for making this video! your personality is so uplifting and i'm definitely gonna attempt my first fursuit later this year!!!

[@tvrijkom4402]

Im making a protogen suit and following your videos its very fun and informative! Love your video’s ❤❤

[@BigZFabric]

This was a great video for us to digest. You did great (we're subscribed and liked btw). Great tips and insight.

I made 2 furheads with papermache already and started making third one! I love experimenting with diferent art styles and techniques + looking for ways to make suit cheaper and faster without losing much quality. Like that the second suit (head, tail, wings) was made just in 10 days! I used felt instead of fur to see if it works, and it gave very nice grafic look to it. The next head i want to try with fleece, since its cheaper than fur as well as felt and has similar graphic vibe I'm looking for

[@-RAVENdrawsalot]

I admire people who do this. Wow this is incredible! well done there :D

[@timeywimeybrony]

Yay! Thank you!! I've been looks for a good one I'll watch the full thing tonight

[@trinitytheprotogen3916]

Man I do love your videos, your community is awesome, keep up the good work!

[@echoless3474]

Aw but i really wanted to make my first fursuit be a sparkle dog:(

[@O_jeezz]

U can totally still go for it! Just take it slow and use lots of references given their complex design.

[@Rue2love]

[@agentcaninemutt]

me personally a 3d printer i saved a chunk of my savings for the base of the head then used a sowing machine to sow together the sides

[@wulfoss]

[@dergtreb]

[@nuklyex2]

[@Something_CringeYT]

3:47 look at the like button did anyone else see that?!

[@DashMalone]

Do you use the box cutter instead of scissors to avoid trimming the fur accidentally in the cut?

[@WafflesDoesArt]

yes, using the box cutter you can cut just the backing and not the fur

[@Ghostie..furrrz]

Y'ello! I have been wanting to commission U for awhile but can't figure out how, how much would a head/mini partial be?? Ty❤❤

[@WafflesDoesArt]

I don't do commissions, sorry! Good luck on your fursuit

[@user-sv3nk7cq6o]

what foam is used for this? :)

[@WafflesDoesArt]

EVA and upholstery foam!
