How to Make Custom Hats for your Fursuit

Obviously I can't go into details on other hat types in this, but I thought this would be a great starting point if anyone else was wanting to make a hat!
In the future I know I'll be making a baseball cap so I will absolutely film that for a follow up tutorial / part 2 to this! :D

You're criminally underrated

[@tobiasvaughn4155]

I finally got a notification on time! This is so cool! I've been watching your channel forever now and you're so talented

[@freckledcatcreations]

yo i'm glad its finally working like its supposed to X'D I honestly never get notifs for all the channels im subbed to.... pfft. thank you so much for bein a long time follower!!

[@ZarchiArts]

I never get tired of saying it! Seeing your videos making fursuits and giving us little tips, even if they are small, entertain me and make me hope that one day I will make my fursuit🎋♥️

[@freckledcatcreations]

I'm so glad!!!! Thank you very much!!

[@UlarioGryphon]

Thank you so, so much for this! I’m making a TF2 scout costume for my fursuit and was stumped on how to make the hat! This gives me a good staring point!

[@bardthenascarfanaticdragon]

I recently got a Galaxy S8+ and I absolutely love it. I am planning on making a cow fursona, complete with udders. And once I get it uploaded, I'll add the link to it so you can make the partial suit for me, with the udders. I only want the head, udders, hooves, and tail. And the horns are similar to Guapo's horns in Ferdinand (2017).

[@taytay57275]

I’m currently binge watching your videos!! you’re such a big inspiration to me and you inspire me to make my own KZbin channel and make videos when I get a fursuit head someday! thank you so much for being you, and I hope you have an amazing day!! you are such an idol to me and I feel honoured to be a subscriber :3

[@keegantheknight5269]

An amazing final product as usual! Dashing pilot hat! (Pretty good tutorial too! Seems pretty good for adapting to one's needs though i can't make anything with fabric for the life of me XD)

[@freckledcatcreations]

Thank you so much Keegan!!

[@specstired]

You literally have tutorials for everything!!! and I can’t thank you enough for all the help you’ve personally given me as a creator. Your work is amazing and very inspiring, thank you.

[@freckledcatcreations]

aw THANK YOU!!! so glad I could help!!! ive got so many more tutorials planned for the future too, stuff that's really been needed in the fandom - can't wait to get to them :3

[@ScreechScratch]

Absolutely fantastic tutorial as always keep up the amazing work, much love and appreciation from me keep up the hard determined work 🍍

[@freckledcatcreations]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Krylonny]

I love the final product! Very awesome ^w^

I'm glad you like it!

[@goosed5455]

You deserve so many more subscribers! All of your work is absolutely stunning!

[@freckledcatcreations]

Thank you so much!

[@ChihuahuaKawaii]

:D !! 10:30 is that your dog in the background? ^-^ I love dogs! ^w^ Also I would love to know how to do other types of hats for fursuits! especially ones with brims like cowboy hats, top hats, mage hats, etc ^w^ my fursona is a witch fennec and while I already figured out how I'm gonna make her cape, I still hope to figure out how to do her witch hat. I also have a wild dog oc that isn't a fursona but he's also a wizard so I hope to make his hat too once I make him as a fursuit :3 your content is really helpful btw! I subscribed ^-^

[@freckledcatcreations]

it's actually my cat Lorenzo! he's a sphynx! i love cats :3 hoping to do more hat tutorials in the future, dont worry! might be a bit , but you could also search on youtube for 'how to make a top hat from scratch' and apply it to a fursuit.

[@ChihuahuaKawaii]

@@freckledcatcreations ohh cats are cool too ^-^ yeah I've been looking up a few witch hat tutorials aswell lol XD I might see if I can work with them and combine it with your tutorials, I'm pretty patient so even if you do come out with brimmed hat tutorials such as mage hats and top hats, I'm sure that would really help too! :D I actually don't think there's one for fursuits yet but who knows, maybe you could be the first! ^w^

This looks perfect, awesome job!!!

[@bardthenascarfanaticdragon]

Make a Goat fullsuit for me too, only it's fully blue with its horns and beard yellow. Also, wrap part of the left ear in sports tape to simulate bandages. Name: Vincent Van Goat.

[@bardthenascarfanaticdragon]

Your opening theme is the same as a particular video release from 2000.

[@Bible-kjv-u3y]

This was very satisfying to watch keep it up :D

[@freckledcatcreations]

Glad you enjoyed!!!

[@Jenni4sbody]

Oh my god, I needed this so badly, my main sona wears a top hat and I’m working on their hat soon.

[@freckledcatcreations]

omg yes!! good luck! for the hard structure of the hat, you could try using interfacing for handbags (kinda like super stiff felt) or even plastic.

[@ViperCatCreations]

​@freckledcatcreations That's a wonderful suggestion! I'll be making a witch hat for my sona, so I'll definitely keep that in mind

[@spacebeanstudios7979]

Cute Mouse suit !!

[@Backroomz]

Need more likes your work is so good

[@freckledcatcreations]

aw thank you!!

[@spacebeanstudios7979]

That's really cool

[@istolethispfpsorry485]

I love this tutorial. I'll use it for making a beanie for my suit. I. Not sure which material to use. I have fleece, but I feel like using yarn would be better. I'll have to learn how to crochet it. Are you planning on making more hat tutorials anytime soon?

[@freckledcatcreations]

I REALLY want to! none of my next commissions will be having hats though, so i'll have to wait for that opportunity. a beanie stumps me though.. hmm.... maybe you might wanna find a knit piece of clothing with the color you need, then cut that up and sew it together? I would hate to have to learn fully how to crochet just to make one hat lmao. there are a couple fursuit makers who offer custom knitted beanies too!

[@CornleafGoofyBoi]

This is 100% gonna help me, thank you!

[@freckledcatcreations]

Glad to hear it!!!! Good luck with your hat!! :D

[@wannabefriends1533]

Hello freckled cat! I was wondering when your going to do commissions? I was wanting to get a fursuit but can't find one, I might buy a fursuit head ONLY if your doing commissions, and I love your videos!

[@freckledcatcreations]

hey! I've got my website/commission info in the description, I'm going to take on new projects in 2023 sometime!! have to get through my current queue I took in December. Not exactly sure which day I'll open but it'll be in 2023

[@wannabefriends1533]

@@freckledcatcreations oh okay I can wait long! How much would the prices be?

[@Blueshark8O9]

That is a very well made hat!

[@freckledcatcreations]

thanks so much!!

[@markofpride6418]

Will you ever give us a kigurumi tutorial

[@freckledcatcreations]

yes! working on it behind the scenes! gonna be suuuuuper detailed and a lot of work, going over every little thing I can think of and 3-4 part series. - so I'll want people to pay for it. its gonna be like $10, i'll make a video announcement here when its done.

[@MosnterEnergyDrinker]

How much money are you making off fursuits? And getting spent on fursuits?

[@freckledcatcreations]

mine are extremely cheap right now, so I'm only making maybe $600 off of each one..... and i can make 1 every 4-5 months. that's about $120 a month... and my monthly bills are $2200 !! so it's definitely not making much money for me lol

[@Eerbua._j]

Are your commissions open?
