I can imagine how cutting the dtd feels, because i broke my arm once and when i had my cast removed, it felt like i was being cut but it didn't hurt at all. I love your videos. They're really useful.

[@riversgoingnowhere1659]

Ohh, yes, I suppose that’s how it would feel!

[@littleghost6102]

i broke my leg and it didnt feel like it was cutting me probably cuz the doctor had some special scissors with a plastic cap on one side specifically for that

[@crystal03marie]

Yo that feels SO weird. Especially having been stiff for so long and then you feel the vibrating throughout the cast it's so freaky I remember it being a huge relief and disappointment all at once No more sweating or itchiness or worrying about it getting wet But you arm literally cannot move except like half a centimeter

[@roxythefoxmonster7696]

When I was younger I wanted to make a fursuit but there weren’t that many youtube videos available So me and my sister fallowed a low quality video and made it wrong but also she ended up cutting my shirt during the cutting process

[@GogggTheGus]

I’ve broken my arm TWICE! HA! Guess I’m leader now B)

[@fandima5471]

To anyone planning on making a duct tape dummy: if you have issues with blood pressure PLEASE be careful while doing this! Took me and my boyfriend two hours to make mine and I got lightheaded multiple times and almost fainted twice 😭 Make sure to drink plenty of water and have someone feed you snacks (and maybe don't stand on hard floors,,, my feet hated me after this lmao). Very helpful tutorial! Can't wait to start working on my fursuit ❤️

[@colorbar.s]

honestly the girl being taped is really brave for participating in this video and letting the whole world see her exact body shape, this whole process seems really personal. I have the same bodytype as her and I think I'd be too insecure if someone asked me to be in a video like this, people can be awful.

[@crystal03marie]

All body types are beautiful in their own way I think ppl with a bit of chub look like hugable marshmallows which as someone who likes hugs thinks is a nice feature to have Me personally I've lived my life being a bit underweight (totally healthy but as a kid you could see my ribs. How that works idk). wasn't until recently that my weight finally averaged out but still pretty 'boney' (fun fact: I weighed 80lbs in middle school and had a friend who called me boney shoulder XD)

[@crystal03marie]

Also pls don't take any offence by me saying ppl are like marshmallows it's 100% a complement :>

[@michaelpatten3135]

Disclaimer: You can be a member of the furry fandom without a fursuit. Also, before you say "I'll never have a fursuit," I'd like to share my story. I made my first fursuit way back in 2008, when I was 17. It was a partial and a slightly cursed trainwreck but I loved him dearly until he fell apart and I learned a lot from the whole process. Fast forward 10 years, I put myself in considerable debt by earning a BFA with a focus in sculpture and a minor in design and tech theater. By 2021, I'd also earned a master's degree in childhood education. In 2022, I got hired as an art teacher and was able to stabilize my income and bills within 18 months. I just turned 33 and bought almost all the supplies needed to build my first full fursuit. KZbin has been my go-to resource in learning how to navigate costume construction since 2014. If I could do it for under $50 and without good youtube tutorials way back in 2008, I believe y'all can do whatever you set your mind to. Happy crafting!!

[@Khunai.]

I turn 30 next year and I just made my first suit this year with no prior experience and I am SUPER happy with her! The KZbin tutorials are SOOOOOOO useful!! If you put the time and effort in to learning before you start, you can make an incredible suit of your own. Take your time, research EVERYTHING from fur patterning, fur direction, fur shaving, all of it. And you will come out with something even better than you ever thought you could make yourself.
