*procrastinates on chem homework by watching this* *skye pulls up the chemical structures* *involuntarily starts naming the function groups on the structures* Great video! Planning on using EVA foam for my first headbase because it's lightweight and can be cut out in patterns and glued to itself to make forms, but not rigid like resin or 3D printed heads. It's a spideer (spider/deer hybrid) with a bunch of big extra eyes all over so I'm not sure how sturdy upholstery foam will be with that many eyeholes. Especially in the muzzle which has numerous eyeholes to maximize ventilation.

[@sakuraice22]

Good luck with your suit

[@devin-wyldeheart1233]

Your videos were very helpful with making my partial! Also, I get upholstery foam from Joann Fabrics. They have sales on it rather often. Just in case that helps any of your other USA watchers

[@riley5541]

Skye I love your channel so much, youve given me so much more confidence to start my fursuit. I think you’d make a wonderful teacher even outside of firsuiting if you ever wanted to get into something like that

[@Chaos_Hound]

Thanks for posting! I’m so excited for my first fursuit!

[@Tatertotpie]

I love your videos so much! They're so in depth and comprehensive! I'm curious if you've ever tried a 3d printed head. Aren't they more breathable? Do they fur well, or do you need to use EVA foam to pad the base? And does it need a sort of mesh base over the holes to avoid pits in the fir? 😅 Thank you so much,! You're such a treasure to the furry community. 🥰

[@SkyehighStudios]

It’s not my preference personally, 3D prints aren’t as porous unless there’s holes, I find them a bit tricky when it comes to heat and warping, I’ve not really used them myself but I’ve had to fix them before. I’m a bit old fashioned I suppose and love my foam bases xD

[@twinfantasytowers]

I don’t really have personal experience on that front, but generally I’d assume it’d be harder to work with than a foam base since you can’t adjust it as easily- but that would confirm a parallel head I suppose. I’m not sure how well it furs, but if you’re worried about that you could probably add some thinner layers of foam over the base.

[@garfieldmethodactor8614]

so fucking delighted that theres finally something that Only Australians Can Get. im so used to not being able to get stuff that americans can get. its a bit bad natured but i needed this win after so many years of being told to go to walmart

[@fluffacep]

Agreed

[@Moss_pawz7]

Welp as part of that 3.3 percent of your Aussie subs I must say that the foam thing helps me out SO SO MUCH

[@Grimgar_clay]

Thanks! Great videos from my favorite fursuit making KZbinr, keep up the great work

[@ThumbKnuckle]

I do eva foam head bases because they are consistent and I love consistent results and after an initial investment eva foam is much cheaper to use than upholstery.

[@JunefierFoxtrot]

Thanks for the foam info! I'm planning on making a Fox puppet using a fursuit pattern. So knowing what foams to use is very helpful.

[@birdywren5277]

STEVE-O ON THE MERCH AAHAHA YES!!!

[@kito.kreations]

Great! Thank you this is a very helpful video!

[@-kawaiispacebun-3137]

[@Deerboidraws]

I don't think there's anything Walmart doesn't sell, tbh. Some locations even sell live animals

[@aniiii_wxs]

I REMEMBER SEEING FISH WHEN I WAS LITTLE BUT WHAT

[@Deerboidraws]

@@aniiii_wxs They don't sell live animals there where I live but I've seen online videos of people getting aquarium fish there. THE one in my town can't even keep the houseplants alive so, I honestly hope they never start here

[@aniiii_wxs]

@@Deerboidraws wishing the best for those plants

[@Deerboidraws]

@@aniiii_wxs me too

[@Candycorn4u]

And another amazing video from sky!🎉

[@CatLover047]

what about poly foam?

[@IorekByrnison086]

Thanks for the great info. Now i know about foams. Keep up the great job.

[@SixEightTwo_]

THANK YOU SKYE FOR DEPARTING YOUR KNOWLEDGE ON WHERE TO GET AUSSIE FOAM :D

[@griffbear39]

Dunno if I should say where I work so publicly but…here goes I work at a clark rubber, I work in the foam area mainly. The one I work at has a huge range of EVA foam sheets in various sizes and densities. We also have High density, Standard Density, two types of enduro, acoustic and car seat/motorcycle seat/quad bike seat foam. Just call your nearest store to see what they stock.

[@Seshidao]

Would you be able to do a video on how to package & ship fursuits? Would love to know how one goes about this, especially in Australia if shipping international can be a bit daunting for a new time maker. Love your vids they are always insightful!

[@KettleTheFox]

Very informative video. I've learned a lot, because I didn't know any of this lol. Thank you for making these videos.

[@3-Eyed_Kall]

Thank you, i needed this. I’ll grab some from my local Depot of Home (Home Depot). My first suit will be a challenge especially with the tight budget i have

[@MUFFINS-katten]

I'm sooo happy! I got your merch for Christmas! Marry Christmas❤❤❤❤🎄🎄

[@glitch_wolf75]

i spy that dingo art at 8:29 (also great video!)

[@novapower8323]

I go to toy stores to buy EVA foam. There is plenty at the crafts section, but only in small pieces coloured

[@CatAttackz]

Thanks for the great info I have a question on motivation, how do you get it? I bought materials to start my first partial fursuit in July and still haven’t started anything. I want to start the tail but don’t have the motivation, is there any advice on how to begin other than just start/just do it?

[@Micespaceart]

Hellooo! Currently making my own fursuit:D

[@ktos_N1eZnaj0my]

0:35 Where can you buy such a mannequin? (translated from Polish to English)

[@p0ison_pill794]

hey, polish person here, i bought a similiar one from allegro

[@Moss_pawz7]

Quick question, what sewing machines would you recommend, specifically one that they sell at spotlight and is cheap lmao

[@RanbooFan]

so.. upholstrey is like cushion foam? i like to find my foam from micheals, its blue, squishy, and holds up really well!

[@-izzFizz-]

Omg I can't believe I didn't know that Clark Rubber had foam 0-0. Edit: it also has eva and acoustic foam!

[@RavCat]

Do you recommend using the white upolstery foam (the ones that turn yellow with time) I have it to make mt first few heads, and my current fursuit's maker used it for my suit head

[@jeddcullinan3558]

This is really good Skye

[@Roach1RR]

Quick question, when you’re gluing the fur to the foam can you just use hot glue? Or will it ruin the fur?

[@Tani_Dog2]

Clark rubber has foam? I have been looking to find foam in australia for so long!

[@Starberry-onpawZz]

I’m gonna make my first suit soon

[@British-Detective]

Question how would you make glasses for a fursuit?

[@British-Detective]

@Beekittboi cool thank you!

[@Pixie_Potato101]

Hey Skye, are you going to the Melbourne fur con in February?

[@fluffacep]

Do you get the thin upholstery foam roll from clark rubber? I couldn't find it on their website

[@Rax_is_Bored]

I have a question and need answers (from any experience fursuit maker)!! What types of foam should you AVOID? I have some low-density upholstery foam thats a bit worn out but hasn't been used. Could I use that? Or should I just buy new foam? Thanks!

[@lorimarx2866]

what manaquins do fursuiters use

[@RyoWuff]

I would love to see kemono fursuit tutorial

[@KiroTheFox]

Special question! Will I need half-inch foam for anything? If so, what would I need it for? I’m trying to keep it under 500 and it’s 470, (Without tax) and I’m just trying to make the cost lower. Thanks!!!

[@dozingfowl]

Joaans is great for foam in the USA!

[@Idk_nobodyknows.]

Hello, I am a new fursuit maker and I was wondering if you could make a tutorial (or a tips and tricks video) on how to carve foam with *scissors only*? I have seen some fursuit makers do it yet they still have impossibly smooth foam. I can’t use an electric cutter or anything expensive except fabric scissors. So I think it would be e really helpful for me if you could make a video on this, thanks! If you find me commenting this everywhere, it’s because there’s literally no videos I can find.

[@-bean-cat333]

Me over here trying to hold it together trying to figure out how to become a patron

[@ayanathebest]

Heyy!I have a question:is upholstery foam safe to use?I have used it for my project but some people told me it was toxic and can lead to respiratory problems

[@furryLover28]

yes it can be toxic if you wear it for WAYYYYYYYYYYYY too long, it can create mold and you could get a heat stroke and could be life threatening. im not saying like you cant wear your fursuit for more than 5 minutes only i usually am not a fursuiter but i am a furry but ive learned that you may have a break every 30 minutes, sit down, take a drink of water and relax for probably 5 mins.

[@SunkyAnimationer]

I only watched this to know what foam to use for making a fnaf animatronic. Wish me luck.

[@Daskeladden]

hei på deg veldig bra video du lagde om Norskt godteri men Dessvere er ikke kvikk lunsj kitt kat. det er det mange som misforstår med det går veldig bra 😁😁

[@CattPerson]

What thickness is ur upholstery foam

[@K4NDYK0RE]

hey skye, I have a question (anyone else can answer if they know) - do you need to tape your fursuit if it's all the same color? my fursona is a white moth and I've been trying to do research to see how to fur it but I can't find any tutorials..

[@K4NDYK0RE]

@Beekittboi yeah, upon more research I think it should be taped either way. thanks

[@ErisWood]

The fact she doesn't know how google is pronounced made my day XD

[@nikolaimuller3865]

How do i make a Torso?

[@Someoneleft_thechat]
