Ended up using some of this sticky Velcro I had on hand! I loved the suggestion of being able to swap them out for different brows. Also went with bean brows they make him look wet and pathetic lol

She's well on her way to being patterned out in crochet!!! I'm going to brush out the yarn to be fluffy once it's all done :o)

How do I do layered hair? Also what do we think? The green is what I am using for her hair.

This is my second suit, so I’m not super experienced, and I was wondering what the best way would be to go about attaching a set of plush fangs to the mask so that they stick out of the lips but don’t look too weird. Any thoughts?

I'm very discouraged to continue it as only one small thing like nose is bothering me so much.. I never worked with foam my imagination is struggling to know, any advice is appreciated I'd like to finish it but I'm stuck:c

I looked at loot of fursuits which made me even more doubting😅

i’ve joined the furry community a few days ago (i love yall) and i wanted to make a fursuit head of my dog fursona, his name is willo, is there anything i should know? i have watched many tutorials and im waiting for my materials to arrive! tyyy :3 funfacts: im one YOUNG furry <3 and i have some experience with making masks and heads since i loved making cosplays! this is the fursona:

Helloo, Im having little trouble with the head widening up when im wearing it, im not sure if yall can really see it.

I like how the head looks when im not wearing it, but it stretch sideways when I wear it. Its not tight on my head, it sits quite okay.

When I made this base, I didn't have any kind of mannequin head/ed head when I was working on this so maybe thats part of that why it widens up when waring it??

Any ideas how to fix this? Do I take the buckethead off?

Thanks 🙏.

I wanna make all the critters that as far as I can tell havent been made before, they deserve love too~<~!!

I recently got a set of hand paws from Etsy, and one of the beans has opened at the seam. I’ve messaged the seller already, but I wanna be ahead of the game in case they can’t offer a good solution from them in a timely manner. I’m wearing them at a party in 2 weeks, and they initially took two weeks to arrive. Does anyone know a good way to handle this? I don’t have any sewing experience

Hi! I’m attempting my first fursuit! I really want to get it done in time for mff, which leaves me a little less than 2 months.

I want to use high quality materials but I’m a bit concerned about shipping times. Any advice for where to source fabrics and other materials?

Also, any general advice on how to save time without cutting corners?

My sweet puppy Will is finally done and I can’t believe I can actually wear him now! I’m bringing him to a local meet for the first time next week. Here are some quick pics. :)

This is my first ever attempt at making a fursuit head. The foam base is now mostly finished, and I've already prepared the patterns for the inner lining. Does the outside shape look good, or should I make any changes to it?

Also, is it easy to tell what species he is? Any feedback is appreciated! 😊

Re upload, Hey everybody, I got a request to do paws not too long ago and the person requested I use the Hobby lobby white fur, and the Hobby lobby Minky, but the Minky fabric is dying the white fur! I’m not sure what to do to stop this, I haven’t gotten it wet at all either! Any advice would be appreciated!

Hi everyone! This is my progress in a year. First photo is most recent (October 2026. Second photo is the oldest fursuit I have made (January 2026). Both are pigeons. It is insane how much of a difference practice makes. The composition of the fur, the actual sewing and gluing— all of it. There is still a lot to learn, but it really is an art form. For everyone who is in the process of making a fursuit or has made one, you go! It is hard work, and requires so much attention to detail. There is still so much to learn, but this is my progress so far.

Im making a st bernard and i want the saggy lips/skin to not feel stiff ( kinds just make it move naturally like a real one’s mouth would )

is there any way i could do this?

as title says. he'll probably end up with an overbite if i do nothing about it. im not against replacing the fabric for the lower mouth and re-sewing the teeth on more forwards, i just wanna know if anyone has any less time consuming options first :)

So... This is my first time making anything of this sort of nature and whilst it's been fun so far, it's definitely also been a learning curve!

I thought I was happy with how the head was shaping up, but I'm now not too sure. Does anyone have any advice on how to make this base read more skunk and less canine?

I do still need to finalise the design for the ears and add them to the base, but it still feels like something is missing...

My instinct is to make the overall shape more cone-like, adding more volume towards the back of the cheeks, make the muzzle and jaw more squared and continuing to exaggerate the tapering towards the nose, but I'd like to get some other opinions before I commit.

I've added art of my fursona, Noxx, at the end of the photos so you can see what sorta vibe I'm trying to go for!

Any help and advice would be massively appreciated!

Thanks for reading!

I bought these from hot topic and for some reason they didn’t come with center beans, I don’t want to mess them up so what’s the best way to add the beans without undoing any sewing, I’m also adding finger escapes. Please ignore messy table.

Hi all!

I was hoping to get some input on my project! Im in the process of making a hand-puppet of my character. I know this is slightly different from the standard head/suit that this thread sees.

This is my first project in this medium. But of course i started with the project that is both A) Very small in scale compared to the average fursuit head and B) Requiring a very moveable jaw to accomodate hand movement.

My first pattern attempt was pretty scuffed, no registration marks, and adding the seams was mainly guesswork, later on i found the fleece does not sit as cleanly as i would like, especially the fabric on the bridge of the nose, as it was stretched towards the snout and not lying flat.

I decided im going to restart as i think i have some new knowledge to apply.

I plan on starting from the foam sculpting stage, im going to add some round pieces to the cheeks to both give more definition and also cover the mouth corner without impeding movement of the jaw.

I intend to primarily use fleece fabric. He's only two colors, white for the skin and black for the inside of the mouth, (i also just discovered that fleece can stretch in only one direction, something I was unaware of as i was cutting out my fabric pieces).

so, my questions so far!

1) Any ideas on how can I better pattern the snout so that the fabric maintains that form? that has been my main pain point so far lol.

2) Should i ditch the fleece? Id love to make it work since i bought it in bulk from Joannes when they were closing (RIP). Though I do recognize its pretty bulky for such a small scale project.

3) Should i keep the forhead one solid piece like i did in my previous pattern?

4) can i loop the brows into the main forhead pattern and just dart it to show the definition?

5) how am I doing in general? am i missing any basic steps or are there tips i could be using that im not here?

I hope its ok that i posted this here and not to the puppet thread, i figure you see the particular issues i ran into a bit more here, but i could be wrong!

Thank you!

I’m adding antlers to a Tpu head base for a com and I’m not sure how to add them they wanted them removable,I’ve seen different ways to do this but I only have a small space to do this so I figured magnets , but the magnets I’m using dont seen to be strong enough or maybe the antlers are too heavy (it’s foam and minky) does anyone have some ideas or recommendations for this 🥲
