I love this. The sacrifice of you put on the fursuit are incredible, I guess if I make one but I don’t think really, but I love your tutorial videos. Have a nice day 😁
Convex vs Concave cutting breakdown just changed my whole life. Thank you for addressing that so specially and clearly you are a brilliant tutorial maker.
I've seen some people cover where they're taping with cling wrap first so there's less of a chance to damage the foam! Plus when they take it off it's already non-sticky.
idk if this question really belongs *here,* but it's something I've been wondering anyway: how do you make sure your fursuit heads aren't face-heavy? I'm going to make my own eventually, but I'm scared that it'll be heavier in front than in back and go tipping forward and ruining the look.
I find the heads sit on the shoulders comfortably enough for that not to be an issue, and you can move the ears a bit further back as a counterweight too!
OMG I'm a Japanese who wanna make my fursuit next year, I'm very surprised to know how to decide separate parts or dart parts……. I wanted to learn this earlier. Skye-san very thanks!!
When your making a fursuit when your young, it’s good not to make it too small or it will become too small when you do grow. I know this comment probably isn’t very helpful know that you said that 2 months ago, but if you decide to make another one just a top😅
This is great! I'll definitely use these videos to help when I make mine. Just wondering though, where did you get your dummy head? I can't seem to find one that's very good so far
im planning to start a headbase tomorrow and am learning what i can do differently than the first time i tried to make one last year; patterning scares me the most because i tried that once and all the pieces ended up too small. i don't think i added enough seam allowance so hopefully i can do better this time :3
I’m so excited, Sky! I’ve always watched your tutorials for fun but today is the day I actually use them to make my first fursuit! Big moment! I’m nervous but it’s ok, I can try again and improve. Thanks so much for teaching us all how to do this!❤ -Loki
I’ve been considering making a fursuit head of my own, or possibly modifying a foam base to my needs. I want to enter fursuit dance competitions with my best friend, but neither of us can afford a suit at this point in our young adult lives. Wish us luck if you see this? Lol.
My plan is instead of lining, I’m gonna get two balaclavas and glue one into the suit, and wear the other. Would that work? I’m sorry I’m just lazy af and lining is confusing to me
In the first video it says to cut a rectangle of 24.5 by 7 inches. Does that work for any size of person head? And also are you able to use other kinds of glue and not a hot glue gun?
thanks so much your videos all ways help soon i am going to make one i am young and it helps so much i love your yt!😊this helps so much i am going to use ALL of this in my fursuit
I will be totally honest, this step is the step that hardcore stonewalled me and I'm not trying to say its something wrong eith the video as other videos didn't help. I stalled out at this step for 6-7 hours and abandoned my project. I just cannot comprehend this at all.
I'm trying to order some premade eye mesh and the product has diameters for how big you want them, would it be better to get 30mm or 55mm for a project like this?
Awesome video! I was wondering though how you'd pattern a head made out of expanding foam? Where they have no back. I can't find any tutorials for it :')
what i did was cut a thick strip to hold the back of my head and another to go over the top and this works pretty good. i did notice this made it a bit difficult to pattern the empty spaces.
Hey skye! I needed to ask-, how big are the eyes (measurement wise)? I want to measure mine out so they will fit with your headbase pattern but I’m unsure what size I have to make them, Thanks! :)
Hello Skye! I have a question. Is lining your head a necessity or is it optional? I've been struggling with it and it's not working out for me so just a question
Optional, but wear a balaclava underneath, especially if it’s not lined cos you don’t want sweat damaging the foam over time, and always clean after wearing since there will be no lining
I don't know exactly what Skye uses but from the tutorials I've seen you can make them from plastic or craft foam though I've also seen people 3d print them
How do you pattern the head with tight curves as the ears on my suit i am planning to make have lots of tight curves and the tape doesn’t really stick well or go in the curve
Hello! A small question from a junior furry, does the tape not stick to the foam and damage it? And if it does what are some things that I can do to stop that from happening? :D
I've never worked with eva foam so how careful should I be when removing the tape with the exacto knife? You make it look so easy but im not sure what to expect.
Hecc, tried this and there wasn't enough allowance around the neck to allow the base to still fit over the fattest part of the head, even with fabric around the neck of the mannequin. Need to figure something out so there is enough allowance for the neck liner.
Just out of curiosity, can you take the same duck taped part used to make the lining for the neck/shoulder part, and use it to make the fur for overtop of it instead of having to duck tape it a second time? 🤔
hey sky im not sure if reply to comments but if you do some of your beginner videos are a lil bit aged so i was wonder no what would you rccomend heads to be sold for that are decent
This is probably a stupid question but if someone sees this and knows the answer please, please tell me! When cutting darts and you trace it onto your fabric so you mark the darts into the fabric and then resend them together, or when tracing you just go over them as if they aren't there? This is really confusing me...
I also deal with this, but I just cover the foam so that I can't feel it completely, I just use lyrca on the inside of the head so that no foam is exposed, for the making of the base your kinda fucked there sorry but maybe gloves would work for when working on the head
Hey, I’m just wondering how the tape works with not just staying stuck on the foam? I feel like it might just rip the foam I use when I peel it off. Thanks!
if you hate on furries, remember, their just normal people who wear animal costumes on a daily basis. which in all rights means if youve ever worn an animal mask, glove, shoe, or even hat and shirt, your technically considered a furry to. so all the maths done and with that conclusion 47% of the human population are furrys. yikes, good luck haters. not even just that, as the original definition reads, a furry is a human that has daily interaction with a wearable item with fur on it. so, to all the haters that wear winter jackets, sweaters, or just Anything with fur really. i guess you better use the non-existent furry exterminator on yourself. and skye, i very much support what your doing. you are very entertaining and my favourite youtuber in over 5 years of being in youtube. keep it up!
Me: alright I’ve finished my base so now I should line it. Skye: so before we put the eyes in we want to pattern the inside of our head. Me who already put the eyes in: 🥲🥲🥲
I have a question- how do you add eyes after furring? Is it possible? All I have left is the eyes for my suit (and the lining which is why I was here lol). I don’t know how to add the eyes effectively. Do you have any tips?
Late response and not from Skye but yes, absolutely! It may be a lil messy but yea! Installation depends on your kinds of eyes. Are they 3-D or 2-D? and how far does the fur go into the place where the eyes go? is there foam exposed where the eyes should go, or is the whole thing covered in fur?
I ended up being able to add the eyes! They were 3D, I was having a little trouble because the fur had holes where the eyes were and it wasn’t enough fur, but I was able to repattern and fur the head after I put the eyes in cos it was too difficult the other way😂 thank you for responding though
Typically, if you wrap the head in plastic wrap, that should make the whole taping process easier and leave less ripped pieces! That’s what most people do when taping. As for how the tape didn’t rip their specific head, either the type of foam wasn’t comparable to stick to the tape or they used magic.

Reply to this comment with any questions about things in THIS VIDEO! And I may answer them in the next Final Cut episode!
Umm so would it be easier to cover the head with cling film if your taping it or do you find it not to help much?
hello :3 how much thme does it take to do that? :3
Would it be possible to just put a balaclava on the mannequin head, then glue that to the base and cut out holes for the eyes and mouth?
What materials should you never use to line the head?
Does the duck tape only work with a specific foam? When i tried it, it ripped my foam off
This is literally _PERFECT_ timing!
I’m working on lining my fursuit this week!
Good luck!
How did it go?
@@PlagueDepths turns out i didn’t get around doing it until now because _procrastination_ , but im halfway done now and its going great!

I’m not going to lie I’m still a little confused on how to do any of this :,(
I use the marker lines as seam allowance because I use a blanket stitch and I currently lack a sewing machine
Ngl those beats are kinda fire
Also good work! This was super helpful!
Really Thanks for Sharing you knowledge. Summer Holidays is coming (Southern hemisphere 🇨🇱) and I have my plans to make my first fursuit

17:18 bombastic side eye
My plan is instead of lining, I’m gonna get two balaclavas and glue one into the suit, and wear the other. Would that work? I’m sorry I’m just lazy af and lining is confusing to me
This might be dume but can I just use mesh and painting for the eye
6:35 do you think satin would work? I like the texture and it often keeps me cool.
In the first video it says to cut a rectangle of 24.5 by 7 inches. Does that work for any size of person head?
And also are you able to use other kinds of glue and not a hot glue gun?
Wow is very good
thanks so much your videos all ways help soon i am going to make one i am young and it helps so much i love your yt!😊this helps so much i am going to use ALL of this in my fursuit

How does the tape come off without sticking? Is there plastic under it? Great tutorial btw!!
Sometimes duct tape is weak enough that it comes off with ease, or you can Saran Wrap first then tape, really depends on the stickiness of the tape
@@Koiva. thank you so much
How much fabric do you need in yards to make the lining? how much do you use? based on the video id say a yard?
Half a meter usually, for me anyways
about 2 yards! i think
I'm trying to order some premade eye mesh and the product has diameters for how big you want them, would it be better to get 30mm or 55mm for a project like this?
Lining has proven to be the hardest part for me, especially since I’m new to a sewing machine 🫣
you make it seem so smooth aaaaaaaaaaaa
What would you do for the eye blanks for a manokit? This is super useful just don't know if I need to shape them differently.
Im not a furry and i don't plan to become one, but that's quite interesting! good work!=)
Awesome video! I was wondering though how you'd pattern a head made out of expanding foam? Where they have no back. I can't find any tutorials for it :')
You attach it to a bucket head base

@@wyattvillalobos4153 hmm good idea! I imagine it'd be easy to fill those gaps with more foam and make a full back.
Where do u get the fur at? Do u but it from a store or Order it?
Just a random question. How long did this actually took you?
Question: Do you have to line your fursuit to fur it? Is there an easier way?
Hey skye! I needed to ask-, how big are the eyes (measurement wise)? I want to measure mine out so they will fit with your headbase pattern but I’m unsure what size I have to make them, Thanks! :)

Hello! A small question from a junior furry, does the tape not stick to the foam and damage it? And if it does what are some things that I can do to stop that from happening? :D
i've heard you can use clingfilm between the tape and the head!
Can you also make a "How to fur a fursuit head" tutorial?
Near the end of the video Skye mentions that the next in this series will be the furring of the fursuit head.
I’m having a lot of trouble lining my suit right now how do I mark out the lines correctly for where I need to cu
do you need to line it AND wear a balaclava or is it one or the other?
I've never worked with eva foam so how careful should I be when removing the tape with the exacto knife? You make it look so easy but im not sure what to expect.
Has the eye blank tutorial been completed yet?
Do you need a (the thing that you put the head on I forget how to spell it) for making the head?
Hecc, tried this and there wasn't enough allowance around the neck to allow the base to still fit over the fattest part of the head, even with fabric around the neck of the mannequin. Need to figure something out so there is enough allowance for the neck liner.
Just out of curiosity, can you take the same duck taped part used to make the lining for the neck/shoulder part, and use it to make the fur for overtop of it instead of having to duck tape it a second time? 🤔

Quick question,would you still have to do the tape on the fursuit if you don't have any patterns on it's face?
I needed a lining tutorial thx!!
Hi! How do you sow the outside(?) eye liner onto the main head liner?, I’m a bit stuck. Thanks!
I'm pretty sure you just hot glue it on
Where do you buy it the eyes, please see my questions

Where do you get the head from?
EDIT:
As in the maiquine head
This is probably a stupid question but if someone sees this and knows the answer please, please tell me! When cutting darts and you trace it onto your fabric so you mark the darts into the fabric and then resend them together, or when tracing you just go over them as if they aren't there?

You trace and sew them together
Do you need lining if you were those ski mask things (forgot what they called) when u put on the mask
I know that its probably too late now, but if you have a balaclava I personally don't think you need lining

Resin or 3D printed head bases are a thing
I love this it gives good advice
Hey, I’m just wondering how the tape works with not just staying stuck on the foam? I feel like it might just rip the foam I use when I peel it off. Thanks!
Usually duck tape won’t stay stuck on foam but if you’re not sure with the kind of tape you have I recommend doing a small test swatch.
@@k0vu_arts ok thanks!
@@ThatLilFlooferI use masking tape! It doesn’t stick to the foam!

When the eyes are in and you turn the head it brings me back to when I went to chuck e cheese and I kept getting stared at by the robot

That's... Not true. They don't usually wear animal costumes on a daily basis. What makes someone a furry is simply considering yourself a furry.
@@tycho25 nah. What makes someone a furry is having interest in anthropomorphic animals
What kind of tape do you use?
I bought some fur, but it looks like a blanket, the 2 sides have fur. I spend much money in it, can I use it in my fursuit? :
Would a balaclava not also work for lining? Or is that not a good idea?
I have a big question- Do you have to do a lining? It look so hard
Me: alright I’ve finished my base so now I should line it.
Skye: so before we put the eyes in we want to pattern the inside of our head.

insted of using stiching to hold it together can you hot glue it together?
