Fursuit Making
« on: August 13, 2013, 06:52:25 PM »
Is it difficult to make one? Is it cheaper to buy one or to make one yourself? Which is better, a partial or a full?

I want to make one but I don't if I can D:

I'm currently making a partial fursuit and the cost has come to £3 for just the fur (try to look for offcuts) ^D^ I'd say it'll be cheaper to make one.

making fursuits are surprisingly easy and cheap, you jsut need to know how to sew! I'm using tutorials from matrices.net.

If you are short on money then you should make one. If you have plenty to spare, splash out the cash if you like  ^_^
Can I just say though, the process of making a fursuit is fun and a little challenging, and working with foam is the best part <3

Yeah, only problem is finding where to get the materials. I guess I could look around town and see what I can find! :)

THANKS!
