Adjustable Eyebrows
« on: August 17, 2016, 09:25:54 PM »
I've finally saved enough for a fursuit and really want adjustable eyebrows, similar to those made by MFL (if picture doesnt show click here: http://66.media.tumblr.com/eb5437787b8c1f6e407be1d63e1904e8/tumblr_n684devTHr1t96e8zo2_1280.png):


However, I have read mixed reviews of MFL, plus they're style simply, isn't my style :'( Does anyone know of ANY fursuit makers who have this as an option (preferably ones who also offer movable jaws, but honestly eyebrows are more important). If not, is there a reason that so few makers have this option? (Is it hard? Expensive? Ect?).


Finally, is this a reasonable thing for me to make. I.e. could I order a fursuit with no eyebrows and then add them on (I have no experience in anything sewing for fursuit related). On a side note, anyone know of makers who use glow in the dark or black light fur?


THANKS!  :D

It's just magnets most likely:) Same goes with removable/adjustable head hair. You have a lot of good, strong magnets all around the area against the foam of the head, and shave the fur down along those magnets pretty close to the backing. The removable part, like eyebrows or head hair, have the other side of the magnet exposed usually on the back of the adjustable piece. So one side of the magnet is under the shaved fur, the other side is exposed on the back of the piece.
As for glow in the dark or black light, I'd ask round. Most fursuit makers find their fur to match what you want, and that kind of fur isn't impossible to find, specifically a neon color. Most who have a glow in the dark effect actually have led lights in the suit, for stripes or spots for raves and whatnot :)
Hope that all made sense XD

Not sure if it's helpful, but the magnets you're looking for are neodynium magnets. You can buy them on ebay in all shapes and quantities. I bought a set of 100 for 10$ a few years back and have been using them for crafts since, they're SUPER useful.

Just something to keep in mind. I don't have magnetic eyebrows on my fursuit but make sure the magnets are strong (if you do decide on getting them!) ! You don't want to lose an eyebrow, eh? xd

My fursuit doesn't have eyebrows, I don't really like how they look on suits ;P
But the reason other makers don't offer that is probably because MFL has the market cornered. They were the first to do it (at least majorly) and the fursuit market is so competitive and full of whiteknights that there'd probably be fights if another maker were to do it now.

You can probably find someone who'd do it as a one-off thing though ^^

Ayy! I don't really like eyebrows either. I added them in anyways but it gets hidden by my fursuit's hair.

Don't bother adding eyebrows if your fursuit has hair covering it's forehead.
