You don’t brake upholstery thread, upholstery thread brake you
You mean upholstery thread?
Doctor Circe yes I think so I can’t hear too clearly coz bad headphones but thanks for correcting me
Break :P
Volt fennec fox TRUE IN RUSSIA
haha peeps go break
I just noticed, the bark in storni's intro actually echos
💖Don’t forget that time and love are put into them too 💖
Clock Work yes it is
Yea
Yes dat true
💕💕
I think it’s cheaper to MAKE one that to BUY one...
It usually is! But making a fursuit typically isn't something you can learn how to do overnight, especially a quality one! If you decide to make your own please let me know!
Yeah
it's fun to try. 😺
• ItzScarab yes but it’s harder and you will still be spending 40-70 pound-dollars
It's a lot friggin harder
"DONT USE REAL FUR"
Well shucks, there goes my idea of using my one singular rabbit pelt for making an entire fursuit...
Lol
Lol
*lol*
XD
Wow
another pro of resin bases is that mechanisms like moving jaws are way easier to make and will often come out more precise, because making a joint on a hard material is just not as frustrating as making one on a soft and squishy one
on resin claws, if youre planning on having a cute toony suits, sewn claws might just be the better option for you, especially if youre planning on having contact with little children. dont want to poke lil timmys eye out, do you?
if youre looking for a more realistoc or semi realistic style, resin claws are your best option because, well, they are just more realistic than sewn ones.
A reason why realistic suits use resin bases is because resin is a LOT smaller than foam heads. :3
sorry it took you a year to get a reply
sorry it took you two years to get a second one
Sorry it took your 4 years to get a third reply
The maker of my suit said it took her almost a full month to fully create her look, and it wasn't even a ref or anything like that. She came up with the design from her own imagination
Yes, I killed a neon green wolf to make my fursuit. :)
Lol
im a black and neon green wolf is that a threat
Univolts
Is it? :)
his name is inky the wolf
univolts is a human OC of mine
As a young furry that can’t wait to make a fursuit this is very helpful thank you!
I'm glad you found it helpful! Thank you so much!!!
Go for it 😊 have your parents look on etsy.com if they feel like helping you make a suit. It will save them alot of money. Or just shop around for a reputable maker like this guys maker. I'm not being paid by anyone to make these comments by the way I just want to help others 😊
Re: paws.
I'm surprised some form of pleather, artificial leather, is not more common for pads. Animal product free (usually) pliable and skin like texture, it should provide a good middle ground between durability, flexibility, and grip. With slightly longer claws if blunted I could see having one that has a removable tip designed to accept screw in tips from a phone/tablet stylus.
From my experience with pleather from purses, pleather cant seem to take alot of ware and tear and when it falls apart it looks bad.
Fair enough, though there should be some material that can be found to offer both reasonable durability and grip.
Hmmmm....... you could paint rounds of some material in tool handle latex and texture it. Many colors, reasonably durable, could be patched if needed.... and on the pads themselves should be relatively free from flexing.
pleather falls apart if you touch it hfsajfh
Travis Smith some people who support animals still buy animal stuff which I don’t get lol
That is a very informative video on fursuit materials. Also I may add that sculpy is another material used to make teeth and claws in some suits like Bruzo ones. But usually comes in a block that can be sculpted into whatever shape or boney part you want to make of it. And when baked, it sorta have this plastic resins sort of texture.
I've been thinking about making a partial, and this seems really helpful since a lotta materials are involved xd
At least this will be very useful so I know what to use in case I do want a fursuit being made. But then again, your vids are always helpful, Stormi! Also, congrats on making it to 25,000 subs! Can't wait to see what you would do when you hit 50,000! Keep it up, #PotatoLord! And as always, great video! Much love!
WHERE WAS THIS ALL MY LIFE!?!?! I’m a beginner fursuit maker and I, in my entire life, couldn’t find what materials I should use. Thank you Stormi, thank you. 🙏
Ah thank you. I've been looking for a good mesh to use for AGES!
Resin heads have the best moving jaws! That’s definatly a pro! 👏🏼
One thing I noticed for claws is some people use oven baked clay to make them. I don't know much about that method but I believe it's about the same as resin based accessories.
And foam heads are the softest, most comfortable materials. Made my partial suit head with foam and it was super fun to make.
I totally agree with this! Although I do have to say I prefer foam over polyfill/stuffing to make digitgrade legs. I find I makes the legs more durable.
OMG I NEEDED THIS! THANK YOUUU
You're welcome!

Hello there fellow pancake
Furries are the best, 🐺 awoo!
Matty the Wolf HALT! This is the police. In article 42, section 2, clause C, it states “OwOing, UwUing, awooing, and all other variations are strictly prohibited.” You’re going to jail.
OwO
Jade the Cat :3 The crime rates in this comments section are so high.
Awoo!
Cormorant Colors *Holds the uno reverse card*
No you
And this list varies EVEN more depending on preference and design! It’s just-wow it’s a rabbit hole! And there’s a bazillion different eye types and materials.
The materiel at the bottom of outside feet paws is EVA foam, i'm a beginning fursuit maker myself so they meteorites vary, but the materiel on your feet paws is EVA foam.
thank you for the video its was helpful to me as well
personally my favorites are 3d printed bases. they have the structure and mold prevention of a resin head, but tend to be covered in small holes that allow for great ventilation like a foam head (sometimes even better depending on the base). plus, they're pretty simple to make if you have everything you need.
3 years later and I finally see this video !!! thank you very much Stormi !! I know it is very late but this will really help me a lot !! THANK YOU!!!
Wow, a wild potato in its natural habitat. Just look at the blue beauty.
I'm a young fur who is starting out on fursuit making thank you this is very helpful
There are 3D printed head base that I'm using to build my first fursuit. The one I got differs from other resin heads is that it was 3D sculpted and so it has holes in in to let air flow, save weight and reduce cost. I got the head base from Fuzzbuttfursuits.com their also on FA.
So, I have a maskimals head (which I know most of the fandom doesn’t care for, also it’s the brown dog one), but I made some changes. I cut out the eyes and replaced it with the backs of paper plates (which I colored pupils on and were hot glued in) and I also added more details, like green eyebrows, tongue, and mouth. It actually looks pretty good for a starter. I’m going to make another one of the tuxedo cat (I have another fursona named Violet) and edit that one too. :D (And if you’re wondering, yes, I can see through it. The plates have small holes I made in them to help me see)
I don’t know if you read comment on your old videos, but I just wanted to share :D
The bottom for outdoor paws can also be eva foam.
Bad fursuit idea: the only orifice is the maw, the eyes are cameras ans the suiter has a H.U.D. to see outside because the suit also has cooling fans the eyes copy the suiter's eye movements using eyetracker, the mouth is directly linked to the suiter's mouth ans replicates the heat of a human body keeping a constant 37°C for realism, the ears are actual hearing devices.
I love how expressive your suit is!
Two main things you missed are hot glue and duct tape. Hot glue is needed not only to glue together your head base but also to glue down the fur (hot glue won't melt the foam or fur don't worry). Duct tape is used to pattern parts of the suit. I've heard of people using fleece to pattern their stuff but that's kinda expensive and a little bit of a waste of good materials to me.
I’m saving this for when I’m 29, I got goals my dude.
My husband and I are going to try and make ours.
Keep in mind a new type of base is arising in the fandom: 3D printed bases
Since this comment was made it's now widespread.
indeed it is true it is not easy to make them. hopefully i can try to make one someday these tips will help indeed to help get me started
I use faux leather on my paws pads and it works great!
I think its perfect to line up how your gonna make it
The eyes kindof work like one way mirrors, where if its dark you can see out but if its bright you cant see in
I watched this because I plan on making a head and paws for halloween. I found this really helpful
Thank you for mentioning the horns. My fursona is a hybrid and she has horns, and so far I havent found help on what materials to use. Thanks for this video, Stormi!
1. fur (duh)
2. Mesh or buckram (eyes) + thin foam
3. Memory foam or resin (for head base)
4. Balaclava (to prevent sweat in head)
5. Foam padding or poly fill (for stuffing)
6. Threading (upholstery thread)
7. Zippers or velcro (to get in and out of your suit or for detachable stuff like hair, tongue, ect)
8. Peet material (for bottom of feet)
9. Fleece or vinyl (for paw pads)
10. Fleece or resin (for claws)
11. Wire (for ears, tail, horns, wings, ect)
12. This wasnt mentioned in the video but also magnets (for detachable stuff (make sure they are very strong ones))
I actually used organza (a very sheer fabric) on my first suit’s eyes. It has better visibility than painted buckram, but because I could only really use it on my character’s slitted pupils, my visual field is smaller. I’d say it’s a good option for characters with single-coloured eyes or even the tear ducts of a realistic suit (though it’s a bit of a pain to glue due to the smoothness of the material.
I just kind of watch your ears flop around every time I watch one of your videos
Lol me too
Just a small correction; minky is a plush fabric used for tongues, noses, etc.
Mink faux fur however, is a dense medium pile faux fur, used for similar things like lux shag.
As for feet the rubber part of feet people usually use EVA foam, hard silocone or sometimes rubber mats.
I put my love in your videos
Stormi is our potato king
He had a fuzz booger on his nose the entire time, and I couldn't stop staring at it.
The shape of your head is very cute!
Very well done video Stormi! I'm sure this will be both helpful to both commissioners and new suit makers alike as this was very informative and well put together! Also, that little planvas text, and the blue is not red text were nice touches too. Also, I really liked the editing, and at that one part where the screen shook along with your head. I also think that doing actual fursuit making as a follow up to this with Treble is a great idea! Keep up the great work as always, and I hope you have a great day Stormi! :)
Your fur suit looks epic
I love your fur suit, it’s so cute. Did you buy it somewhere, or did you make it yourself?
Your follow me eyes are pretty cool, I've always really found them interesting
Nice carpet you got there
Love this video! I've been thinking about making fursuits for a while, and this really helped!!! Thank you so much stormi, I love all your videos!! You're awesome!!
I use foamy and mesh for eyes
Well you CAN use normal threads. My suit is made with normal ones and it holds perfectly fine, it always depends on how you are sewing.
Congrats on 100k dawg
I’ve heard that if you use a stronger thread, you run the risk of the fur ripping rather than the seams
Ive made resin and foam bases, Honestly Resin is very hard to make but its awesome when washing it :D. My foam head Is almost perfect )Just dificult to wash and dry rather then resin(
Thank you for this vid
I plan on making some or helping my friend make some so this helps a lot!!
I think outdoorpaws with the bottom made out of hard wood like beech would be a good option
I’m thinking about making my own fursuit and this helps :) thanks my good potato sir
Resin heads are also a Risk. Say a kid books your node too hard, that hard material, if not foam padded, the material can really hurt you or cut you if it created impact on your face
This video will be great help for others like me
This was really facinating video and i learned some thing as well i enjoyed watching my friend
bro u are amazing this helped me alot ! I needed to know the stuff for the eyes and fur tysm !
I am making my first fur suit, its a simple yet problematic design (Kemono cat head) I've got a long ways to go, and I'm a few weeks in. body double and bust made, leg pillows, hands, and head still need done before I can skin.
Edit, feet are ready for fur and tested that they wont just fall apart lol
Awesome vid Stormi, as always!
I will use foam for my digilegs because I think it’s easier to work with and I will glue it into yoga pants.
Resin bases are good for ones with scales
I don’t know that there was that many different types of fur that really cool🤩
2:35 wow i cud Actually see ur eye XD
I saw you talking about the nearest con to you is emerald fur sumit and I live super close to it to just kinda thought that was cool
Thanks stormi!
I was thinking of becoming a fursuit maker when I’m older! I’ll use theese tips for when I am!
Thank you! So very informative...
Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
All my memories gather round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
I hear her voice, in the morning hour she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And driving down the road I get a feeling
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Take me home, down country roads
Take me home, down country roads
Good job on this one Stormi, I made my own fursuit using many of the same materials
UR CHANNEL IS UNDERRATED cuz just 171 likes and like 25,000 SUBS?! where are the others!!
I love ur fur suit!
I was dead laughing when you said stormi the potato
Im obsessed with the fuckin animated intro omigodd
You can 3D print skull bases with ventilation holes made by Tioh on a 3D print download website called thingiverse it's a completely safe website and to edit the size I recommend using a website called Tinkercad it's free and you only need to create a account on it Tioh has many bases to download such as Fox, Dragon, and Cartoon Canine. Hopefully this helps
Its very hard and very costly for me (a 13 year old) but im a stubborn lil guy keep up the good work!!!
STROMI WASSS UPP!!!
Wow mate I didn't know that there was so many materials to a fursuit :3❤️ (I know fur, foaming, and the different types of eyes 😊)
There i go making 60 molotovs again, thanks for the info mate
*god has uploaded*
4:05 finally! Someone who knows what a balaclava is idk why so many people dont lol
Stormi: I'm stormi the potato!
Me: *my whole life is a lie....*
3:01 this should be the thumbnail
I imagine you look like Mark Crilley under there. So I just pictured a younger version of Crilley saying 'balaclava', which was actually kinda cute tbh.
Omg thank you for making this video imma ask my mom to get me the suplieses for a fursute
I've been staring at that piece of string on your snoot this whole time. Now I gotta rewatch the whole thing to actually pay attention X'D
I love your suit
I was just about to ask you about balaclavas then I saw this video which gave me the info I needed! I saw many fursuiters wearing them at anthro east and I was confused.
BALACLAVAS ARE FOREVER!
Love your videos!
This is very helpful (but I have to wait till I have money to make a fursuit) and also I can very much relate to the winter thing XD
