Question

How would you cut the toes with scissors?

Tianna Schwindel

Community Answer

To cut the toe shape, you can outline with a marker then carve them down using scissors. you just cut off small bits of foam at a time until you have the desired shape you want.

Question

How will the paws stay on your hands and work like they are hands?

Tianna Schwindel

Community Answer

The hand paws work sort of like large gloves, so they will stay on your hands as long as you are not taking them off. They allow you to move your fingers easily, just like you would if you were wearing a glove.

Question

Can I use normal glue for my fursuit or do I need a glue gun to do it?

Tianna Schwindel

Community Answer

A glue gun will be your best bet, as it dries firm and is very hard to remove from the foam. Normal glue will just seep into the foam, and then the fur will not adhere.

Question

Is the feet tutorial for this meant for outdoor fursuit feet, or indoor fursuit feet?

Bear

Community Answer

The EVA foam will protect the feet from the concrete and grass so it can be used outdoors. But if you would like indoor feet, you could cover the bottom with fur and shave it down really short and if you want, you could use some more vinyl and make some flat paw pads.

Question

Where does my fifth finger go since there are only four fingers in the suit?

Willow the Leopard

Community Answer

Your fifth finger will go paired with another, like your ring finger and your pinky or your middle and pointer.

Instead of fur, can you use anything else?

Kael Olson

You can use whatever you want! Your Fursona is up to you. Fur is just a general example and is easy to work with.

Question

How do I make paws with two fur colors?

Kael Olson

Community Answer

You would need to sew the two colors together after cutting them in the pattern you want. You could check out the article How to Join Materials Together to do that. Then just follow the normal steps.

Question

I don't have access to a sewing machine or electronic knife. Too expensive. Can I hand sew everything and use a regular knife?

Sukidaredpanda14

Community Answer

Yes. A razor knife is an alternative. Mark it with a marker and carve. You can hand sew.

Question

What if I can't get foam right now? Is there something I can substitute it with?

Sukidaredpanda14

Community Answer

You can use a liquid foam called flex foam but remember it's for adults due to toxic fumes
