Fursuit Thread V2 OPEN (New Poll)

Alright, so I spoke with my Mom about it (as I said she's really good with this kinda stuff) and she said that it'd be alright if I put it in the wash with the cold water settings and let it air dry. It is now in the wash, so no turning back now. I had also added a bit of stain remover stuff. So yup, crossing my fingers xD Another reason my Mom said it'd be a good idea to put in the wash rather then spot clean it is that it would get all the "extra" fur out (the stuff that always comes out when you hold the fur up xD)

Does anyone have any reccomendations for gloves to wear under your handpaws?
Also, anyone know how to straighten out plastic whiskers? My head has some but they got a little bent during shipping.

You could try bowling gloves. They're meant to keep the sweat off of your hands when you're bowling, but I think they would work just as well in handpaws.
As for straightening the whiskers, you could try heating them up a little with a blow dryer, and straightening them out as they cool down. You have to be careful not to heat them up too much though, as they can warp, so keep the blow dryer on low heat and work slowly. There's also the hot water method, but considering that they're already attached to the head, that might not be the best idea.

Alrighty, so the fur is currently now air drying and it actually got most of the stain(s) out!! The biggest one there was is now more like the barely noticeable ones, one of them is still a tad there, and then the last one is completely gone c:

I plan on making paws as a start, it will be absolutely terrible but It's my first fursuit experience!

Same!! That would be loads of fun.

I have one pair of paws I’ve made, and they didn’t turn out too bad. I obsessively researched and watched tons of tutorials to make sure I got it right. I can post pictures if you’d like, of the handpaws I made?

Now feetpaws...I have no idea how to go about that, haha.

Ah I’d love to do this myself, but correct me if I’m wrong- isn’t that illegal? Most places like that don’t allow for full masks or anything so that if you’re a criminal or start shoplifting they can identify you.
I’ve honestly tried to go to Walmart with my furhead before too, but my parents gave me a long-winded speech on reasons why I can’t ^^;;
It would be really fun though! Perhaps a park or something? More children would probably be there anyway, haha

From what I’ve heard, you have to call ahead to wherever you’re going and ask if it would be okay, and usually it’s fine if you explain and plan in advance.

^ Yeah, it depends on the place. Some stores will be fine with it and some aren't so it's always best to call ahead of time and ask if it's ok. Plenty of people go out suiting in public places with no issues.
