FAUX FUR & FABRICS - BIG Z FABRIC
Sometimes its the little things, and this is my favorite little spool of heavy duty thread!
HEAVY DUTY THREAD
To use for patterning the base. i love the 3M tape much more than Duck brand tape, its not too sticky or too tough to tear, but sticks to what you want it to great and isn't super stringy.
DUCT TAPE
DETAILS
the little things that make it all come to life!
black felt for eyeliner
EYELINER FELT
easy to paint on and has great vision. it also claims to be dye sublimation ready but i haven't tested that personally. i use acrylic paint and posca markers!
EYE MESH
i highly prefer using posca markers to paint eye details to traditional acrylic paint and brushes.
POSCA PAINT MARKERS
The plastic I use for fursuit eyes. Good thickness, easy to cut, doesn't scratch or scuff too easily.
EYE PLASTIC
EQUIPTMENT
the stuff i use all the time!
the various nozzle options are awesome and the extra long one is my personal favorite for getting into tiny crevices!
HOT GLUE GUN
the extra long glue sticks save so much hassle to not have to reload all the time!
GLUE STICKS
i've had these clippers for nearly a decade now and they hold up to everything i ask them to shave and does it smoothly.
ANDIS PROFESSIONAL ULTRAEDGE CLIPPERS
this lovely machine sews through everything you'd need it to for making masks!
SINGER HEAVY DUTY SEWING MACHINE
if you've never tried sewing clips, this is your sign! great for hand sewing and machine sewing, and even clamping small parts you're gluing together! i love these clips.
