I’m a younger furry and I would love to commission someone someday for a mini partial, but it’s still so expensive 0-0… I made a fursuit head and paws for halloween and it was pretty fun! I couldn’t sew anything so I hot glued fabric to my foam base, but it turned out ok for my first time. For any parents reading my comment, just getting some half inch foam, various fabrics, and a hot glue gun to make a head is a good start :) it’s not extremely expensive and your kid can get crafty
heh, that’s exactly me! I don’t have stuff for fur suits so I tried my best with stuff I have! Even tho it’s not really close its pretty fun to do!! (Also I made it for a Halloween costume too!)
@@Mapple318 oh- instead of a dinomask, I just bought a cat head which surprisingly was only 48 dollars, along with an ears and tail which added total to 80 dollars.. 😶 it looked really good though

As a parent fur, dino masks are also great alternatives! I have a 12 year old daughter who's also a furry and she uses a dino mask, their really cheap and you can adjust them if they get too tight, too loose, etc. I've let her wear my suit a couple times and she's decided she wants a suit too but since she's still growing, I just handed her a dino mask from Target and she's been obsessed with it ever since.
That’s just awesome! Your daughters pretty lucky, my mom absolutely despises furries sadly :( my dads fine with it, but hopefully i can make a suit soon!
@@kole3616 yeah I’m thankful for that! it’s tough, cause i love my mom, but she thinks its a whole sexual thing which sucks, and I’m also a teenager so she likely thinks teenagers just wanna be involved in bad stuff lol. hopefully some time she’ll understand what it really is, and it’ll be all good.

hey! I'm a 17-year-old, and I've been in the fandom since I was 12, and I just wanted to quickly talk about my experience as a younger fur. my dad was incredibly supportive on top of taking me to conventions and encouraging my creativity he also bought me a fursuit at 14! after seeing how much I saw begging for a suit and after I did enough chores to at least cover half, he let me go on fur buy, and I picked out a pre-owned suit for 300$. this was a birthday gift and I love them to this day. (and yes I did do a big refurb on them a couple months ago lol.) I never out-grew the suit and it actually fits me better now. not saying every parent can or should do this but this was an awesome gift from my dad. and now that I'm older I'm a fursuit maker and plan to go into film and TV production and costumes!

I’m a young fur (who is still growing lol) and right now I’m working on a dinomask and paws, I very much recommend dinomasks if you wanna make a partial! (that will probably last longer as well, and it’s fun making it yourself and less expensive then buying a full suit lol)

Thanks for the honest recommendation for parents to stay away from buying a full suit, even if money is not the problem. You are alternatives look really fun! Not just for kids, but just about anyone on a low budget to try some things out and see what feels right.
@@Broimdead3721 the fandom is very welcoming and super nice! we do get alot of hate but overall ive loved the community since ive been in it for 2 yrs (no, you don't need a fursuit to be a furry)I definitely reccomend joining and possibly making a dino mask/fursuit yourself! Not forcing anything but i hope you join our community! :3
I joined the fandom at the scary age of 11, and I really wanted a fursuit. Luckily my parents didn't let me buy one, instead told me if I really wanted one that I had to make it myself. I put all of my holiday / birthday money into making silly animal costumes, I have no regrets.
If I had a kid I know, genetically, they would be done growing by 15. Nothing younger than that. They would have choose tho. New phone or mini partial. Gotta choose.
2:26 anyone who is looking for a dinomask, READ THE DESCRIPTION! the one on the screen is a latex one and is extremely floppy and hard to wear. Always check the description. It shouldn't have like 833082 paragraphs saying "ROLEPLAY KIDS DINOSAUR JURRASIC PARK FUN PLAY TOY DINOSAUR LATEX" Most likely they are scams.
A dino mask is a good first fursuit for a child. They are decently cheap, and easy to make yourself, and because they are decently easy to make yourself, you can always redo them when your head gets too big
I'm 13 (almost said 12...my birthday was literally yesterday lmao) and as much as I'd love a fursuit, there's a lot of reasons I haven't asked 1. My parents don't know I'm a furry (they're super supportive but I still worry what they'd think/if they even know what a furry is) 2. They're so expensive 3. Where would I even use it?? I'm too socially awkward to go to conventions or even just wear a suit in public I really want these cool customizable cosplay ears that move but I haven't asked about those either for the same reasons :,) maybe one day when I'm older and have enough money I'll get a fursuit, I'd love a suit of my fursona :D
Im a younger furry and ive always wanted to have a fursuit of my oc ( mystery, the dragon in my pfp) so in the summer i started searching for a maker i could comission but it was to expensive so now i started working on a partial. I finished the tail and the head ( i made the head with a dino mask and it worked pretty well ) and now all i gotta do are the paws
I’m a child with a partial suit and I have to remake my paws at least every two years and that is the only reason I don’t have a full fursuit I agree with these ideas completely!
Hey! I love the paper mask super cute, another slightly higher quality idea is like what I did for my niece a few years back, you can find patterns for "3D paper craft masks" Wintercroft being the big seller, for roughly $10 you get a pattern you can print on your own and then use stronger either cardstock or cardboard (old cereal boxes are perfect) and you can actually make a really cool mask that you can paint like their fursona!
So I'm 15 and I have a first suit head and if you want a fursut that BADLY you should just get a head or a premade head since you're probably not going to grow out of it In the time that it is being made
I'm a young fur and I'm going to get a partial fursuit. ( I'm the girl with the lamb fursona ). I will get a head, hooves attached to fluffly sleeves, and a tail. :)
i'm 11 and i am a furry. Idon't know why so many people hate furries. They are litterally just people in fursuits. I don't have a fursuit yet but i'm gonna make one myself when i'm 18. Your fursuit is cute btw❤️
I'm 13 and I plan on making one, I just need to subtlety ask my parents for supplies without them knowing I'm a furry even tho they probably already know bc they've seen my pfp
well if they saw your pfp then they might know, and considering that they havent been giving you any trouble, they might support it. better to have the talk with them as opposed to try to hide it from them, them finding out and being left to their own conclusions as to what being Furry means.
While I have been around the same weight and height for 4 years (5’2 and 122lb) I will wait,especially since my diet might actually improve and I can eat more foods without gagging it out
kigus might be a good option as well! my kigu still fits me and i've had it since i was about 12, and i'm 17 now :3 custom ones can be pretty pricey, but ones from SAZAC are about 69-100USD
I'm making my one fur suit head and I'm 10 and it's only 50 pounds! Would definitely recommend making your own because there expensive like for 100-500 pounds. I used a Dino mask, purple fur, blue and black fabric paper , glue and some foam
Hey I want an opinion on this! While still a minor, I'm done growing. (Confirmed by the fact that I haven't grown at all in the past 3 years, and by doctors) AND I don't think I'm gonna leave the fandom (as I've been a furry for what 7-8 years now) While, I'm not gonna get/make a full suit yet (due it being my first and wanting to see if I like suiting first) do you think getting/makeing a partial or mini partial would be okay?
I am a young fur and told my parents about the fandom,so they got me some foam+fur and everything else and I am making my own fursuit! Highly recommended as it is way cheaper than commissioning a fursuit (I’m only making a partial - head,hand paws,tail and feet paws)
Another thing to pair with ears and tail is a shirt/pants/other outfit! A regular white sweater could be colored to match the fursona, then to top off the outfit, make up!
As somebody who actually puts a maximum amount of effort into anything, i can assure you that if you don’t want a fursuit (meaning don’t want the expensive crap) then a mask is definitely the way to go. Even so, making a mask that goes on the front of your face and simply carving the muzzle and ears and such out of foam, this can be applied to the mask and can be made into a mini fursuit head! i definitely think it’s a really cute way to introduce yourself to the fandom, and it stands as baby steps to making and or purchasing a real one.
I bought my fullsuit at 15 yrs and I'd been done growing since 12 😭 and it was only $800 so I got lucky (it was a premade) Going on 4 years and I still love my suit
that's lucky! but ya, if it was my money i wouldn't want to waste it. you never know when there'll be a growth spurt and suddenly you're out hundreds of dollars 🫠
@@zeekayart oh I definitely agree!! I'd been waiting 10 years lol 🤣 and I am still glad I made the decision but I know it's often not as simple. Most kids grow until they're out of highschool
Honestly you might still grow 😂 your body is not done growing until 26. You most likely won’t but it is a possibility. I think I actually grew an inch somewhere in my 20s lol
Sorry one more piece of advice. Cut UNDER the fur only cutting the fabric part not cutting with the scissors going over all of it. So slide the top part of the scissors between the fur sticking out and the fabric part. Will save you hair going everywhere AND it will flow nicer
ya, that would be way better than commissioning one from a maker. learning how to sew and make something is the best!! i sewed plush by hand when i was a teenager and that was so fun. plus you won't be waiting for years to get your suit, and you'll know how to fix it if you outgrow it.
I see your mom's point, fursuits can be quite expensive and you are most likely going to grow out of it. Maybe you could make your own or wait till you're older? Right now I'm 13 and I'm trying to make my own after 3 years of FACS..
I'm 22, and uh I'd wait. Maybe do the dinomask route? And you can customize it? It's a good early fursuit, my first suits coming in and it's gonna be a dino mask fursuit!
I know this is an older video but another cheap, fun way to bring your characters to life are paper dragon puppets! Traditionally they're dragons, but they don't always have to be as I have seen some very cute protogen/animal puppets ^^ They're fairly easy too, there's a bunch of tutorials online
Another note of why kids shoudn't get a fursuit is that it might be just a passing by hobbie, we All had some interest as kids that today we just don't like or can't enjoy it like we used to; Oh also a fursuit is a fine Luxury, kids go outside and roll on the DIRT! they are going to break the suit before they grow out of it;; - But if that is not the case then is good for them to not try a full fursuit yet cuz we all need a little practice before wearing the big deal. Ears and tail are by their own a little unconfortable so with time they will experience a little bit of it preparing for the big one. * Halloween animal outfits it's another good alternative, cheap easy to wear good enough for them to get together with Other Kids and play around I truly am sad to see kids in furry conventions, sure they might have a little fun with a few fursuiters but.. they are mostly the Only kid around.;; kids should play with others and just u know run around destroy their cheap lil animal outfit no big money wasted and they get to experience it
To those reccomending cardboard as a material- Please please PLEASE dont put cardboard around your face! It is VERY dangerous, as toxic molds can grow, risking hospitalization. Sometimes this can even KILL you. Please keep yourself and others safe!!
@@zeekayart oh no your ideas are perfectly okay!!! I just saw a lot of comments reccomending cardboard boxes and i internally panicked. The last thing i want to hear of is a young fur tragedy! I believe that paper mask idea is actually perfect bc it allows the paper to get proper airflow and plenty of light :]
I’m i young furry and I’m just buying a mini partial. Mom is buying it for my birthday so I can wear it for Halloween because my birthday is two days from Halloween and I’m gonna get some Paul’s might just make it myself my grandma’s gonna take me to a Joannes and Michael’s so I can just get materials so either I get the partial order I just make it myself because my cousins making a full suit for her self she’s older and yeah!
NOTE:I DON'T RECOMMEND PAPER FURSUITS AS IF IT GETS TO MUCH MOISTURE IT COULD GROW MOLD AND IF YOU BREATH IT IN IT COULD KILL YOU, stay safe fellow young furs!
I am young and still growing I have a dino mask and its one of the best options I have had it for almost a year now and it still fits me and I am getting another one for my birthday so I definitely recommend
Im an 11 year old girl, and I'm new to the fandom and I wish I had a fursuit, and my furonsa is an angel snowfox, and can you make a fursuit for me please?
I was wondering, since I’m 10, (started being a furry when I was 7) do you have any tips? I’m incredibly gifted with creating stuff so I’m already making myself a partial. (Beginning furring head) I’m thinking on getting a full when I’m 16 and getting a partial from Eastern Dragon Studios when I’m 13-14 because they’re based in Melbourne! (I live there) and I’m saving for a moving tail from The Tail Company
I will be getting a partial suit,so I can also dress my fursona however I like! So, I will be getting hand and feet paws and hopefully a tail from the tail company! [ They're amazing! ] I have a dinomask and a therian mask. My dinomask is very easy to breathe in while my therian mask isn't, but my therian mask is comfortable to put on my face, not like my dinomask. I was actually thinking about furring my therian mask, but I really dont know, haha.
I'm 17 turning 18 next year, and I do wanna get a fursuit but I don't know whether I'll like suiting or not due to the fact it's pretty hot inside of it and I have asthma and bronquitis. Is there any way that I can sort of "test" it out to see if I like fursuting or not? I don't have any furry friends in real life who have fursuits so it's kinda hard. Any tips?
If it helps make sure it's def got proper ventilation. Some people will certain styles. I'm a similar issue, and I'll probably never have a full suit because of it. But am getting a dino mask head and I have the paws and tail for it.
Hi, my name is Vivy. I'm in the sixth grade, and like you, I had to take the diagnostic. The results of the diagnostic decides what lessons you get. The diagnostic shows what you know, and what you need to work on. I remember the last diagnostic I took, it was hard.The diagnostic will feel challenging, you may see questions you don't know how to answer because you haven't learned them.There were some questions I knew and some questions I didn't know, but I didn't give up. I tried my best and moved on. When I finished I got lessons that were right for me. The diagnostic is not a typical test. Not all students will see the same questions, every student should get around half the questions correct, that's okay!Some of my friends rushed and got lessons that weren't right for them, they asked me what I did. Here are five things I shared with them I didn't give up. Some of the questions may seem tricky but I made sure to read the whole question. Some of the questions I didn't know the answer too after thinking hard and working the problem on a piece of paper. I took my best guess. Before I hit the done button, I checked my answer to make sure it was right. I changed a few of my answers the way I took my time, once I finished really fast but then got lessons that weren't right for me. Warning some students guess without reading the choices, if you do this you may get lessons that are too easy for you and will be a waste of your time, you may even have to take it again. You might wanna give up or rush, don't. If you try your best you might get the right lessons for you.
I some reason have this story that happened a few weeks ago a proud of 16 year olds was crowding around his kid and she was stomping on some fur ears in a water puddle and they were chanting... STOP BEING FURRY STOP BEING A FURRY (wth)
I saw a kid with a really cute dino mask at a con and it honestly looked like she was having the time of her life!! It was probably the sweetest interaction I've had ever
I actually want to make a kemono fursuit head and paws even though I’m 11, yes,I’m young. But I plan for it to be more oversized so I can grow and still fit so if it doesn’t fit me right away ill know I can possibly grow into it. At the moment I have 2 dino masks, one is a main the other is a random one
Yeah I’m a young fur and I am almost done with my Dino mask and I furred it and added huge ears and I’ll probably make a tail with it but I’m probably not going to make the paws yet!!
My 19 year old sister is making partials and ATM see working on her very first fursuit,I'm 10 almost 11 and she says she doesn't like the pursuit head she's making,I said I would take it when its finished and she agreed! She's starting commissions when she gets better,the pursuit head shes making for me is so cool!and seems hq! She said maybe she will make me paws!
Hi I’m 11 years old don’t ask how I’m on this app I’m curious would a Dino mask be a good Idea I don’t want a full fursuit I am quite keen on this hobby bye
I love this so much! I'm on the younger side of the spectrum and obviously since suits are quite expensive i cant afford one,however with these options we can still express ourselves,I'm currently in the process of making a partial right now anyways,but I know many people who cant make them (like my friend) because either their parents don't trust them or they don't have the money for it and so on! I just absolutely love this,Thanks!
I know that my 8 year old sister has a partial fursuit and her grandma actually made that fursuit and did not my experience at all and the fursuit came out pretty good
i just finished the (3 finger) axolotl paws the tail and the head (axolotl cat hybrid) all i need to do is put reinforcement for the tail and get fabric mesh and paint for the eyes. i'm gonna wear it to the armageddon costume competition. also my little sister looks cute in it
I agree with you I do want paws I could make my own my hands look like adult hands so like yeah I always wear a dino mask and years and tail I know its not a fursuit but its something right??? Yeah I agree with you
I’m under 16 (a newer furry, I just joined the fandom like last year) I’m making a head by myself instead of buying one, because it wouldn’t make sense to buy something that doesn’t fit… I’m making my own so if it doesn’t fit I’ll fix it-
that's the best option honestly. because then after spending $2000 on something and not having it fit, you also won't be able to alter it yourself. if you're learning the skills involved - it's just better for everyone! make sure you have an adult with you for all the safety stuff!
I wonder if you can specialize a mini partial for a growing child? Remove pads as they grow. Or copy the cardboard Panda idea in Turning red. Instead of a red panda, it's your fursona. Similar to the paper mask, but a little more durable. 😊
IDEA WHAT IF YOU WERE TO COVER A DINO MASK WITH FOAM AND FUR AS IF YOU WERE MAKING A ACHUAL FURSUIT IVE SEEN PEOPLE DO THAT BEFORE SO THAT WOULD TECHNICALLY BE A FURSUIT “ IM NOT YELLING BTW I JUST FEEL MOST COMFORTABLE SPEAKING IN CAPS “
@@Chicken_Gaming_Roblox I wasn't tryna be rude, I was just saying this incase a person does not have target or another store that sells dino masks around and they wanna order from amazon.

I joined the fandom at the scary age of 11, and I really wanted a fursuit. Luckily my parents didn't let me buy one, instead told me if I really wanted one that I had to make it myself.
I put all of my holiday / birthday money into making silly animal costumes, I have no regrets.
If I had a kid I know, genetically, they would be done growing by 15. Nothing younger than that. They would have choose tho. New phone or mini partial. Gotta choose.
ya, sometimes there are variations tho. i would personally only say after 18 is safe. but that's because i don't want to lose any money 😂
@@zeekayart very true. You gotta protect you livelihood 🙂
2:26 anyone who is looking for a dinomask, READ THE DESCRIPTION! the one on the screen is a latex one and is extremely floppy and hard to wear. Always check the description. It shouldn't have like 833082 paragraphs saying "ROLEPLAY KIDS DINOSAUR JURRASIC PARK FUN PLAY TOY DINOSAUR LATEX" Most likely they are scams.
added a pinned comment, sorry about that :O
@@zeekayart yuss
A dino mask is a good first fursuit for a child. They are decently cheap, and easy to make yourself, and because they are decently easy to make yourself, you can always redo them when your head gets too big
But those things scare me.
@@HeathRat They scare me too-
@@rexycowmcWith eyes they don't look too bad but without...

I'm 13 (almost said 12...my birthday was literally yesterday lmao) and as much as I'd love a fursuit, there's a lot of reasons I haven't asked
1. My parents don't know I'm a furry (they're super supportive but I still worry what they'd think/if they even know what a furry is)
2. They're so expensive
3. Where would I even use it?? I'm too socially awkward to go to conventions or even just wear a suit in public
I really want these cool customizable cosplay ears that move but I haven't asked about those either for the same reasons :,) maybe one day when I'm older and have enough money I'll get a fursuit, I'd love a suit of my fursona :D
Im a younger furry and ive always wanted to have a fursuit of my oc ( mystery, the dragon in my pfp) so in the summer i started searching for a maker i could comission but it was to expensive so now i started working on a partial. I finished the tail and the head ( i made the head with a dino mask and it worked pretty well ) and now all i gotta do are the paws
I’m a child with a partial suit and I have to remake my paws at least every two years and that is the only reason I don’t have a full fursuit I agree with these ideas completely!
hey, do you have socials where you post your suit? i would really love to see it! :3
I'm a young fur with paws ears and a tail :)
I also have a non-furry cosplay
Hey! I love the paper mask super cute, another slightly higher quality idea is like what I did for my niece a few years back, you can find patterns for "3D paper craft masks" Wintercroft being the big seller, for roughly $10 you get a pattern you can print on your own and then use stronger either cardstock or cardboard (old cereal boxes are perfect) and you can actually make a really cool mask that you can paint like their fursona!
love this idea too!!
So I'm 15 and I have a first suit head and if you want a fursut that BADLY you should just get a head or a premade head since you're probably not going to grow out of it In the time that it is being made
I'm a young fur and I'm going to get a partial fursuit. ( I'm the girl with the lamb fursona ). I will get a head, hooves attached to fluffly sleeves, and a tail. :)
i'm 11 and i am a furry. Idon't know why so many people hate furries. They are litterally just people in fursuits. I don't have a fursuit yet but i'm gonna make one myself when i'm 18. Your fursuit is cute btw❤️
Furry haters think they're "gigachads" for harassing innocent people, I just don't get it..
Why wait until 18 only to make it? You can do it with your parents.
Mostly Dino masks are good for children cause they can like paint so I think that would be fun for kids
I love furries and I would like to be one, but all my friends bully me and hate me for it. What should I do?
i guess so, they've been with me every other moment of my life but they hate furries.. :
I'm 13 and I plan on making one, I just need to subtlety ask my parents for supplies without them knowing I'm a furry even tho they probably already know bc they've seen my pfp
well if they saw your pfp then they might know, and considering that they havent been giving you any trouble, they might support it. better to have the talk with them as opposed to try to hide it from them, them finding out and being left to their own conclusions as to what being Furry means.
While I have been around the same weight and height for 4 years (5’2 and 122lb) I will wait,especially since my diet might actually improve and I can eat more foods without gagging it out
ya, most people recommend waiting until you are at least 18 unless your family has a history of late growth spurts
kigus might be a good option as well! my kigu still fits me and i've had it since i was about 12, and i'm 17 now :3
custom ones can be pretty pricey, but ones from SAZAC are about 69-100USD
i love kigurumis! not dangerous to wear for hours either 😂
I'm making my one fur suit head and I'm 10 and it's only 50 pounds! Would definitely recommend making your own because there expensive like for 100-500 pounds. I used a Dino mask, purple fur, blue and black fabric paper , glue and some foam
I can AGREE with getting the rapotor coustume it is and always will be the best choice instead of a fursuit !
they look super fun!
Hey I want an opinion on this!
While still a minor, I'm done growing. (Confirmed by the fact that I haven't grown at all in the past 3 years, and by doctors) AND I don't think I'm gonna leave the fandom (as I've been a furry for what 7-8 years now)
While, I'm not gonna get/make a full suit yet (due it being my first and wanting to see if I like suiting first) do you think getting/makeing a partial or mini partial would be okay?
you just have to come to terms with not being able to wear it ever again if you do grow out of it unfortunately. it's a lot safer to just wait.
I am a young fur and told my parents about the fandom,so they got me some foam+fur and everything else and I am making my own fursuit! Highly recommended as it is way cheaper than commissioning a fursuit (I’m only making a partial - head,hand paws,tail and feet paws)
Another thing to pair with ears and tail is a shirt/pants/other outfit!
A regular white sweater could be colored to match the fursona, then to top off the outfit, make up!
I’m not really a furry but I really enjoy your videos and your fur suit is very cute ☺️
haha thank you!
bro, you might be a furry
@@Mrsh5 oop-
As somebody who actually puts a maximum amount of effort into anything, i can assure you that if you don’t want a fursuit (meaning don’t want the expensive crap) then a mask is definitely the way to go. Even so, making a mask that goes on the front of your face and simply carving the muzzle and ears and such out of foam, this can be applied to the mask and can be made into a mini fursuit head! i definitely think it’s a really cute way to introduce yourself to the fandom, and it stands as baby steps to making and or purchasing a real one.
Dude that little wave at the end just made me tear up lol ^-^ dunno why im such a dork haha
hahah thank you
I bought my fullsuit at 15 yrs and I'd been done growing since 12 😭 and it was only $800 so I got lucky (it was a premade)
Going on 4 years and I still love my suit
that's lucky! but ya, if it was my money i wouldn't want to waste it. you never know when there'll be a growth spurt and suddenly you're out hundreds of dollars 🫠
@@zeekayart oh I definitely agree!! I'd been waiting 10 years lol 🤣 and I am still glad I made the decision but I know it's often not as simple. Most kids grow until they're out of highschool
im gonna get a fursuit this christmas
but im still growing should i get a parshal or a mini parshal
I think if it's a head, tail and paws it'll be better, just probably not footpaws or a bodysuit.
I’m almost 16 and plan to make my own fursuit soon. Thankfully I stopped growing around 7-8th grade *cries in 5,1”*
Honestly you might still grow 😂 your body is not done growing until 26. You most likely won’t but it is a possibility. I think I actually grew an inch somewhere in my 20s lol
Also I would highly recommend making a very cheap mock one first! Lol have fun with it too! Costume making is exciting!
Sorry one more piece of advice. Cut UNDER the fur only cutting the fabric part not cutting with the scissors going over all of it. So slide the top part of the scissors between the fur sticking out and the fabric part. Will save you hair going everywhere AND it will flow nicer
@@daisiesforghosts Thanks for the advice man!
I would say have them make the fursuit. I do this and I have so many more skills :D
And you know your sona the best ;)
ya, that would be way better than commissioning one from a maker. learning how to sew and make something is the best!! i sewed plush by hand when i was a teenager and that was so fun. plus you won't be waiting for years to get your suit, and you'll know how to fix it if you outgrow it.
@@zeekayart And have extra fur you know matches 100%
And then you can make money
I am 8 and my mom won’t let me get a fursuit but I really like fursuits and furrys there so cute!
I see your mom's point, fursuits can be quite expensive and you are most likely going to grow out of it. Maybe you could make your own or wait till you're older? Right now I'm 13 and I'm trying to make my own after 3 years of FACS..
@@shrekisba3 ok thanks for explaining! You help me a lot!
you can try and make one, but know that supplies for a simple partial could cost about $150, i hope you get to wear a fursuit one day
@@mothballswallower thanks!
I'm 22, and uh I'd wait. Maybe do the dinomask route? And you can customize it? It's a good early fursuit, my first suits coming in and it's gonna be a dino mask fursuit!
Oh gos, now they’re doing it to children.
There’s this kid in my school who where’s wolf ears to school everyday. I don’t got the confidence to do something like that😭
@jrocha1102 that was my original plan
@jrocha1102 nice!
I know this is an older video but another cheap, fun way to bring your characters to life are paper dragon puppets! Traditionally they're dragons, but they don't always have to be as I have seen some very cute protogen/animal puppets ^^ They're fairly easy too, there's a bunch of tutorials online
A partial fursuit would probably be okay for a child
can you get a kid a fursuit head? you could jam some foam in if its a bit big ?
i think i found my new favorite furry channel
Another note of why kids shoudn't get a fursuit is that it might be just a passing by hobbie, we All had some interest as kids that today we just don't like or can't enjoy it like we used to; Oh also a fursuit is a fine Luxury, kids go outside and roll on the DIRT! they are going to break the suit before they grow out of it;;
- But if that is not the case then is good for them to not try a full fursuit yet cuz we all need a little practice before wearing the big deal. Ears and tail are by their own a little unconfortable so with time they will experience a little bit of it preparing for the big one.
* Halloween animal outfits it's another good alternative, cheap easy to wear good enough for them to get together with Other Kids and play around
I truly am sad to see kids in furry conventions, sure they might have a little fun with a few fursuiters but.. they are mostly the Only kid around.;; kids should play with others and just u know run around destroy their cheap lil animal outfit no big money wasted and they get to experience it
To those reccomending cardboard as a material- Please please PLEASE dont put cardboard around your face! It is VERY dangerous, as toxic molds can grow, risking hospitalization. Sometimes this can even KILL you. Please keep yourself and others safe!!
ya, it's just for one or two times. i'm not recommending using it forever. cardboard masks are disposable/ can be used as art!
@@zeekayart oh no your ideas are perfectly okay!!! I just saw a lot of comments reccomending cardboard boxes and i internally panicked. The last thing i want to hear of is a young fur tragedy! I believe that paper mask idea is actually perfect bc it allows the paper to get proper airflow and plenty of light :]
I’m i young furry and I’m just buying a mini partial. Mom is buying it for my birthday so I can wear it for Halloween because my birthday is two days from Halloween and I’m gonna get some Paul’s might just make it myself my grandma’s gonna take me to a Joannes and Michael’s so I can just get materials so either I get the partial order I just make it myself because my cousins making a full suit for her self she’s older and yeah!
Dude I'm jealous of your birthday october birthday so close to Halloween?
To be honest I want a fursuit SO BAD that I am making my own head.
NOTE:I DON'T RECOMMEND PAPER FURSUITS AS IF IT GETS TO MUCH MOISTURE IT COULD GROW MOLD AND IF YOU BREATH IT IN IT COULD KILL YOU, stay safe fellow young furs!
ya, i mention this in my comments. don't wear it for a long time - it's more of a toss it after it's used or hang it up on the wall sorta thing.
I am young and still growing I have a dino mask and its one of the best options I have had it for almost a year now and it still fits me and I am getting another one for my birthday so I definitely recommend
Im an 11 year old girl, and I'm new to the fandom and I wish I had a fursuit, and my furonsa is an angel snowfox, and can you make a fursuit for me please?
You can't just ask people to make you a fursuit for free...
get em a con badge, that's always a good way to break em in
I get that full fursuits shouldnt be bought at a young age, but can just heads be bought? im 11, and im saving up money to get a fursuit head.
I was wondering, since I’m 10, (started being a furry when I was 7) do you have any tips? I’m incredibly gifted with creating stuff so I’m already making myself a partial. (Beginning furring head) I’m thinking on getting a full when I’m 16 and getting a partial from Eastern Dragon Studios when I’m 13-14 because they’re based in Melbourne! (I live there) and I’m saving for a moving tail from The Tail Company
I will be getting a partial suit,so I can also dress my fursona however I like! So, I will be getting hand and feet paws and hopefully a tail from the tail company! [ They're amazing! ] I have a dinomask and a therian mask. My dinomask is very easy to breathe in while my therian mask isn't, but my therian mask is comfortable to put on my face, not like my dinomask. I was actually thinking about furring my therian mask, but I really dont know, haha.
I'm 17 turning 18 next year, and I do wanna get a fursuit but I don't know whether I'll like suiting or not due to the fact it's pretty hot inside of it and I have asthma and bronquitis. Is there any way that I can sort of "test" it out to see if I like fursuting or not? I don't have any furry friends in real life who have fursuits so it's kinda hard. Any tips?
i'm not too sure, might want to ask your doctor tbh if it's serious 😅
@@zeekayart oh okay! Thank you anyway
If it helps make sure it's def got proper ventilation. Some people will certain styles. I'm a similar issue, and I'll probably never have a full suit because of it. But am getting a dino mask head and I have the paws and tail for it.
Hi, my name is Vivy. I'm in the sixth grade, and like you, I had to take the diagnostic.
The results of the diagnostic decides what lessons you get. The diagnostic shows what you know, and what you need to work on. I remember the last diagnostic I took, it was hard.The diagnostic will feel challenging, you may see questions you don't know how to answer because you haven't learned them.There were some questions I knew and some questions I didn't know, but I didn't give up. I tried my best and moved on. When I finished I got lessons that were right for me. The diagnostic is not a typical test. Not all students will see the same questions, every student should get around half the questions correct, that's okay!Some of my friends rushed and got lessons that weren't right for them, they asked me what I did. Here are five things I shared with them
I didn't give up.
Some of the questions may seem tricky but I made sure to read the whole question.
Some of the questions I didn't know the answer too after thinking hard and working the problem on a piece of paper. I took my best guess.
Before I hit the done button, I checked my answer to make sure it was right. I changed a few of my answers the way
I took my time, once I finished really fast but then got lessons that weren't right for me.
Warning some students guess without reading the choices, if you do this you may get lessons that are too easy for you and will be a waste of your time, you may even have to take it again. You might wanna give up or rush, don't. If you try your best you might get the right lessons for you.
I some reason have this story that happened a few weeks ago a proud of 16 year olds was crowding around his kid and she was stomping on some fur ears in a water puddle and they were chanting... STOP BEING FURRY STOP BEING A FURRY (wth)
I wonder if just a head would be okay. I don’t think your head grows much past like 12 years of age
I saw a kid with a really cute dino mask at a con and it honestly looked like she was having the time of her life!! It was probably the sweetest interaction I've had ever
Her parents dipped
@@YusufIbrahim-jd4erhow original, you really outdid yourself there.
I actually want to make a kemono fursuit head and paws even though I’m 11, yes,I’m young. But I plan for it to be more oversized so I can grow and still fit so if it doesn’t fit me right away ill know I can possibly grow into it. At the moment I have 2 dino masks, one is a main the other is a random one
A young fur here as a sandwing with a dino mask! It isnt solid but, atleast I could trim it
Yeah I’m a young fur and I am almost done with my Dino mask and I furred it and added huge ears and I’ll probably make a tail with it but I’m probably not going to make the paws yet!!
My 19 year old sister is making partials and ATM see working on her very first fursuit,I'm 10 almost 11 and she says she doesn't like the pursuit head she's making,I said I would take it when its finished and she agreed! She's starting commissions when she gets better,the pursuit head shes making for me is so cool!and seems hq! She said maybe she will make me paws!
To be honest I think kids shouldn't get expensive suits, shoes stuff like that if they are going to physically grow out of it if a few months.
Hi I’m 11 years old don’t ask how I’m on this app I’m curious would a Dino mask be a good Idea I don’t want a full fursuit I am quite keen on this hobby bye
I love this so much! I'm on the younger side of the spectrum and obviously since suits are quite expensive i cant afford one,however with these options we can still express ourselves,I'm currently in the process of making a partial right now anyways,but I know many people who cant make them (like my friend) because either their parents don't trust them or they don't have the money for it and so on! I just absolutely love this,Thanks!
I know that my 8 year old sister has a partial fursuit and her grandma actually made that fursuit and did not my experience at all and the fursuit came out pretty good
Hello Zee i’m an 8 -year-old girl currently working on my suit. It’s gonna look a bit like yours but its name is gonna be SugarFluf
I’m a young furry, my parents went though my room 😂 they found my first cardboard mask, I’ve upgraded to Dino mask tho. I think they figured it out
I am a 9 year old starting to make a fursuit. I am making a digirade or whatever it is called.
My Fursuit will be gigantic the really long arms does really long legs
i just finished the (3 finger) axolotl paws the tail and the head (axolotl cat hybrid) all i need to do is put reinforcement for the tail and get fabric mesh and paint for the eyes. i'm gonna wear it to the armageddon costume competition. also my little sister looks cute in it
cool! make sure you don't overheat!
@@zeekayart went for a partial so i wouldn't overheat too much (also too expensive to make)
I agree with you I do want paws I could make my own my hands look like adult hands so like yeah I always wear a dino mask and years and tail I know its not a fursuit but its something right??? Yeah I agree with you
If your a younger furry I would recommend first just making a fursuit head and a tail and paws ect
I’m joining the furry fandom 2 weeks latee
I’m under 16 (a newer furry, I just joined the fandom like last year)
I’m making a head by myself instead of buying one, because it wouldn’t make sense to buy something that doesn’t fit…
I’m making my own so if it doesn’t fit I’ll fix it-
that's the best option honestly. because then after spending $2000 on something and not having it fit, you also won't be able to alter it yourself. if you're learning the skills involved - it's just better for everyone! make sure you have an adult with you for all the safety stuff!
I wonder if you can specialize a mini partial for a growing child? Remove pads as they grow. Or copy the cardboard Panda idea in Turning red. Instead of a red panda, it's your fursona. Similar to the paper mask, but a little more durable. 😊
Lol two days ago me and my friend who I made a furry and a non furry where just talking about making fursuits.
Cat masks are another alternative and they are pretty cheap. I’ve gotten a pack of 5 cat masks for 10 dollars
I’m a younger fur and I’m in the middle of making my own real fursuit, so it’s kinda too late to not make but oh well
I'm a young furry (under 15) and I wanna make my first dino mask
0:47 just straight sayin shut up and take my monneh✨✨✨✨
I’m young and I have made a dawning of my fursona and I’m going to make paws,tail and the head :)
So you did do....something like a Theron’s mask cause therian masks are easy
IDEA WHAT IF YOU WERE TO COVER A DINO MASK WITH FOAM AND FUR AS IF YOU WERE MAKING A ACHUAL FURSUIT IVE SEEN PEOPLE DO THAT BEFORE SO THAT WOULD TECHNICALLY BE A FURSUIT “ IM NOT YELLING BTW I JUST FEEL MOST COMFORTABLE SPEAKING IN CAPS “
I rlly like your fursuits bc is purple thats my fav color:)
When getting dinomasks, make sure you stay over 30 dollars, best over 50. Otherwise you risk getting scammed and receiving a floppy silicone shit
makes sense!
buy them at target, where i live its only 17 bucks, and theyre not that hard to find
@@Chicken_Gaming_Roblox not all countries have target, thats why.
@@hako964 damn ok geez. just tryna help
@@Chicken_Gaming_Roblox I wasn't tryna be rude, I was just saying this incase a person does not have target or another store that sells dino masks around and they wanna order from amazon.
Yes, never but your kids a fursuit, even if they are 17, never buy them a fursuit, since they are still your kids.
Kids you can go on UA-cam and find fursuit tutorials and make it yourself
Thought a head could work but buy it at like ten or
eleven
I am a young furry and I feel like making a foam head and buying paws and the rest so I don’t have to spend much and I really want paws,foam heads,and tails!
I am a young fur is it at least fine to get a head bc I am petty sure peoples head don't grow
