Getting an Inexpensive Fursuit Head

2/22/2018

Hey PapaBear,

I need a fursuit head, but how do I make/get one for cheap??

Kye (age 11)

Dear Kye,

That depends on what you mean by "cheap." You have to be be willing to spend a couple bills to get anything decent. If you wish to buy a fursuit head, you can find used ones on a couple of websites, including  www.thedealersden.com and www.furbuy.com. Since you are 11 and most of these partials are made for people older, you might have a bit of a problem with the size being too large. You could also, if you are not picky, simply look for animal masks at Halloween costume stores (werewolves, Beast from Beauty and the Beast, and various wild animal heads can be found for less than $100). Or, if you have a friend who is into crafting and sewing, perhaps you could ask them to make one for you. Again, because of your age, I think you are smart to start off cheap as you become familiar with fursuiting.

As for making one? Well, if you are gifted enough to make costumes and can sew and sculpt, then sure, make one yourself. That way, you only pay for materials. You can find video tutorials on YouTube or there are a couple of sites such as www.matrices.net/tutorials.htm that can be helpful.

Good Luck and Happy Fursuiting,
​

I hate to seem the villain here, but there is also a discussion here of "want" vs. "need".

There exists a #thing.
You desire #thing.

Will you die if you don't get #thing?

If the answer is "yes", then you need #thing.

If not, then you want #thing.

There are a lot of #things that I want. Most of them I'm not going to get. The ones I can get I'm probably going to have to save up for. C'est la vie.

I do wish you luck in your endeavors, Kie. I really do. But there comes a time when fandom must contend with reality - and reality has big sharp nasty pointy teeth.

And forgive me if this seems to be an oversimplification of the issue. But I provide it here as food for thought.
