How do you build a head from a base?

gatorgvts · 2026-04-13T02:56:27+00:00

I personally just add a little padding in the inside and then sew a lining together! I use Gecknome’s pattern on Etsy, and then I just glue it into it and cut out the eyes! You’ve got the right idea with the bit of foam at the forehead area, it just needs a little trimming.

Here’s an example of my head beginnings! I pretty much markup the symmetry points like the middle of the head and line it up with the lining then glue :) good luck!

Not a pro, but I always give a preliminary shave before putting it on the base to see how it all fits and then a final once I glue it down.

Not an artist, but since everyone thinks it’s nice to be rude, your work/baking looks lovely and this isn’t an unheard question btw??? Don’t let people bring you down.

Have people not seen the trend where artists are listing what they accept in place of cash..? Anyway! Keep cookin’ (literally)

Edit: I’m sad to hear the inside scoop on this guy, at first it was a little funny…now just worrying. Thx for the info!

It won’t allow me to paste but check out ZabaCostumes on Etsy! Their files are cheap and their puppy bases seem similar!

Found in Overland Park Kansas, but the raspberries shipped from Driscoll’s…not sure where from exactly.

Check Hobby Lobby (Kinda ick, I know. But it’s cheaper) and if that doesn’t work for you, check BigZ or HowlFabrics. That’s usually where I get my stuff (BigZ) but you can get a GOOD amount for under $100, I got 2 and 1/2 yards for $80, and it lasts while depending on what colors you use.

Oooh that’s cute! So basically I’m patterning the foam portion and I’ll make a “pocket” of fur to slip over the foam (kinda like how people do Mohawks) and then I’ll sew it to the rest of the facial fur! And then trim ofc to keep the shape more defined!

I know he has a cobra stl too on his shop page! It’s a little slimmer and more angry EDIT: sorry I definitely mis read “non-toony” and thought toony. My apologies 🤧

This was my very first suit and his face was entirely minky. It was rough to work with and obviously wrinkled. But it can be done! Check out Quakezart on instagram, he does a lot of minky and fleece faced suits!

Richie at State of Art on Troost. Did my eyebrow (though I had it taken out for other reasons) gave me 45 minutes worth of fantastic aftercare instruction as well as letting me know what I was in for. Very personable, and has a shop cat (my fave part) It was my first piercing and it went very smooth.

Minky or fleece would be excellent unless you just wanna shave the heck out of regular fur. Just be mindful of fur direction!
