hey, im making my first fursuit!!!!!! xd its going to be a partial fursuit of a black fox, but the paws, ears, tail tip, stomach, and star on the forehead are going to be blue. i've found this one site that has perfect fake fur, but its $25 a yard and i would rather not spend so much unless i had to.(im only 14 and i don't have a job) know of any sites that have fake fur fabric at a good price?

Fursuits are a huge investment friend. Good suits can costs over one grand and materials anywhere don't come cheap. 25 bucks a yard is about standard price... It doesn't get much better unless you want to sacrifice the quality.

I agree with khleo, Good fabric is gonna be costly, but hey, its better than paying hundreds of dollars to have someone else make it for you.

Be mindful of what glue you use.
