Tools for Fursuit

These are items that you could use to make a mask. I am sure that others may do it different, this is just what I have or that I prefer.

Glue gun and glue sticks, I like to try and use the clear sticks if I can find them incase any glue ends up showing in my craft projects. I keep my hot gun on a plate wrapped in foil it keeps the gun from sliding around which it will do because it is so light and makes for easy clean up of glue drips.
Scissors, yes I use more than one pair I have a really sharp pair I use on fabric only so that they stay sharp, I use all purpose scissors for all my other tasks
Razor tool, you use this for cutting the fur you can use any type of razor tool like an exacto, a box cutter, a snap off retractable, or simply a square blade that you can get from the hardware store. Please be careful when ever you are cutting with any razor tool, it goes without saying that they are sharp and can cut you easily.
Needle and thread
Pens
Ruler or straight edge
Paint pens, for coloring the eyes
Brush (forgot to include) I use my dog's brush to brush the trapped fur out of sewn seams

Optional tools
Sewing machine, you do not need a sewing machine in order to make a fursuit. If you do not have one but wish to give this a try all you need is a needle and thread, of course it takes longer but it is more than doable.
Face mask, one thing I didn't find out about until it was too late is that when you are shaving fur or cutting through the fur not just the backing, little bits of it float around in the air and you are going to breathe it.
Clippers, for shaving the face of the mask. It is not necessary to do this step but a lot of people do in order to give their suit a more finished appearance.
Foam head form, this was really cheap and you can leave your mask on it while working. They come smaller than a human adult head but can be padded with foam to the exact size of your own head.
Yarn needle, for sewing the mesh together. They are cheap but if you don't want to purchase one you can do what I did for my first head and use a garbage twist tie folded in half with the ends twisted together.
Seam ripper, (the tan thing above the clippers). You can use the dull prong to pull loose any fur that gets sewn into a seam.
Cutting board, I use this plastic one so that I don't mess up my work space (I.E. my dining room table!) I use it when I am cutting with a razor tool and when I am hot gluing the glue comes right off it.
Straight pins to hold items
Cups, I used cups to mark the placement of my eyes  as well as the template for drawing and constructing my eyes. For me they were very important.
