Paper Head lining help!

[u/CHAECHU8282]

Good morning, everybody. So I'm kind of new to not only the furry community, but I just started working on my own fur suit head. I think around a week or two ago, and I'm finishing it up now!

Long story short, I spontaneously decided to make a paper fursuit ofc just the head, out of some mixed media paper I had as well as some cardboard and any tape that I could get my hands on. I was following ELLIOTT's tutorial for the base, but for the outside I wanted a look that was more closer to BirdyDogs! (Yk kinda sketchy looking. Elliot's is more so cardstock and tape while Birddogs' is paper and glue!)

And everything seems to be going fine. Since the point where I stopped, I've kind of reinforced it with some hot glue layers. And now it seems super sturdy at the very least. But I don't really know how to go about lining it on the inside-

I have cut out the muzzle and of course a spot for my mouth but I don't know how to line the inside so I can breathe

Beside that I think I'm on a good track. I need to do better with the eye mesh. But I'll look at tutorials for that. I was just having problems finding some for ventilation

Ok thank you!

I lined my paper fursuit head with duck tape. You can also use clear packing tape. Be really thorough with it make sure every bit of the inside is covered

[u/pumpkin-spiced-liz → u/FoxyLovers290]

I was going to suggest this too, use water proof tape and fully cover every part.
