Errrmmm..... What?

Eee all my gear came at once!

The paws, ears, and tail weren't supposed to come until next month, so I'm super happy!!

Mask tutorial part one!

Step 1: get scissors and card

Step 2: cut this shape, the rough size of the top half of your face

The width is how wide the mask will be, the cut out triangle in the middle is where your nose will go

Step 3: Cut out this shape for the muzzle

Step 4: construct the muzzle. You can use either tape or hot glue here.

It should end up looking like this:

Now we are going to go back to the flat bit and cut some eyes.

Step 5: get a felt tip pen. Take glasses and stuff off your face. Put the card on your face and use the felt tips to trace around your eyes while feeling like an idiot

Step 6: cut out the eyes around the bad guidelines you drew

Step 7: attaching the muzzle. You can use hot glue or tape, and depending on how much you squish it, you can make the muzzle wide or thin. Anyway glue/ tape the muzzle around the nose hole but preferably not over the eyes.

That's it for the base! I'll make another tutorial on how to fur it and put the strings on, but that's it for now!

People barking n howling at me and I'm just there like. Why. How do you think barking at me will intimidate me. Do you think I'll come and roll over at your feet? You can't even bark properly. Just... Shut up before you embarrass yourself further.

One very unimpressed doggy. Get some original insults. I genuinely find it funny that you've ended up barking while trying to insult me for being a doggy

Anyway they were misgendering me too but yeeeahhh try not to think about the part that actually offends me.

Nevermind I've reported it someone else can deal with it now.

Since everyone seems to like this and I loved making it, we have options...

I made a Scottish deerhound mask! The base is paper plates, the fur is from an old costume, and I lined it with old sheets! The only bit that isn't easy to get is the nose (mouldable plastic from Amazon). It just goes to show what you can make with stuff around the house!

Yeah I probably need to do this at some point

LEAVING THIS UP BUT VERY IMPORTANT UPDATE

Someone reblogged and said it can weaken the leather inside, this has never happened to me for the year or so I've done it, but very likely can happen!! Please be cautious:) this is likely better advice for faux tails! (As most of those dont have leather middles)

Reminder for all therians who have gear/anyone with animal gear

WASH

YOUR

TAIL!!

Don't know how/are afraid to do it wrong

Here's a step by step on how I do it! (This is for real fur tails but should also work just as well for faux fur !)

Fill up a sink or a large pot with warm water, NOT boiling/hot!! This can cause the fur and hold on it to grow a lot weaker and possibly fall off

Pour in dawn dishsoap/sensitive skin laundry detergent(regular downy also works!) into the water and mix it around :)

Gently take your tail and soak it in the water, slowly and carefully running your fingers through the fur to remove any excess dirt/grime

Dump out the dirty water and refill it with slightly colder water, run the tail through this again!

Smell testing is also a good idea, step away into a better smelling room then walk in and smell the tail, if it smells bad or grimey another less intensive wash may be needed

If done, Take the tail out, lay it FLAT DOWN on a surface, do not hang dry it from its keychain if it is big or heavy, if not then feel free to hang dry!

Check on it every hour or so, in less than a day it should be good! (Depending on length:] )

And thats all!! I hope this helps anyone with gear who wasnt shure how or if to wash it:)!!
