Fursuit Maker Question!!
12 years ago
General
I was wondering if any of you knew a place where i could just cut sheets of plastic for eyes (white part)? I need a more cost-effective way to get it for eyes, also the plastic bowls are annoying to work with lol. If any of you could help me, it would be greatly appreciated!!
Note: I use the plastic bowl technique now but want to get actual sheets of plastic.

If so, you can find them in packs of (6?) at Hobby Lobby and other major craft stores, usually in the sewing/quilting section. I believe they're around $5 a pack.

I much prefer this stuff to styrene sheets as others have suggested, as it flexes nicely and doesn't require so much effort to shape and clean!
For (hi-temp) hot glue, I found it adhered better if the surface was scuffed up with sandpaper a little before gluing.
Hope this helps!
