Foaming Fur heads?

Hit your local yellow pages, and find a foam store, or a designer supply or a furniture upholsterer... they all sell foam in sheets. You want a closed cell foam, medium density.

From experience, know what color the majority of the fur on your suit will be. If you're going for white a tan, avoid black and dark gray foam.

I get my foam from my local(ish...) fabric store. it's usually green or white and is used for chairs and such. it's kinda firm - That's something you need for a head - so the nose and ears kinda stick up like they are supposed to. And look for scraps! I get scrap foam from them for 25cents a piece - and they are big pieces!!! or if you need foam I may be able to send you some

Make sure if you use white fur, to use white foam, as the green shows through sometimes.
I like to use closed cell foam for ears, and they make tubing style swimming noodles of the stuff that already have some curve to them if you can find those. (about 5 inch diameter for the ones I got) You may have to wait for spring to find swimming noodles in stock though.

On seeing the subject line on this one all I could think of was a fursuit that foams at the mouth.

Probably depends on the fur... you can try something of that color behind it to see. Its worse on the nose if you trim the fur short like most people do on the nose. White can definitely look greenish with that green foam underneath. They sell the white foam squares at Walmart. The last head I made I only needed one square in the pack of 4 of that foam but most use up the pack on a head, and more if you pad the paws of course.
