How to make furry Paws

When we buy a costume from others, they maybe don't have the accessories that we want. So today I would like to offer you a tutorial to tell you how to make furry paws.

Material you need to provide:

- Cloth

- Scissors

-Pin

- Thread

-Fur

Leg's begin.

First of all get a piece of fur fabric big enough to fit a bit more than your hand and jam it (your hand) over the fabric to check how much you'll need! Put your hand on it and then cut it with your hand's shape.

Turn the fur around to the inner side and draw a pattern with the shape of your hand but slightly bigger (sort of how kids draw their hands in kindergarten but slightly bigger!)

Note:

Cut it and pay attention to how you do it! I use a very wide but thin bladed scissor that i also use to cut plastics and so on and that scissor is excelent for fur cause it preserves the fur in! This fur in special is short, but long fur need to be cut near the fabric base or you will be able to see where you cut cause chunks of fur will be missing!

I suggest you use an xacto knife or box cutter in the back of the fur instead of fabric scissors for a precise job like this! The fur will be way softer!

After that you need to cut another one with the same process.

Hand Sew the 2 layers of fur back to back all around (except where your hand should fit in, like a glove) with the furry part facing in and the back of the fur facing out!

Make sure its really all around it with tiny tense stitches! Also the pin should not be too large.

After finished this, you could turn the gloves around! And then you could see the fur now. So lovely.

Now you need to Cut in pink/skin tone felt or something similar 5 dots (10 for both hands) (size somehow equivalent to the surface of your fingers but not so much) and also the shape of the palm like shown bellow!

You can sew this part before or after the actual glove (its easier before because you dont have to worry about sewing fingers together or the glove palm!!) but i prefer to do it after so i can calculate better where the middle of the palm will be! I have really bad spacial insight!

Short tiny stitches all around it!

The dots you can glue them using wood glue or sew them!

Here is what I finished.

From all this, you could see the full process of making the furry paws. If you have any questions, you could contact me.
