Fake fur

Wanted: More info on places to get fake fur, and ways of working with fake fur.

Fake fur is great for costumes.

Working with Fake Fur

Cut from the back (furry side down) with a sharp blade such as a box cutter - scissors will cut the nap.
To stitch it, Use a teflon or walking foot (if possible) on your sewing machine.
Fabric glue is great for attaching fake fur to things. Look for "ok to wash" for the best hold.
A simple way to make a piece of fur clothing is to take something old and unwanted (pants, for example) and glue fake fur on top, or add trim.
NEVER put fake fur in the dryer! You can wash it in a washing machine, but only with COLD water! Shake it out before and after washing, and allow to air dry. You can gently brush with a hairbrush, but it's best to have one that is dedicated only to faux fur so you don't get hair oils, conditioner, etc on it.
We are often asked if it is possible to dye or color faux fur. Sadly, the answer is no.

Check out the Fashion district, there are numerous shops there. Bring cash and don't be afraid to haggle a bit, especially if you are buying in quantity.

Ask at your local independent fabric store. Also, check out JoAnn Fabrics in January when they put their faux fur on half price!
