Fur Mantle from Becca's Crazy Projects

What can you do with a piece of fur from Ikea? Well, my plan was to make a fur mantle that would give the viewer the impression of a barbarian character.

I made a foundation for the fur and sewed the fur to the foundation.

And trimmed the fur into a suitable shape.

Then, I decided I didn't want it to be white and did a dye experiment. And that is where it all went sideways. I didn't wait for the water to get up to temp. I wasn't sure the water would ever get up to ...

I was concerned I was making it too small, but it turned out just right ...
