Unconventional Fur Things (Ideas For Scrap)

Unconventional Fur Things (Ideas For Scrap)

You see a fur coat pretty much everywhere, but you don’t really see fur accessories. However, they always seem to be in our closet somehow. Sometimes, we get them ourselves, sometimes it’s gifted to us, and sometimes it just happens to be there, and you don’t know why and how. But whatever the reason is for some extra fur lying around, you can put it to good use. Here are some mini-project ideas for unconventional fur things    that you try for yourself.

 

Fur cuffs

 

Possibly the simplest thing to make with fur scraps is fur cuffs. They are small, look fancy and add a cute touch to your outfit. To make one, you just need to make sure the fur scrap is evenly sized and just enough to look good. A big chunk of scrap will look awkward on your wrist.

Here is how you make them – Start by marking the back of the scrap at two places, where you will cut it to make your fur cuff. Cut it with a razor blade so as the fur, itself, is not damaged. Get a lining cloth and cut it at the same measurement as the fur scrap. Afterwards, sew the corners of the lining cloth in on itself, so the edges are not rough.

Take a hair elastic band and cut it in half. Line the back of the fur scrap with the lining cloth and put the elastic band between them. However, be sure to put it in a way that the cut ends of the band are hiding beneath the lining cloth. Sew the items together, and now, you have a button loop to attach your fur cuff to any buttoned jacket.

Animal ears headband

 When Halloween rolls around, if there is one thing people like to buy, then it is the animal ear headbands. Adults and children both like to dress up as animals, and so, a must-have item for the costume is the adorable fur headbands. These are also fairly easy to make. Just take the scraps from your old fur coat and follow the instructions given.

Print out a template of an animal ear, preferably of a cat or fox. After that, take cardboard and trace the ear onto it and then cut it out. Put it against the back of the fur scrap and use a marker to mark the shape. To avoid damaging the fur, cut with a razor blade.

Pin down both of the pieces together and sew them. Leave the bottom corner open. Fold the cardboard ears and put the cardboard inside the furry ears. Lastly, you will shave the ears just enough that there is not too much hair on the ears anymore.

Then choose a side of these ears that will play as the inside of the ears. Take a pink fabric and cut it in the same shape of the ear except a little shorter. Glue the cloth to the fur, and they are ready to attach to a headband!

 

Small rug or drape

 

Fur rugs and drapes add the perfect look to your home, and they can be very cozy as well. You can make this if you have a slightly bigger piece of fur scrap, possibly one from a fur coat, to work with. You can turn it into a little drape as well for your side table or chest.

 

Trace a random pattern on the backside of the fur scrap and cut it out. To avoid damage to the fur, always use a razor blade. And then, you’re done. Just place it wherever you like.

Having said that, fur coats are never old, and they are always trendy. For example, look at the fur coat in the picture below. Do you think it will ever be un-trendy enough to throw away?

Fur slippers

You see these things everywhere and they’ve become very common in every household. You can also make these by yourself at home. Just follow the instructions.

Take your plain slippers and take a scrap of fur. Measure the upper strap of your slipper and cut out the scraps on that measurement. Paste the fur with the glue gun and that’s it! Now, you wear these slippers to parties or just casually at home.

 

Fur stool

We’ve all seen that cute little stool in movies that people use for sitting in front of their vanity. And the best part about that stool is that it has a seat of fur and gives the perfect soft touch to your room. Well, if you’ve wanted that seat, then this DIY is perfect for you!

 

Firstly, get your stool and cut out a piece of scrap fur that should be slightly bigger than the seat but not too big. It should be just enough that the fur hangs down from all the sides, at least about an inch. It doesn’t need to be perfect. Now, you have two options. You can either glue the fur to the seat and that will be it, or if you want to attach it temporarily only, you can get some safety pins and pin the fur to the seat on the sides. This way, you can take it off whenever you want.

 

After you’re done with either of these two, your stool is ready to use!

Pom Pom flats

It is possible that one of your older fur coats had some pom poms that you lost. So, if you have those little fur pom poms lying around, this would be a good way to use them. Just get your flats, a needle and a thread, and your two pom poms. Stitch the pom poms onto the top of the flats and be sure to pull the thread a little harder to ensure that the pom pom isn’t loose. And then you’re done!

 

Fur uggs

If you have an old pair of uggs and you are this close to throwing them away, then don’t. There is a way you can make them look good again and here, we’ll tell you how.

Get a pair of uggs, a scissor, measuring tape, fur scrap, and your sewing kit. First, measure the size of your uggs from top to bottom and then around. Cut the fur according to those sizes but just a little bigger. Sew the edges of the fur piece so that it is in the form of a tube now.

Put the fur onto your uggs and arrange it so the fur covers the top part of your uggs. Take a suede cording and wrap it around the fur so that it is crossing at the front and then tie it in a bow at the top. And there you have it! Some new winter boots!

 

Conclusion

Concluding, there is a lot you can do from the fur scraps of a unconventional fur coat, and these are only a few to mention. Moreover, there is no doubt things will get messy because we are using fur, but after you finish making whatever you wanted to, you won’t mind the mess. After all, everyone enjoys a little DIY every once in a while, right? And lately, fur fashion has been gaining quite the attention. It was said that fur retail sales for 2019 amounted to about 22 billion euros.

Choosing The Best Fur For Yourself

Choosing The Best Fur For Yourself

Choosing fur is no less than choosing a car. You have to be very vigilant while investing your money because, like cars, fur coats are quite expensive and unaffordable at times. We try to get our hands on the best fur coats.

When you invest such a significant amount in merchandise, you expect a lot more from it than just performing its primary function. The same is the case with furs. They are multi-functional. They keep us warm against the harsh winter weather and also enhance our looks and styling. Therefore, due to their multiple functionalities and ability to maintain a balance between comfort and style, people tend to invest their money in fur coats.

However, before you start to choose fur coats for yourself, you need to sort out a few essential questions. Will you be wearing it in the arid dense winter climate of North Dakota? Or will you wear it while strolling in the streets of New York? These answers will decide the type of fur that you should buy for yourself. To check out out vast collection of fur coats, visit our website.

Some people pay more attention to selecting their fur color while others look for specific patterns or textures to enhance their fur coats’ look. The following guide will help you choose the best fur for yourself.

Mink Fur

Mink is one of the most popular furs. These furs ooze a feeling of glamour and beauty. Mink furs are extremely soft and delicate. The guard hair is very silky to the touch. Apart from their softness and delicate feeling, mink furs are very lightweight, and you will barely realize that you are wearing a genuine fur coat. If you are searching for something super soft and comfortable to wear, mink fur is for you. You can check our website for mink coats.

When you consider investing in mink fur, you should know whether the skins are of female or male minks. Because the female minks’ skins are better. Since they have hair and leather that is finer than that of the male minks. These lines embark a soft and shiny look on the fur coat.

Fox Fur

The silver fox fur, the white fox fur, and the red fox fur are the most famous fox furs. The fox furs are soft and shiny that will make you the centre of attention in the crowd. In contrast to mink furs, we do not determine the quality and nature of fox furs’ skin by comparing the genders. The colour and quality of hair of fox furs determine their worth.

Chinchilla Fur

This kind of fur is quite cherished and appreciated for its vibrant and glamorous tone of colors. The chinchilla furs have a unique tone of dark colors like greys and blues. They are commonly available in the colors like beige, shadow, black velvet, violet, and grey. Chinchilla furs have a very soft coat and delicate leather. If you are planning to buy comfy wear, chinchilla fur will not disappoint you.

 Sable Fur

The sable fur is perhaps the best among all the fur varieties out there. Its coat is extraordinarily light and warm. These are the most expensive type of fur coats. They are glamorous, elegant and also a source of being in the limelight. According to research, the best quality of sable furs belong to Russia that also exports the best quality of sable furs.

Furthermore, you can also find sable furs in North American regions or Canada. However, there is an evident difference in the sable furs’ quality. If you want to look graceful and put on a rich look, sable fur coats should be your ultimate choice.

Lynx Fur

Lynx fur coats are among the most valuable and one of the most expensive coats in the world. The lynx furs include the utilization of white-coloured and spotted parts of the animal skin. This pattern is extracted from the animals’ bellies. The lynx furs are known for their seductive and captivating looks.

What to do with your grandma’s fur coat | The Awkward Heirloom

What to do with your grandma’s fur coat | The Awkward Heirloom

Grandma’s Fur

Your grandma’s fur coat could hold a lot of sentimental value for you. You have an emotional connection to it. Also, there could be so much history that coat holds. The fur coat is probably elegant and cherished, but now it just hangs in your closet all year round. It probably has not seen the light of day in years. Although you might have considered selling it so many times, you can’t seem to.

Therefore, you can now give your grandma’s fur coat a facelift. A furrier can rejuvenate the heirloom. For instance, the Mink coat passed down by your grandma can now be transformed into a mink fur leather jacket or a cute bubble hat. We have put together a few ways you can wear your grandma’s fur coat and make it look stylish at the same time!

Change the Hem

Firstly, the heirloom probably is a full-length coat that touches your ankles. Coats, when your grandma was young, were styled like this. Not only were they long, but they also used to be highly uncomfortable to wear and wouldn’t give women enough freedom to move. Therefore, you can ask your furrier to raise the hem of the coat. This instanttly takes your coat from classical old to chic and trendy.

Fur remodel style

As seen in the photo, the coat’s formal appeal is still present. However, it looks more modern than it did before. Moreover, by making the coat shorter, you will have easy access to move around and do your daily chores.

In recent years, fur coats above the knees have been trending. For example, the black sheared Rex Rabbit coat looks divine and trendy. So, it is a prime example of how shortening the hem of your grandma’s fur coat could make you look like an influencer.

For instance, a fur vest gives your outfit the punk glam it needs and spices it up at the same time. Vests can go with any outfit you wear, sporty, chic, bohemian, or formal wear.

Turning it into an inner lining for a jacket always is a smart idea. The combination of leather plus fur will give you the utmost warmth. These two looks are bound to make heads turn. Indeed, they are exciting ways to make use of your grandma’s fur coat.

Accessorize Yourself!

Who does not like accessories? This is a great chance to let your imagination flow and to let your creativity take over! For example, is there any fur left over from the repurposing of your fur coat? Well, it would be a shame to let it go to waste. Turn it into jewelry or a pretty bag like the one in the photo.

Fur is very stretchable. Check out the beautiful crystal fox fur hat the woman is wearing in the photo. Indeed, the hat makes the woman look sophisticated and has a look of glamour.

Similarly, this is not where it stops. You can turn your grandma’s fur coat into various ornaments such as earrings, hats, bags, shoes, and earmuffs. In short, it is up to you and your imagination!

From Fur Coat to House Accessories

Lastly, turn your grandma’s fur coat into a cushion or a throw. Fur is known to be one of the best insulators. It provides you with the kind of warmth no other material can. Hence, turning the coat into a throw or a quilt can be of excellent use.

Indeed, the warmth and comfort provided by a real fur quilt would be the best feeling. Not only will your bed or sofa be cozy and comfortable, but the fur will make it look expensive. Sometimes the fur’s quality can die down a little because of improper care. So, instead of letting it go to waste, turn it into home accessories!

Conclusion
