DIY Fox Rug
Materials:
Rug canvas
1/2 yd. Brown faux fur fabric
1/4 yd. White faux fur fabric
Black stiff felt
Hot glue
Fabric scissors
Instructions:
1. Using a marker, sketch out a fox shape on the rug canvas. When you are happy with one side of the design, cut it out, fold the canvas in half, and trace it on the other side, so the fox shape is symmetrical. Cut out the other side.
2. Flip the brown fur over to the non-furry side. Using the rug canvas as a stencil, trace the shape with a marker onto the brown fur and cut it out.
3. With the brown fur still flipped over to the non-furry side, hot glue the rug canvas to the brown fur around the edges.
4. Cut out a tail tip from the white fur and hot glue it on.
5. Cut a fox head out of brown fur.
6. Cut eyes and a nose out of the black felt and hot glue them on.
7. Cut out inner ears and cheeks from the white fur.
8. Hot glue the inner ears and cheeks to the head.
9. Hot glue the head to the fox body.
