Use fur to decorate purchased hats and boots. Sew or hot glue strips of fur around the brim of hats to create a fur border. You can also cover the entire hat in fur and use the purchased hat as a lining or sew a new hat entirely out of fur. Use hot glue to secure strips of fur to the tops of boots or cut tubes of fur to cover the full length of the boot. Make matching scarves by sewing together long, thin tubes of fur to the desired length. - Create simple or complex stuffed animals for kids with faux fur.Thomas Northcut/Stockbyte/Getty Images
