Step 7: Dog Fur

My mother has 3 Bouvier des Flandres. Their coats are thick (and hypoallergenic), and when they're brushed, they give up bags full of hair. This is where I got my supply.

I used simple white glue to attach the fur to the prop. Here's what I learnt:

1) Slightly matted fur gives you a great base to glue against the prop's surface.

2) Soft fur can be rubbed between your hands to mat it (be aware, this brings out strong doggie smell).

3) A small chunk of hair that has loose ends can be squished together at one end, covered and glue and applied quite easily.

4) I'm a strange lady.

I was extremely pleased with the results.

I added a few strands and small clumps to his skull.
