Craft Post: Deer Accessories

For several months, I have been on a quest for faux deer fur to make a collar, similar to one Innocent World made. It surprised me how many different types of mythical tiger furs I could find, but no simple spotted deer fur! I wanted the piece not only for myself, but for a student-produced fashion show that I will be designing for at the end of the school year. After scouring the internet to no avail, I came upon this little treasure!  A toddler's Bambi jacket! for $8.50 shipped! My heart leaped with joy! When it arrived, I promptly cut it up and made a large and small collar. I also plan to make ear muffs, boot toppers and maybe a muffler if I have enough fabric...probably not ;)

Plans for earmuffs. The headband looks like chocolate icing, doesn't it?

    I got that toddler coat to do the same thing! Yours look lovely with the brown ribbon.

    Adorable! I have been looking for fur like that ever since that collar came out to make a knock off one, but this is such a better idea!
