We had a call today from a customer wanting a Skunk Motorcycle Helmet. We have 100's of motorcycle helmets, but of course she wanted one that we did not have. We were able to "kind of" help her.
Step 1: Materials Needed
Black & White Acrylic "fun"fur
Heavy Duty Velcro, adhesive backed
Hot glue gun
Utility knife Helmet.
Classic Motorcycle Helmet
You will need about 1/3 yard each of black and white fun fur. I also saw a nice, furry bath rug that would be neat, only I didn't want to spend $20 on it just to cut it up. Check thrift stores for rugs or old jackets. The fun fur is $12 a yard at JoAnn Craft Stores. Unfortunately, it has a "Grain" to it, and it runs across the fabric bolt, so if you buy an 8-inch, full-width strip, the grain runs perpendicular to the direction you need it. I simply cut the pieces short, then glued them together. It is much easier to cut the fur with a utility knife than with scissors- the scissors cut the long hairs off, while the blade only slices through the backing. The scissors are for cutting the Velcro.
