….Now I’m a furry purse!  I found this detachable faux fur collar at a local vintage store. When I folded it in 1/2 it instantly looked like a warm fury & very hip little purse.  The following is a step by step DIY. It wasn’t complicated but because of the material all the stitching had to be done by hand.  I use heavy thread so I only need 1 strand. The zipper is hand sewn in first then I very carefully tucked the fur inside the bag as I sewed around the outside.  In the end, I added a long wooden bead pull that can be used as a wristlet or a functional zipper pull.  I’m heading out tonight & plan to break it in!

    • I found this faux fur (fake fur) collar in a vintage shop. It used to be popular to have detachable fur collars on jackets. I just found it as is in a basket. Look around & see if you can find one! It was a fun, quick project.
