You could always try Ebay, you'll be surprised what you find on their.



Depending on how much you actaully need you could buy a jacket or whatever thats made for fake fur from a charity or second hand shop, unpick it and use the pieces of fur.

Hope this helps

Funfur is generally quite expensive, you should try your local discount fabric store if at all possible. I have one near me that sells fun fur for as little as $10 a meter because it is the off season for that sort of material.

id love some fur like some toys are made out of, but when i go fur hunting its always the same generic length of fur, and same thickness.
i would look on ebay for fur, but there isnt really a guarantee what it will be like

Ebay is seriously over-priced with their furs, and I went to some thrift stores today.....no fur coats or anything =/ This is baaaad, really bad. All the materials are gonna end up costing a shitton! How to people sell ears and tails for cheap?

Ooooh thank you so much! It seems that fake fur is cheaper in the UK than in the US. Well...it seems that everything is cheaper in the UK actually ^^; But it's still a bit pricey for the amount...

I'm actually watching several things on ebay (child's fur jackets, throws, etc.) Hopefully I can win one of those. If not then I'd be more than willing to work something out with you, thank you! I've been looking for white, cream, or light beige colored fur.

How about the regular old store? I was thinking about this today. I have a fake fur pink throw. I think it cost $15 and it will definitely cover ears and a tail!
