Rabbit fur

[badgreek]

I have a few rabbit pelts and would like to attach one to the flap on my possibles bag. What would be the best way to stitch it on? I would like to attach it in a way to where the stitches do not show. Any ideas?

When working thin hides like rabbit, aka; Rocky Mtn Grizzly Mouse, I use this stitch;

Contact Cement, Barge is some great stuff, I have items that have held together for years, temp swing freindly and stays flexible.
Just be carefull at the edges, be clean and neat, and NO Body knows the differance.

My advice also :thumbsup: The only thing I can add is when you are cutting the pelts try to lay back the fur along the cut line so it will overhang the cut edge real well.

Good point,
I always cut fured hides from the hide side with a razor sharp blade,and carefully, just through the skin. That way the fur looks/lays natural and hides the cut
