Now that fall is coming, we’re finding ourselves thinking about fun, fabulous ways to change our home decor over for colder weather. Most of the stores we frequent are following suit with the prices they offer, putting all of their coziest looking blankets, throw pillows, and rugs on display. The same thing happens in fashion; warm, soft pieces will be on the mannequins in no time! If you ask us, however, its more fun to make yourself cozy winter pieces than it is to buy them. So, what’s our favourite thing to work with when it comes to fall home and fashion DIY, you ask? Faux fur, of course!
We prefer to work with faux for for plenty of reasons, so it’s a plus that most tutorials available use it too, since it behaved a little differently under the scissors and the sewing needle than the real thing might.
