Fun fur works well. There are many types. Colours, lengths, even sheen can be almost limitless (if you know where to look). Do a walk about in you area's local fabric district, or check out a few fabric stores in your area.

Hope that helps.

Or you could use real hair....or wig hair like from sally's salon.....or a place like it

facial hair

A technique I've used with success for eyebrows and moustaches is this.

I run hot glue where I want the facial hair, then I quickly put a piece of fake-fur (fur side down) on the glue. After it cools, I trim the backing off the fur, and trim the glued-down hairs to the appropriate length and shape.

Of course, you'll want to practice on scrap fabric before you actually try it on your puppet's face....

Does any of this make sense?
