So I have made a fun monster puppet. I feel as though he is constantly shedding or hair falling off from the pattern cutting process. Could someone direct me towards some fur that is more durable or less prone to shedding?

Sorry....but there isn't really a stronger fur (well there is) But I mean to say that there are diffrent techniques to cutting fur.
Such as
-Don't use scissors
-Cut from the back with an X-Acto knife or blade.

That should help with the shedding.

cool didn't even think of that tecnique. Such an easy solution. My housemates thank you ever so much for not having blue fur take over their lives any more.

*Looks for lint brush*

anyone have any good plans for how to display puppets when they aren't on your hand? Also, Any good storage techniques for puppets that make it so they don't get a smushed look? I am think of using dowels some how but not sure so hopefully some of you veterans can steer me the right direction.

Thanks
