I show you how to cut faux fur in the video. This will leave you with a beautiful drape on the beard and you’ll love it.
Instead, flip over the fur and, with a razor blade or Exacto knife, cut only the fabric and then pull the cut piece away from the whole. If you have never cut faux fur before or you’ve hated how it turned out, I have a treat for you! You can’t just whip out your scissors and start cutting as that will leave a sharp edge on the fur.
So, a mixture of both is absolutely necessary! And regular hot glue will make hard places in your pom pom, which is totally uncool. Regular fabric glue takes too long to dry and you don’t want to be holding it for 30-45 minutes. But what you do want is fabric hot glue like the stuff I use here.
