Fur Your Laptop!

Start Gluing!

Grab a corner of your fur fabric and glue it onto a corner of your laptop. Leave a small amount of fur overhanging on the corner and trim it off later. You may need to chop a square off the corner of your fur if your laptop screen is thick. Generally the fur is pretty forgiving material because it can disguise your cuts, especially dark fur. Starting at a corner allowed me to orient and position the edge of the fur with one hand.

Lay a 1 or 2 inch long bead of glue along the edge nearest the screen that is not on the same face as the screen (see diagram). This way your laptop will still close properly. I used a short bead because the glue cools quickly and little patches are easier to work with.

Press the edge of the fur onto your glue. This gives you a nice thin glued area that is pretty much invisible.

Continue like this along both edges radiating from your first corner.
