Werewolf Paws (Front)

Every werewolf needs some good paws - otherwise how are other people going to make cliched "what big paws you have!" jokes at you? Whether for a Halloween costume, a fursuit, or just because, here is my guide to making a set of werewolf paws that are sure to be a hit!

You will need:

-A pair of gloves that are BIGGER than your hands. I used gardening gloves for mine.
-Fake fur in whatever colors you like. I wanted to make mine look extra wolfy, so I went with a brown and a white.
-Upholstery foam. I got mine in sheets from the WalMart craft/fabric section.
-Black acrylic paint.
-Some kind of sturdy adhesive. I used hot glue, but it didn't work very well on the foam. Maybe contact cement would've worked better.

Step 1 Step One: Planning

No pictures for obvious reasons.

Anyways, before you start, plan out how you'd like your werewolf paws to look. Here were the questions (and answers) that I had when making mine:

-What color do I want my paws to be?
-Well, I have brown hair, so they should be brown. For added realism, I want to throw some white in there, too.
-Should they have claws?
-Well, duh, of course.
-How should the paw pads look?
-Something close to actual paw pads, but on a human hand. (I decided on the tips of the fingers, the top of the palm, one on each side of the lower palm, and one on the wrist.)

Think about these and other questions before you start making them, otherwise you might end up hating how they look halfway into the project!
