Faux fur is just the softest texture available and that makes it wonderful as a coverlet on a bed, especially a day bed where you can snuggle during the day. Buy a large piece of faux fur that can be slipped over the top of regular bedding to add a layer of softness. Because faux fur does not fray, you can easily leave the edges as is - no sewing required!

And who says only the kids can snuggle up to faux fur. Keep the winter chill out of a grown-up bedroom with a luxurious faux fur blanket that can be placed at the bottom of the bed and pulled up when you need more heat. You would be surprised at how much warmth a faux fur coverlet can provide. And faux fur just has that sensual touch if you are looking to create a romantic setting that will make you purrrr!
Making your own faux fur blanket or coverlet shouldn't take you more than 30 minutes tops and when making your own you get to choose your own faux fur design.

Faux Fur Rugs
Making your own faux fur rug is a really quick and easy project, and you can cut the faux fur to a specific shape if you want to replicate the look of a sheepskin rug. No sewing required when making a rug since faux fur fabric will not fray along the edges. But for a durable rug, it is a good idea to sew an edging to extend its life.
GOOD TO KNOW
On slippery floors, you can add a non-slip or rubber weave to the back of your faux fur rug to prevent it from slipping around.
