- In this how to, I will show you how to construct a Muskrat fur blanket from muskrat pelts. I used over 100 pelts in this blanket . I sorted the pelts by size using the smallest pelts at the top of the blanket and the largest at the bottom. This is a basic block method that uses the most the muskrat pelt has to offer, their are other designs you can create but this method was the one I chose to use the most of the fur the client had sent me. I use a Bonis A 16 fur machine to sew the fur pelts together and the lining side is attached by both fur sewing machine and hand stitched in areas. I did make 2 pillows that were about 12 pelts each and this is a good example of how you can make pillows also. I hope you find the information helpful and wish you the best in your efforts to making your own fur blanket , you can figure the size by how many pelts you choose to use.

This is the most wonderful, helpful video! I've been trying to make a blanket and pillow from possum pelts (in NZ) and this is just the information i needed to do the job well. Can you tell me please what the name of the tape is that you put around the edge - is it cold tape? Thank you!

Excellent video, I'm glad I found this. I've been increasingly diving into fur crafting and trap and tan everything myself, just bought a fur machine after a few years of doing it by hand. Question for you, what sort of table are you using to staple to when you block the pelts out, is it just some plywood? I've only just learned about doing that and feel like i need to start doing it with my pelts before crafting them.
Thanks for making this video! It's so hard to find any information on crafting with real fur so this is a rare treat 😊
I bought a blue fox fur blanket and won’t get it for about a month, I know I’ll get info about it from the seller, but what’s your thoughts on storing fur blankets from may-September?
