Jack Dark 2 Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Im going to make a rabbit dummy,just wondering do i need to prepare the rabbit fur in any way ie treat the skin under the fur. I’m making some right now as I will soon be getting a pup and I like to be prepared. When I make rabbit skin dummys I just dry the skins without any treatment and then cut them to size so that when I sew them they are tubes just a little too small to fit the dummy into. I then soak them over night so they are soft and flexible and then slide/stretch them over the dummy, a few stitches between the skins and dummy each end and then let them dry. As they dry they shrink, that and the few stitches has in the past at least been all that was needed to keep them together and they haven’t rotted or anything. Hope that makes sense.
