The preparatory work is completed and you can begin to pattern the product. The shape of the rug depends entirely on your imagination.
You can focus on strict geometric shapes, abstraction or a random arrangement of pieces of different sizes.
You need to cut the fur very carefully. Lay it on a flat surface with the wrong side up. Using a scalpel or furrier knife, make the necessary cuts for the metal ruler. Thus, worn edges are also removed.
The resulting pieces of fur must be properly sewn together. For work, threads No. 10 are waxed, a needle (preferably faceted) and a thimble (for convenience and safety) are needed.
Lay the flaps on a flat surface with the wrong side up and mark the joints with a chalk at a distance of 5 cm from each other. For convenience, sew a few stitches along the seam lines.

Assembly of the product can also be done on a sewing machine. To do this, fold the flaps inside out and sew a zigzag seam, laying it as close to the edge as possible.
