Finished footrest: faux fur over foam.
I used the black leopard fur I bought off eBay a few months back. The fur's kind of stiff for stuffed animals, so I may try to sell the remaining 1/3 yard. (It's fairly soft when stroked with the nap, but against the nap is a bit scratchy.) Or I might keep it. (Black leopard unicorn, to go with the pinto?)
I made a near-cube out of the fur, then put the foam pieces in and sewed the end on. The foam was a bit hard to cut, but I managed with my utility knife. I also didn't get everything quiiite straight. But it works.
Estimated completion time: two days, which I was afraid was overly optimistic. Actual completion time: one day.
