Nimbus is a very, very fluffy dog, so of course, she sheds a lot. When Nimbus is around, there’s always fur everywhere, but instead of being annoyed by it, her mom decided to start saving it in order to make use of it.
“I started to save her fur since I saw it has an incredible amount of crafting potential, from felting to weaving into yarn,” Soleil Pond, Nimbus’ mom, told The Dodo. “I always wanted to make some keepsakes out of her fur for some family members across the country who haven’t gotten a chance to meet her.”
Pond was trying to think of fun crafting projects she could do with all of Nimbus’ saved fur, and then her friend Charlotte Lake suggested making a pair of boots.
“I knew she had a proclivity for crafting and camping, so I passed off a bunch of fur to her,” Pond said.
After receiving Nimbus’ fur, Lake set to work making the boots, which took about 24 hours each. Pond wasn’t quite sure what to expect — but when she saw photos of the finished product, she was absolutely thrilled.
