I then lined up the other long edge of each piece of fur and sewed that side. I used some clear nylon thread so it wouldn't show. I then ran it through the sewing machine. I took one strip of each color and lined up the long edges together with the fabric backing facing out and the fur of each strip facing inwards.

I sewed them together using my wife's sewing machine. The grey strip was about 7-8 inches wide and the white strip was 5 inches wide. I cut two strips each of longer pile grey fur and longer pile white fur a little over the length of my arm. I ordered some rubber paw pads from here. I was fine with this as I really only need enough flexibility to hold a beer with the paw and my thumb. You might notice from the picrures that these paws fit more like mittens and there is not much manueverability of my individual fingers. I used a cat brush to comb the fur (my wife has a long haired Himalayan cat, so I used her brush). After the glueing on the fur I combed it a bit to further hide the seems. I over lapped the fur trying to hide the seams as best I could. I spayed the foam with adhesive and stretched the fur over it. Next, I traced and cut out pieces of short pile white fur that matched the general shape of the paws and cut out slits for the claws. I used 3M Super 77 adhesive through out the creation of this costume as it is designed for glueing foam. I glued the claws in the previuosly made slits and glued the foam to some light weight cotton gloves I had lying around. I didn't show it in a picture of the paws without fur, but I noticed that the paws seemed too flat so I glued some extra bits of foam to the top of the paw to give is a more realistic musculoskeletal look. I then fliped the paws over and carved out grooves for my fingers. I also clut some slits into the digits so I could slide some medium sized Grizzly Bear (Resin Replicas) claws I got from eBay. I did this over several intervals until I got the shape I wanted. After carving out the basic shape I went back and shaved off the corners until the foam became more rounded.

You might want to get a few of these knives or at least some extra blades as the foam tends to dull them quickly and it's much easier to carve the foam with a sharp knife. I took a sharpie and drew the basic shape of the paw on the foam and then took a very sharp retractable knife (the type that you snap the tips of the blade off as they get dull) to carve out the shape. I took a few blocks of black foam I got from some packing boxes at work. I opted to extend my hand and use my thumb as a true dog fifth digit which is slightly back and usually just looks like a nail protruding from the leg. Rather than cramming my extra finger into a paw digit. I wanted my paws to really look more like dog paws with 4 digits. Most people who make paws usually opt for basically covering gloves with fur or sewing the fur into a glove shape.
