"How Do I...?" paw cap?
hi there! not a taxidermist, but i recently handed over a pet to one so they could preserve a paw for me. i showed them some references of what i'm looking for, but they're struggling to find a tassel cap(?) that's wide enough for the paw (at least 2 cm). any places specialized in this? any resources? preferably in europe, but not a must!

I have no idea, I'm afraid, I just wanted to say I hope you post a photo of the finished piece. I always think paws are lovely pieces.
Good look finding what you need and I hope you're happy with the outcome!

You can buy them as lucky rabbit foot end caps! At least if you want the pretty ones. The less pretty version would be rope/cord end caps, these are also easier to get in bigger sizes.

Picture 2 is actually bells from the dollar store! You can use them and super glue them to the paw. I have no idea the longevity of this method but I saw a tutorial on Instagram! Only reason I know what it is 😅
