We're getting the Textile Straw Badge polished up but need some help brainstorming for the fur list.

(keep in mind that fur is optional so to keep the badge vegan-doable)

We need some ideas for feltwork that involve creating (we already have some repair stuff) finished items that take between 0.5 to 6 hours for an experienced person to make (but might take longer for someone just learning)

I have no idea how textiley these are or if they're the complexity you're looking for:

Earmuffs
Scarf
Muff (tube of fur you hang around your waist to stick your hands in during winter)
Hat (I'm assuming this is too hard)
Coonskin hat (I'm assuming this is too hard)
Stole (isn't that just a scarf?  Beats me...)

How about a pouch?  Smallish external pocket thingy to hang on your belt.

ideas:

make fur insoles for winter boots?

make a headband/earwarmer?

make a fur hat?

make a cape/shawl/stole to cover your shoulders? between shoulder to elbow length.
