Description Here is a photo of the completed left hand/arm for my costume project. The right hand is the same so there are no photos of it currently.

The claws are made from molded hot glue painted with high gloss paint. The paw pads are made from a piece of wash cloth wrapped in duct tape, and has no grip at all… At some point I might either buy a set of rubber paw pads or make my own. There is Velcro down the left side of the lower arm closing up the hole to allow my hand through if needed.

This is actually incredibly innovative! I've been fascinated by creature costuming for a while, but never thought it'd be possible to try with my tiny college kid budget. Your clever methods of simply making stuff work have really inspired me!

I would have never thought to use hot glue for claws: are they pretty sturdy? They sure turned out nice.
