How to make a squirrel costume/tail?
My 10 year old son, he wants to be a grey squirrel for halloween. But how in the heck do I make him a tail? I figure a coat hangar or some type of bendable sturdy piece to make it have that squirrel friskiness, but how would one go about adding and covering the hangar to make a tail big enough? He’ll be wearing grey sweats, and we are painting his face, but he’s 10 and getting like he’s too old for halloween, so it is gonna have to be a good tail. He says it has to be a cool tail cause he doesn’t want his friends making fun. I tried to tell him they didn’t last year, and he was a GIRL, dress and all last year for halloween. Please, any craftys out there who can help? I’d like to keep it cheap, if possible, and easy, so he can help. Thanks
Plait some wool.
Cut a stip of furry fabric.
P.S:He’s not too old I know 16-year-olds still doing Halloween!
