Black Fox Tail

DIY Fox tail to shake around

https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/black-fox-tail • Posted by Mousey

I had these fuzzy stuffed animals that I didn't really want - but I have this thing where I can't throw away stuffed animals & I don't know why. So I chopped them up & sewed them into these cute tails that I've been wanting for some time. I made 3 in different sizes. One big black tail with a little pink bow out of an old stuffed penguin Two smaller tails, one tan & one white from a teddy bear.

Instructions

    Dismantle your fuzzy stuffed toy of choice & un-stuff him or her.

    I find the backs of the toys are best to use since the pieces are larger & you can cut the shape of your tail as you see fit. Pin & sew wrong side out leaving an opening to put the stuffing in.

    I stuffed it just a little bit to leave wiggle room for the tail to wag as you walk :)

    This photo is from the white mini tail. After you stuff your tail - take your Key ring & put it in half way. Sew into place & add a little chain or clasp so you can clip it onto your bag or jeans

    For my medium tan tail I took a brown sharpie and swiped carefully along the top of the fuzz to create the dark tip that some fox tails have
