• Step 1

  Cut out a diamond shaped paper template for the spikes. I used a diamond 10cm tall by 7cm wide. Cut out 9 spikes from green felt.

  Pin the spikes down the centre of the hood and back

  Step 6

  To create the tail you need to create a piece of felt long enough. I only have A4 pieces of felt so I had to sew 2 pieces together and cut off the excess. Our tail was 40cm long. Cut out more green felt diamond shapes and sew them down the centre of the large felt piece leaving an approx 10cm gap at the top.

  Fold the tail in half length ways and pin. Sew the tail together leaving the top open.

  Turn the tail right side out and stuff. Sew the top together making sure the seam is at the centre back of the tail to create the 3D shape.

  Step 11

  To make the tail removable sew poppers to the top of the tail and trouser waistband. Otherwise sew the tail in place.
