If you’re dressing up like a squirrel for Halloween, you want to make sure to have a life-like tail to accompany the rest of your costume.

Buy some brown felt fabric (or faux-fur fabric if your budget allows) and sew it in the shape of a squirrel tail (inside-out so that the seams will be on the inside of the tail). Stuff it with leftover fabric or packing materials to give it some volume. You can even ad some wiring inside it in order to make sure that it stays vertical. Attach it to your costume with safety pins or sew it to your costume.

Add some packing peanuts and a little bit of sewing know how and you can make an ingenious squirrel tail. Fold the faux fur in half with the right sides, or furry sides, together. Imagine how wide you want your tail to be and start cutting at that width. For instance if you want a tail that is approximately five inches wide, start cutting five inches away from the fold. Consider how long you want the tail to be. Cut a straight line to approximate the length you desire. For example, if you want a tail that is 12 inches long, cut a 12-inch line. As you reach the top, arch your cut to form a curve. Squ
