I wanted to be a bright, orange fox but needed a twist – so I came up with the Car Fox (from the Car Fax commercials)! It was so fun to be the Car Fox and have a unique costume that made people snap their fingers and say “haaaah!”
There are 6 parts to the costume – arm cuffs, hood, boot covers, tail, shirt, and pants.
Materials used: 1.5 yd orange fur fabric, 0.5 yd white fur fabric, 12” square of black fur fabric, less than a qtr of pink fuzzy fabric, thick craft foam sheet, fluff, thick elastic, white tee shirt, black sharpie, iron-on letters, jeans
*Optional - Manic Panic electric lava hair dye (although it turned out red instead of orange - still love it), orange lashes, red lipliner for brows

Materials: orange/ white fur
This was the easiest to make, so I made it first. This was the first time I had ever used my sewing machine (I had previously used the sewing genie and mostly hand-stitched everything) so I wanted to ease myself into it. After many youtube tutorials, I was good to go ;)
For each cuff, I cut out a rectangle of orange fur (about 7” long) and a much thinner white portion.
Sidenote: cut the fur from the backside with a utility knife if you can – don’t use scissors or the fur will get everywhere. It still did get everywhere, but it would’ve been way worse with scissors. I laid it down on a towel over carpet, so clean up was easy.
I sewed the white portion to the orange (make sure that the fur is going the same direction) and that was that. Super easy!
