How to make a child skunk costume

Step 3 Make the tail

Make the tail by cutting out two identical pieces of black fabric. Now cut out the white stripe and sew it onto one of the pieces of black fabric. Then sew the two halves of the tail together and fill them with the polyfill stuffing and sew up the base of the tail. Sew the base of the tail onto the sweatshirt, lining up the stripes. Make sure the stripes of the tail are facing up (we actually screwed this up!) Our tail was a bit too heavy so we ended up attaching it to the back of the sweatshirt with a safety pin so it wouldn't drag on the ground.

Now draw some whiskers on your youngster and you're ready to go trick or treating!
