Faux black fur
Faux white fur
Wire coat hanger

Instructions:
Take a wire hanger and bend it into a diamond shape, breaking off the hook. Cover it with faux black fur completely; you can either sew or hot glue it. Take a white strip of faux fur down the middle of the tail. You can either sew or glue with hot glue gun. Sew the one half of the velcro strip across the bottom of the tail. Bend your tail in the middle to give it a little curve.

Now take your black jumpsuit and sew or glue a piece of black faux fur down the middle. Sew or glue a smaller strip of white down the middle of the black. Add the other half of the velcro to the butt area by sewing or hotglue. Attach the two velcro strips together to attach the tail to the suit. Take the clear nylon thread and attach it to the top of the tail and also to the fur area allowing enough length that the tail can bounce when they walk.

Take a black headband and glue two ears cut out of felt the have been stiffened with stiff stuff. Add a small piece of both faux furs in the middle between the two ears.
