Black Fox Tail

DIY Fox tail to shake around

I had these fuzzy stuffed animals that I didn't really want - but I have this thing where I can't throw away stuffed animals & I don't know why.
So I chopped them up & sewed them into these cute tails that I've been wanting for some time. I made 3 in different sizes.

One big black tail with a little pink bow out of an old stuffed penguin

Two smaller tails, one tan & one white from a teddy bear.

You Will Need (1 thing)

  • Old Stuffed Animal Or Fuzzy Fabric

Steps (6 steps, 30 minutes)

  1. 1

    Dismantle your fuzzy stuffed toy of choice & un-stuff him or her.

  2. 2

    I find the backs of the toys are best to use since the pieces are larger & you can cut the shape of your tail as you see fit.

    Pin & sew wrong side out leaving an opening to put the stuffing in.

  3. 3

    I stuffed it just a little bit to leave wiggle room for the tail to wag as you walk :)

  4. 4

    This photo is from the white mini tail.
    After you stuff your tail - take your Key ring & put it in half way.
    Sew into place & add a little chain or clasp so you can clip it onto your bag or jeans

  5. 5

    For my medium tan tail I took a brown sharpie and swiped carefully along the top of the fuzz to create the dark tip that some fox tails have

    Last but not least!

    Wear it <3
