Tips

Faux fur can get very warm, so wear lightweight, breathable layers underneath.
If you use hot glue to attach the face pieces, place a piece of cardboard inside the hood first so the glue doesn't seep through and stick the hood shut.
Keep the face elements lightweight so the hood doesn't fall forward over your eyes.
