Tips

Use a flexible craft wire inside the stuffed tail so you can bend and shape the curl to keep it off the ground.
If making this for a toddler, ensure the tail is lightweight and securely fastened so it doesn't trip them up.
For outdoor trick-or-treating, choose a fleece hoodie to keep warm, or size up to layer warm clothes underneath.
