Faux fur
Step 1

Go to your local market and buy some faux fur - it can be really cheap, and looks just as good as the real thing.

Draw a teardrop shape on the fur
Step 2

Turn over the material, and draw a teardrop shape using a piece of chalk. Draw it at the edges of the material so you don't waste any.

Cut out the shape with a craft knife
Step 3

Create tension in the material by using your index finger and thumb to pull the material apart. Use a craft knife to cut out the shape.

Glue fur
Step 4

Use fabric glue to glue around the edges of the material.

Fold edges of the material
Step 5

Get rid of the raw edges by folding them in to the centre of the material. Your material should now form a tail shape.

Push hair pin through a cap
Step 6

Push a hair pin through a clasp.

Use pliers to create a loop

Attach a jump ring to the loop, and then add the keyring to the jump ring.

Stitch the ends of the tail
Step 9

Stitch the top of the fox tail to secure the seam.

Stitch keyring to tail
Step 10

Stitch the keyring to the fox tail.
