Step 1Go to your local market and buy some faux fur - it can be really cheap, and looks just as good as the real thing.
Step 2Turn 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.
Step 3Create 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.
Step 4Use fabric glue to glue around the edges of the material.
Step 5Get rid of the raw edges by folding them in to the centre of the material. Your material should now form a tail shape.
Step 6Push a hair pin through a clasp.
Step 7Use pliers to create a loop at one end.
Step 8Attach a jump ring to the loop, and then add the keyring to the jump ring.
Step 9Stitch the top of the fox tail to secure the seam.
Step 10Stitch the keyring to the fox tail.
Step 11Clip the fox tail on to your clutch bag.
