Last year my two year old son did not like masks.  I went to a fabric store and purchased a remnant of tiger fur.  I paid 1.79 for it.  I folded the fabric in half and I cut a tank top shape out of it.  I sewed the sides and shoulders together and it was perfect for a scared-of-Halloween two year old.  After he had it on, he wanted a tail and ears.  We used a wire covered with fabric for the tail and a ear headband to sew the tiger ears on. He is three now and still plays with it.  -- Lisa from MN
