Cut triangles from leapord or tiger-print fake fur, or even black felt, and attach to a headband for ears. Use an eyebrow pencil to paint whiskers on your cheeks and blacken the tip of your nose. Dress in black jeans and a black sweater, a black sweatsuit or even tights. Meow-or-treat! Posted October 13, 2007 |
