How to Make Gertrude Mcfuzz's Huge Tail in the Seussical

Gather your "feathers." You should use one or more (or all) of the following: FeathersMake Gertrude Mcfuzz's Huge Tail in the Seussical Step 1Bullet1.jpg BoasMake Gertrude Mcfuzz's Huge Tail in the Seussical Step 1Bullet2.jpg Fabric scrapsMake Gertrude Mcfuzz's Huge Tail in the Seussical Step 1Bullet3.jpg RibbonMake Gertrude Mcfuzz's Huge Tail in the Seussical Step 1Bullet4.jpg GarlandMake Gertrude Mcfuzz's Huge Tail in the Seussical Step 1Bullet5.jpg LaceMake Gertrude Mcfuzz's Huge Tail in the Seussical Step 1Bullet6.jpg

Figure out the colors of the "feathers." If Gertrude's dress is a warm color such as red, pink, orange or yellow, use those color "feathers" plus white. If her dress is a cool color such as green, blue or purple, use those color feathers plus white. If her dress is any other color, consider a costume change.

Put all of the materials together with all ends together, but just the one end, like a bouquet. Fasten with a white ribbon.

Put the tail in a bag.

Fasten the bag to the INSIDE of Gertrude's costume.

Put a hole in the costume where the bag is.

When Gertrude sings about her new tail growing, Bird Girls will surround her slowly pulling out her tail. (Without the audience knowing, of course.)
