- 1). Measure your head just above the ears. Write the circumference down on a piece of paper.
- 2). Measure a section of poster board or construction paper 4 inches wide and 1 inch longer than the circumference of your head. Mark the boundaries of the strip with a pencil and cut along the lines.
- 3). Wrap the band around your head and staple it closed, leaving an extra inch of flap where you will attach the raccoon tail later.
- 4). Cut out strips of brown, gray and beige crepe paper that are 2 inches wide and as long as the circumference of your head.
- 5). Make small cuts on the lower edge of the strip approximately 1/2 inch apart to create a fringe effect.
- 6). Glue the strips to the head band in overlapping rows of alternating colors.
- 7). Cut out an 8-by-10-inch strip of brown crepe paper and twist it into a rope. Staple both ends to keep it from unraveling.
- 8). Cut 2-by-10-inch strips of brown, gray and beige paper and fringe them. Twist them around the rope, gluing them together at both ends. This forms the raccoon's tail.
- 9). Staple the tail to the 1-inch flap on the headband.
