Thanks! I got three masks on eBay -- here's a link, they still have 3 more and they are still on sale!! Mine had the original KMart price on them of $12.99 -- and they are on sale on eBay for $6.25 plus $5.45 shipping, so it's still cheaper than buying them at the store!

The only problem with these is there is a slit above the werewolf's eyes for the person wearing the mask to see out of -- but I just took a needle and some black thread and sewed it shut -- worked fine and gave the first mask an even more evil look -- I still have to do it on the second one once the paint dries.

Well shoot! "Sale ended" I guess I will have to keep a look out! Maybe Kmart will have them again this year. That is a good deal on a mask though for the purpose. Now just to find faux fur that doesnt cost an arm and a leg!

Oh, sorry about that! I bet if you email them, they would relist it on eBay. I also checked their web site and they have them there but they are back up to $6.99, still not a bad price, though. The fur is a problem - it is expensive at JoAnn's and I checked eBay and it's really expensive there. All together for these two deer I used almost all of the yard and 7/8 that I bought, luckily I had a 40% off coupon for that, which really helped a lot.

this is one of the coolest ideas I have seen. I've got to m ake me some!!!

Both of those wolves look too good to NOT make one!
I've got all the parts except the fur, so I'm gonna get started!
Thanks for the inspiration!
Those dogs checking out the wolves are priceless!

JoAnn's still has 40% off a single cut of "by the yard" fabric through August 29th (next Saturday) -- here's a link to the printable coupon!

Oh - and be sure to post some pics here so we can see 'em!! The more, the merrier, or should I say "the scarier?"

Thanks for the coupon link, but I don't have a Joann's in my area.

Anybody know if Sloppy Lobby (Hobby Lobby) sells fur fabric??

Dave you can order online at Joanns and use the coupon.

I tried ordering the fur online at JoAnn's with an online coupon, and even though I ordered two yards, they only applied the coupon to ONE yard of it and charged me the full price for the second yard -- apparently they don't send a continuous cut, but two separate cuts of one yard each.

On the plus side, it only took about a yard for each wolf -- I bought two yards and still have some fur left over even.
