So this year I'll be going as Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon.

I'll be dressing in a black shirt and black leggings. I have wings and a tail, but I still need to buy something to attach to the end for the tail for the red and black.

I have makeup in which I'll try to draw some scales on my face.
This would be the ideal:

Any ideas how to achieve the ears and spines?? I'm sure I'll have to craft it somehow...

Any help/ideas/comments would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Awww. Very cute idea for a costume. I'm sure it'll be a awesome.

No clues as far as how to do it except maybe using sheets of craft foam. If you want to get fancy you could probably try stencilling the scale pattern on the foam using some of that truck bed liner spray - that *might* give a cool texture. Or it might be a complete fail. Or just total overkill.

Look forward to seeing this progress though.

Craft foam can be found basically anywhere, right? Or do I make a special trip to JoAnn's or Hobby Lobby or...

I wonder...could I find some the below material and paint it on over the foam?

That makes it scaly, right? Or if it's too much effort I could draw the scales myself...we'll see.

Perhaps buy a headband and attach something for ears and spines?
