  • Twist the ends of two pipe cleaners together and put them in the center of the bubble wrap strip. Roll the bubble wrap into a long cylinder, flap side down so it doesn’t unroll on you.

  • Get a pantyhose knee-high, and put in on over the bubble wrap cylinder, just as if you were putting on socks. Make sure that you bring the sock all the way up so the bubble wrap is covered completely.
  • Pick up the pants and determine approximately where coccyx (tail bone) is, and pin the tail and rhinestones there.

  • Sew the rhinestones and tail on to the pants in that spot, and remove the pins. Use some of the same ribbon used for making the bow on cat costume tail
