Tail:

Cut 3 strands of brown yarn twice as long as you want the tail (so, if you want the tail 1.5 inches long, cut your strands 3 inches long). Using all three strands, loop them around a crochet stitch in the appropriate area. Pull the ends so that six strands are all the same length and then braid. Tie off at the end and trim excess yarn if needed.
