Fellow Portland Mama, Heidi, from Humble Luna, makes these adorable and durable costume tails that every and any kid would love. You may remember her from my Monday Must Have: Children’s Halloween Costumes post last month. Well now she’s offering up a Dragon Tail from her shop to one of you! How cool is that!?!
Heidi loves sewing and drawing. She started making children’s costumes 8 years ago when her daughter Sophie was born. (Isn’t it interesting how many of us start on our crazy crafting journeys when we have kids?) While designing costumes as an intern at the Portland Children’s Museum, Heidi came up with the idea for these Dragon Tails. They are a safe, easy to put on dress-up toy that also appeals to both boys and girls.
If you are local and would like to buy one of these great Dragon Tails check out Piccolina on 26th and SE Clinton or Plue on SE Woodstock and 44th. You can also find Humble Luna at Milagros‘ (5433 N.E.30th Ave) fundraiser for Mercy Corps. This Holiday Bazaar is on December 5th from 11am-3pm.
Everybody else can check out her etsy shop. Make sure to check back often! Heidi is planning on adding hand painted butterfly/fairy wings and other costume pieces soon. Just write The Handmade Experiment into the seller’s notes and receive a 20% discount!!
Now for the giveaway!

I love these! I went to school with Heidi. She makes beautiful and awesome things. She made a giraffe tail for my son that he loves so much . It’s amazingly well made and he’ll be able to wear it for many more years. We plan on buying two of these for a niece and nephew.
Oh my, how cute!!! I know my kids would love this green and yellow tail, which is reminiscent of their favourite Australian dinosaur character!

Dragon tails. What a great idea.
We always tell our youngest that we had her tail docked at birth (well my husband thinks it’s funny anyway). Imagine if she woke up one morning with a tail….

My son adores his dragon tail! Some days he is a fire breathing dragon or when the mood strikes a ferocious dinosaur. Often times he is a scary monster waiting behind a door to jump out and make mama scream. Thanks so much for your beatiful work. Our tail has been with us for two years and still looks new.
