If you look on the bay of E, there are some on there.

Otherwise what about socks with some fake hair stuck on. I am sure pounl*nd would have something that can be cut up and stuck on.

Sorry I am not all that creative.

I am doing the same, I am stuffing pop socks with cotton wool and stitching the toes in then putting hair on top. The pop sock will be worn over normal shoes but the leg bit inside the shoes. I have seen a tutorial for it , will try and find it

Thanks for you replies.What do you think of a pair of skin coloured socks with brown wool pulled through for hair and worn over his shoes.I had a look on a site called "Pinterest" and some were brill but way above my abilities!I'll give the sock idea a go.

pop socks is a great idea, i would get him to put them on with the shoes he is going to be wearing, then pin skin coloured felt near the ankle, shape the felt into a foot looking shape and attach wool hair (sew, pull through, or glue), take off, sew altogether and get rid of pins etc then sew a bit of elastic to go under the shoe and button or snap fasten at the other side.
