Making posable tail out of kandi

Purple_LOL 7/28/2024 09:17 pm 514

so im making a tail for a cosplay & i need some help figuring out what to put inside of the tail to make it posable. It's already flexible, but it wouldn't stay in a certain position if it wasn't bent. anyone have ideas for a material i could use to achieve this? 5148b8c8a7991_confused.gif

Wire is definitely the way to go. I've made fursuits for about 11 years and have made a few tails like this (just covered in fur instead of being made of beads, same concept) and I've found a very important factor to being able to pose them with any portions that are more upright, having a solid base that runs through a belt is very important. Wrapping the wire around the base & belt loops stabilizes it against your body better to help keep it up. Just something to keep in mind if you haven't considered it yet!

if you have them, a metal coat hanger would be a very thick kind of wire! if you can't do that, then try stuffing it with fluff

You could maybe use metal wiring?? If its the type of wire that can be bent into shape and stay in the shape it could probably work well
