*FAQs!!! PLEASE READ BEFORE COMMENTING!* 1)Q: *Will you make me a tail?* A: Yes I will. I have some up on my etsy: (www.etsy.com/shop/Zullala) and I am willing to make you a custom tail. I charge $3 an inch. 2) Q: *Can I use this method to make a MLP/horse tail?* A: It might work ok for PinkyPie, but if ya'll want to make a horse tail, you should check out my video: ruclips.net/video/SM_TEkUoQZg/видео.html (My Little Pony Tail Tutorial (Super Basic)) ^__^ 3) Q: *Is it normal to have so much extra fluff left over in the brush?* A: Yes, this is completely normal. You can use the extra fluff as stuffing. 4) Q: *What brand of yarn do you use?* A: "I Love This Yarn" brand, specifically "520 Naturals Stripes I Love this Yarn!". 5) Q: *I can't get that brand, what else can I use?* A: Yarns that are 100% Acrylic or 100% wool usually work out. Buy several different brands, make one knotted fluff with each brand, brush each knotted fluff out, then straiten it, and compare the knotted fluffs to see which is your favorite. Then exchange the yarns that you did not like for the yarn you did like. 6) Q: *Can I use Red Heart yarn?* A: Yes, you can use it. I personally don't like it because I think the fibers stick together and it's not as soft as I Love This Yarn. 7) Q: *What color is the yarn used in the video?* A: I'm using "520 Naturals Stripes I Love this Yarn!", but I normally don't pay attention to the names of the colors when I buy the yarn. I take a picture of a real tail with me and hold the picture up to the yarns and see if the color of the yarn is in the tail. 8) Q: *What weight and ply was the yarn you used?* A: It was 7oz and I don't remember the ply. 9) Q: *Does the base have to be a 4 strand braid, can I used a 3 strand braid?* A: Yes, it has to be a 4 strand braid so that there will be a place to put the elastic loop. Also, "Gilbert Beilschmidt" said he used an old T-shirt to make his 4 strand braid base. It's a good alternative to yarn. 10) Q: *How long is the tail?* A: 29in long. 11) Q: *How long is the guide string?* A: It is 6in long. 12) Q: *How many fluffs do you use?* A: YOU DON'T COUNT THE FLUFFS. That would take forever haha. I used 1 skein of yarn for the base and 5 skeins for the fluffs. 13) Q: *How many skeins of yarn do you use to make your tail?* A: 1 skein for the base and 5 skeins for the fluffs 14) Q: *If I make my tail X inches long and my base X inches wide, how much yarn will I need?* A: I have no idea, I don't do math. 15) Q: *How can I make a cat tail?* A: Make the base of the tail about the width of a half dollar and also make your fluffs shorter, maybe 1 or 2 inches long. That should yield a cat tail. For a more realistic effect make the end of your tail a little fluffier than the base. 16) Q: *How do you attach the tail?* A: I just slip a belt through the elastic loop and belt it on. You can prolly also clip the tail to your costume, sew it on, or velcro it on. Use your imagination. 17) Q: *Can I use my hairbrush?* A: A NORMAL BRUSH WILL NEVER WORK! Use a DOG BRUSH or CAT BRUSH. I suggest splurging for a the $5 dog brush because it has a button on it that helps you get the fluff out. It helps you from poking your fingers. The tail that I have made in the video is specifically a wolf tail. It's extra large and fluffy! SOOooo super cuddly :D!
OMG, did you REALLY post a comment about this right under the FAQs?FOR THE LOVE OF GOD use your reading skills D: ! The answer is written twice in the FAQs and once in the video! FAQs: 3) and 5)
Thank you Zullala I'm going to make it a little smaller because I want to make a custome of a 9-tailed fox so I have to make nine in white and I'm also going to put some wire in the middle because with nine tails it could look messy so I want to put them in a specific position, you are amazing really thank you so so much!!!
Little late but I use red heart it is not as soft but yet sometimes it is, it just depends. I also love lion brand yarn. It is my absolute favorite to use, I get the medium kind so it's alot fluffier.
Hey everyone! Just thought I'd share a tip. When measuring and cutting your yarn, tie the knot BEFORE you cut the yarn! This will free up both your hands for cutting since you won't be worried about holding the yarn is position! I found this much easier than the other way around. =)
I made this to wear to school and pretty much everyone didn't bully me. it made me very happy about how it looked! now today a teacher comes up to me and says that I should stop wearing my tail and I'm like "why? it makes me happy" now, I made the tail, I bought the yarn (8$ for yarn) and my family doesn't have a lot of money. she says "there's a time and a place for everything and tails for classes isn't the right time. I have a job, what if I showed up with a tail? school is like a job, its YOUR job. see, it's like my game on my phone, its fun to play but there's a time and a place for it." I don't play with it during class or distract others from working. if you play a game, you're not getting your work done but I'm getting my work done on time and getting perfect grades. wearing a tail is who I am and I don't want to change. please, comment suggestions because I don't want to give up wearing tails just to please her. (FYI, she's not a very important teacher for me, just my reading groups on friday.)
I had that same problem when I was in highschool too but it wasn't not my job to come to school, it's the teacher's job to come to school. I was government mandated to show up to school And nothing in the dress code said I couldn't wear it haha. And yeah as long as you are doing your work so what. Everybody is expressing their style when they are in school.
A lot of times teachers only think about office or corporate jobs when they give advice like this. The truth is high school is a peak time to express lovely weirdness. I’m a hairstylist in a relatively conservative area of southeastern PA in a large higher end salon and my quirkiness and unique style is one of the things my clients love about me. 90% of the clients I have are very conventional in their style but they know I’m meticulous and thorough. One of my most conservative older clients I 1st met when I was wearing a cat ear headband. The fact is your personality will lead you to a career that suits who you are and who you are as you grow.
I could understand if it was genuinely distracting other kids (i.e. kids were playing with it or talking about it instead of working), but if it's not a distraction and it's not like so big it's blocking the hallway or causing you to run into things, then I don't see a problem here at all. I think that's really cool! The only thing I could think of is if it's small enough to fit in your backpack, maybe take it off when you get to that class. 🤷♀️
@@heatherkinney8976 I'd love to have tou as a hairdresser lol, all thr ones around here are nooty and boring, ofc conservative area as well. i guess I'll have to drive up there all the way from WV lol, I mean it's only 3-5 hours away lol
I've made several tails from this tutorial, one being a tail for Nepeta (homestuck) another for Umbreon (Pokemon, and my first tail) and the most recent one being for Foxy (Five Nights at Freddy's) but I'm finally coming back to make a realistic wolf tail, and I'm going to make it the best one yet! Thank you so much for this tutorial!
When you use a skein for the tail base, do you know how many yards that is? My skein was weird and has over 1000 yards but I dont think the base uses that many yards
I am making one right now, and I love how well you explained it all, the supplies cost me only 5€ on wool and a pet brush, so that's amazing, and since I'm able to make it myself, it will be the colors I want it to be! Thank you a million times for this tutorial!
I know when I first started making my yarn tails I was sOOooo super excited to sell them... then halfway through I realized the time needed was not worth the money I could charge hahaha. I am so glad everyone liked your tail ^^
Thank you for this tutorial! I actually used it for a more unorthodox use; I wanted to make a nice mustache for a Monopoly Man costume (as we have to have our costumes tonight for a thing), and I remembered this tutorial. I'm glad to say that it turned out pretty well! There were some mistakes I made, but overall, it's MUCH better than what I could have done otherwise!
Also, your tutorial was SO helpful. One of the best put together tutorials I've ever seen! Good sound, video quality, and your instructions were easy to follow and were done at a reasonable pace :D
Oww this tutorial is just perfect. I think I'm gonna use it to make a Cheshire cat tail, just hope that I won't have any problem with the stripes... Thank you so much for sharing your talents !
When doing the stripes, color in the stripes on the base of the tail. That way you will know exactly when to switch colors as you are sewing :) . So glad to have been helpful.
Thank you for the advice! I let go of my perfectionist side to rows and sewed them on randomly... and now, I got a beautiful brown fox tail! Thank you for showing this tutorial, it was extremely helpful! Now,, I (and the many people who've done the same tail) will have awesome self-confidence instead of wearing a pillow. You're awesome!
Zullala i saw etsy it said “doesnt ship my country” and i just wanted to ask for aaron ears and tail which is red tips but i mean i would make it myself i just dont know where to get the yarn and i could show you a picture of what i mean to be more specific
Ninja Midnight Oh were you trying to order the custom listing? Because that's for a specific person who lives in the US and can only be purchased by the person who requested it. I purchase yarn from hobby lobby online. I don't know what places ship to your country but if you type acrylic yarn into Google and then press the shipping tab it should bring up yarn that can be shipped to you :3
Ninja Midnight if you're young you'll want to talk to a parent before purchasing anything online. Good luck and I hope you are able to find the yarn ^^
I never would have thought yarn could be used in such a way before. I'm a Fox Fur, and after stumbling apon this tutorial, I now plan to make my own. I been wanting to buy one for years now, but all the fox tails I see were either not the size I wanted, not the right color, and all stuffed and not wiggly like the ones you've made. So I believe this tut will help me out a bunch, so thank you for making this when you did. I plan on making a deep red color with a pure whit tip.
sweet thanks. i might have to make one in the next couple of days. they look better than anything ive seen online or at the store. very glad i held out and found your vids!!
Haha it's ok, you can still make a tail from it. I just find that the rivers stick to themselves and break off a bit easier. However others said it has worked fine for them :3
This is just the most awesomest way to make a fluffy tail!!! I'm making one for a future cosplay (Caster(Tamamo-no-Mae) from "Fate/Extra") I'm gonna do and when I easily noticed how fluffy her tail was, I instantly remembered this video!
YOOO this tutorial is actually so awesome!! I only needed a tiny bit of tail fluff for a cosplay i needed and didnt wanna spend 20 dollars per yard at joannes 😅 ALSO I love your voice!!! you're so fun and easy to follow :> ❤
I'm so glad you made this video! It's actually very useful because I do t really have enough money to go out and buy that fur stuff ^~^ but, I have a ton of yarn at my house, this was so useful!
Thanks so much for sharing your technique. I don't think I have the patience to do a large tail, but I love the idea for my bjd's! I could see even attempting a wig using a similar method, and other items for my clay figures. I'm so inspired to try a few different things.
+LMB925 I'm so glad you liked the tutorial! And yes, you can certainly make wigs from yarn. I actually saw a good yarn wig tutorial by Kind of Derp. You might like to check that out too.
I've been making tails for about a year now and I would have never thought to use the toe hand method lol definitely going g to use it. I'll put up a picture of my next tail to show how I used your method
I know you said not to use RedHeart yarn but i found it really works for me, it doesn't break too easily for me. i tried the other yarn you use and they both work well for me.
I used this method to make several tails. this is by far the best way of making them.it takes a LOT of time to brush out all of the wool/yarn. I managed to make one of these in two days.curently im working on one thats about 30'' long.its taken about a week so far. It's best to use 100% acrilic wool,if you dont,your gonna end up with burnt wool/yarn.i wasted so many balls doing that. :)
Word's cannot explain how happy I am that I found your videos on how to do this! I'm going to attempt to make a yellow and pink tail for a nyanperona cosplay! Thanks so much!
I used Hometown USA Super bulky yarn to make mine, and it was a lot faster, and VERY THICK AND PRETTY. I don't think I wanna use any other yarn. It brushes out beautifully, straightener makes it nice and shiny, and it is just awesome :D
I used a chain once, but it made the tail more heavy than it needed to be. With the sewing, you don't need to be accurate with it. You can just randomly sew the fluffs on. Tying them on was a good idea too ^^. New, sewing vs tying the fluffs shouldn't make the tail any more or less fluffy. Yay so glad you finished your tail and like it.
Glad you found the video helpful and thank you :D I reference the picture of the real wolf tail the entire time. I sew color on in accordance to what I see on the pic. I'm sorry, but i don't remember the exact colors I used. I just took a pic of a real tail to the hobby store and then picked out colors that matched.
What I've seen so far with the few different yarns I have purchased is that the softer it feels, the better it will probably be for a tail, usually regardless of brand. And if you buy the right Red Heart yarn it works very well. You must have only used their cheap crappy yarn that comes in larger bundles. I tried that cheaper yarn of theirs once and it is definitely no good for yarn tails, but their other yarn which comes in bundles about half the size for about the same cost as the bigger ones works great.
So I couldn’t find an inexpensive Cheshire Cat tail for my costume but I found this tutorial and it saved my life! It make take some time but this seems like something I could make without failing miserably! Saved my life!
I used one of my dads old shirts for my base and it worked beautifully. Before I used such, I tried a yarn base and failed at making one, wasting three skeins of yarn. I found the shirt to work better for me as it was also a lightweight and free moving core that ended up to be very long and worked well for my height. It also helped with my sewing as it was my first yarn tail and sewing onto cotton was much easier for me. My tail turned out great and it moves as well as it would have if I were to use a yarn base.
i cant wait to make mine ! im also thinking by making a smaller one of it - i already figrued it how to do so ill make it a keychane or as a charm :3 thank you for the videos (part 1 and and two)
I'm still on the tuff's stage but this is an amazing time sink for when I'm at work and I need to keep my hands busy. (Night-shift elder care) it's very quiet, time consuming and you have to stay alert for it.This will make my Arcanine cosplay look amazing. Thank you so much for the guide.
I'm about to start a job that have 14hour shifts of sitting in a car so I'm going to use that time to make tuffs I work three days and have 4 off so between work shifts I can do the rest. I can't wait to start 💙💙💙

CAn you use a cat brish? I have no dog brush. ( sorry if you have answered this qusetion before 3X)
Years later this is still one of the better tutorials on fluff
And still is!
Me: * buys yarn * * finds video tutorial *
Video: don't use red heart yarn
Me: * looks at yarn * well shit
haha, you can still use it. It's just not as soft in my opinion. But give it a go since you already have it :3
Okay. Do you have any recommended yarn for future projects?
I like to use "I Love This Yarn" brand :)
Little late but I use red heart it is not as soft but yet sometimes it is, it just depends. I also love lion brand yarn. It is my absolute favorite to use, I get the medium kind so it's alot fluffier.

Haha some people said the Red Heart worked just fine for them, so try a few fluffs and see if you like it ^^. Maybe I just had a bad batch.
OK thank you! :)
hi zullala, I live in france and I don't know if I can use normal wool,because I don't find "I love this yarn" yarn
Ikr I have it to!
I am making one right now, and I love how well you explained it all, the supplies cost me only 5€ on wool and a pet brush, so that's amazing, and since I'm able to make it myself, it will be the colors I want it to be!

SLAYED ✨✨✨
We all know the pain of accidentally scraping the brush on your finger...
LPS Tinystar omg yes
Sunsiglo Pack I've stabbed myself with a brush and burnt myself with a hot glue gun many times, its not fun
I didn't wanna scratch my table so I brushed them out on my leg.
I cut my finger a few times
Right😂
My favourite saying;
"Well hello again again!"
I died and idk why
Ha ha!! Already messed up on the first tip... “don’t buy Red Heart yarn.” 😂
I used the red heart yarn and it worked great for me
Yea I find red heart works just find. It's craft smart that you really don't want to use
when I used red heart it fell apart :(
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I most likely won't want to wear this to school because of bullies but anywhere else, it would be perfect.
Wear that tail! Don't lisend to the bullies.
You sound like mable pines from gravity falls
Mable would be doing something like this XD
Cheryl Schofer YES THATS ALL I CAN HEAR. ITS AMAZING
How
No she dont
I don't hear it.
I've made 2 out of red heart yearn and it is very soft and never broke for me
I was trying to find something to use my brown and yellow yarn for, so I'm gonna test this to make an Eevee tail!
"I Love This Yarn" brand ^^
Also, your tutorial was SO helpful. One of the best put together tutorials I've ever seen! Good sound, video quality, and your instructions were easy to follow and were done at a reasonable pace :D
So glad you found this tutorial helpful!

Zullala I will try this as soon as possible, thank you again ! :3
Zullala Oh and just a question, what is the lenght of your skeins ? Because on the video they look much longer than mine (which are 125m of yarn)...
I'm sorry, I don't remember the length :(
Never mind, I will see how many fluffs my skeins will make :3 Thanks agaain ~
I've been using my cat brush.. and brushing groups of 2-3 will keep it from losing so much hair ;D
Thank you for the advice! I let go of my perfectionist side to rows and sewed them on randomly... and now, I got a beautiful brown fox tail! Thank you for showing this tutorial, it was extremely helpful! Now,, I (and the many people who've done the same tail) will have awesome self-confidence instead of wearing a pillow. You're awesome!
Rip i would want a custom ears and tail but it doesnt ship to my country and im not sure where to buy the yarn you used ;w;
Ninja Midnight I ship anywhere in the world :D. However I'm not taking on commissions for yarn tails at the moment :(

Ninja Midnight if you're young you'll want to talk to a parent before purchasing anything online.
Good luck and I hope you are able to find the yarn ^^
I would use this to make a cat tail I LOVE CATS 😻😻😻😻🐈🐅🐆

So I believe this tut will help me out a bunch, so thank you for making this when you did. I plan on making a deep red color with a pure whit tip.
You have so much enthusiasm!!! I never once got bored while watching this tutorial :) I can't wait to make a tail!
Thank you this was so helpful compared to other tutorials
Happy to help ^^

"Pro tip: Don't use Red Heart brand yarn."
I am using the two rolls I just bought to dry my tears of frustration. 😂
omg that's hilarious xD! Well some people said that the RH yearn worked fine for them, so you can give it a go ^^.
I honestly love the way the tail without flat ironing it. It's so fluffy. But you do you
You're so anime and precious thank you for this tutorial. I'm making a squirrel tail and adding a wire in my braid so it stays up!
How tf did I come here from a dark souls vid?
That... is a very good place you came from.
A "very good but dark and frustrating but badass at the same time" place indeed.
I've been wanting to play that!
*takes look at the brand of yarn I have.*
“Red Heart”
*screams in rage*
Haha it's ok, you can still make a tail from it. I just find that the rivers stick to themselves and break off a bit easier. However others said it has worked fine for them :3
I am so happy that this tutorial was helpful to you ^^.
thank you very much for the detailed tutorial, Zullala 💕
"I Love This Yarn"
Zullala what kind of yarn did you use the make the fluffs for the tail?? Thanks
'I love this yarn' yarn
This is just the most awesomest way to make a fluffy tail!!! I'm making one for a future cosplay (Caster(Tamamo-no-Mae) from "Fate/Extra") I'm gonna do and when I easily noticed how fluffy her tail was, I instantly remembered this video!
You are so talented! I saw part two and I just want to say THANK YOU!!!!!! Both videos were amazing 😆😆😆 please make more!!!!! ☺️💞
Milagros Diaz so glad you found my tuts useful and thank you! I also have an ear tut up as well :)
Now we need to make a knot. No no. Not THAT type of knot! ;)
LISTEN HERE YOU LITTLE FUCK NUGGET
What type of knot
Oh yay, I am so happy to hear that you finished and that you love the tail.
YOOO this tutorial is actually so awesome!! I only needed a tiny bit of tail fluff for a cosplay i needed and didnt wanna spend 20 dollars per yard at joannes 😅 ALSO I love your voice!!! you're so fun and easy to follow :> ❤
I love the dress u r wearing when you made the fluffs !
would've never guessed you could do that with yarn!!! amazing!!!!
This video is so calming!
Also, how long does it take for the yarn to get fluffy?
Cool. I'm going to try this. Also, love the skirt or dress you had on at the beginning.
Yay, I am so glad your tail came out well :D, congratz
OOOoo yellow and pink sounds so adorable! Good luck ^^
I'm so glad you made this video! It's actually very useful because I do t really have enough money to go out and buy that fur stuff ^~^ but, I have a ton of yarn at my house, this was so useful!
Thanks so much for sharing your technique. I don't think I have the patience to do a large tail, but I love the idea for my bjd's! I could see even attempting a wig using a similar method, and other items for my clay figures. I'm so inspired to try a few different things.
+LMB925 I'm so glad you liked the tutorial! And yes, you can certainly make wigs from yarn. I actually saw a good yarn wig tutorial by Kind of Derp. You might like to check that out too.
I've been making tails for about a year now and I would have never thought to use the toe hand method lol definitely going g to use it. I'll put up a picture of my next tail to show how I used your method
DeathPunk11394 haha it just seemed like the easiest way. I think table legs might work too. Oh, I want to see you picture ^^.
I know you said not to use RedHeart yarn but i found it really works for me, it doesn't break too easily for me. i tried the other yarn you use and they both work well for me.
Words cannot express HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU FOR THIS TUTORIAL. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!!!
I used this method to make several tails. this is by far the best way of making them.it takes a LOT of time to brush out all of the wool/yarn. I managed to make one of these in two days.curently im working on one thats about 30'' long.its taken about a week so far.
It's best to use 100% acrilic wool,if you dont,your gonna end up with burnt wool/yarn.i wasted so many balls doing that. :)
Word's cannot explain how happy I am that I found your videos on how to do this! I'm going to attempt to make a yellow and pink tail for a nyanperona cosplay! Thanks so much!
I'm making this for my daughter who's a therian. She will love it. Thank you so much for this tutorial 🐺❤
You are excellent at explaining and showing us how thank you for taking the time to make this video.
Glad you liked the tutorial and found it helpful
Glad you were able to find something that worked for you :D. I'm glad you are having fun. Thank you ^_^.
I used Hometown USA Super bulky yarn to make mine, and it was a lot faster, and VERY THICK AND PRETTY. I don't think I wanna use any other yarn. It brushes out beautifully, straightener makes it nice and shiny, and it is just awesome :D
this helped so much! i just finished my first tarn tail it its so pretty! thank you so much!!!!
This was made really well. I might make a tail soon and found this helpful
Aww I love your enthusiastic voice ❤️
Thank you!
I used a chain once, but it made the tail more heavy than it needed to be. With the sewing, you don't need to be accurate with it. You can just randomly sew the fluffs on. Tying them on was a good idea too ^^. New, sewing vs tying the fluffs shouldn't make the tail any more or less fluffy. Yay so glad you finished your tail and like it.
I did this and lets say
I was in love!
Also I used the yarn that doesn't work. And it was true it barely even worked.
Why thank you :D I'm glad you were able to finish your tail and that you are happy with it ^^
This is so easy!! I can't wait to do this!!
aaaaah omg! that tail is soooo cute! I might make this!
Glad you found the video helpful and thank you :D
I reference the picture of the real wolf tail the entire time. I sew color on in accordance to what I see on the pic. I'm sorry, but i don't remember the exact colors I used. I just took a pic of a real tail to the hobby store and then picked out colors that matched.
Yea I just remembered that. I've started mine ^~^ it's so fluffy as I continue ^~^ Can't wait til it's finished
What I've seen so far with the few different yarns I have purchased is that the softer it feels, the better it will probably be for a tail, usually regardless of brand. And if you buy the right Red Heart yarn it works very well. You must have only used their cheap crappy yarn that comes in larger bundles. I tried that cheaper yarn of theirs once and it is definitely no good for yarn tails, but their other yarn which comes in bundles about half the size for about the same cost as the bigger ones works great.
Love the easy to follow tutorial. Thanks!
Oh wow so awesome will use this i love how you call them fluffs
Thanks a million, this tutorial (and the second part) Was freaking awesome and SUPER helpful!
This tut is so good thanks love!
Thank you so much! The tutorial is very helpful!
So I couldn’t find an inexpensive Cheshire Cat tail for my costume but I found this tutorial and it saved my life! It make take some time but this seems like something I could make without failing miserably! Saved my life!
this is amazing it really helped with my yarn tail projects that I am making
in fact I made a fox tail that that is really huge.
thanks zullala!!!!! my tail came out great!
I used one of my dads old shirts for my base and it worked beautifully. Before I used such, I tried a yarn base and failed at making one, wasting three skeins of yarn. I found the shirt to work better for me as it was also a lightweight and free moving core that ended up to be very long and worked well for my height. It also helped with my sewing as it was my first yarn tail and sewing onto cotton was much easier for me. My tail turned out great and it moves as well as it would have if I were to use a yarn base.
Did you just use one shirt? Would one t shirt be good enough? I want to use a t shirt but I feel like it wouldn't be thick enough.
+Katrina Tia-Jasmine I used an XL cotton shirt and braided it as said. It made a 30" tail
+FoxSky _ okay, thanks for the reply ^^
The light base is the solid yarn base (like in this tutorial). The heavy base had a small chain in the center of the braided yarn.
Oh yay, thank you! Good luck on your tail ^^
How very talented!!!!! Thanx for the tutorial. I'm so subscribing now
This is so helpful! You explain things very well :)
Oh my glob thank you thank you thaaank you! I had been looking for a good tutorial for this and your is perfect :'D

Oh yay, I am so happy that you enjoyed the tutorial ^__^
I'm still on the tuff's stage but this is an amazing time sink for when I'm at work and I need to keep my hands busy. (Night-shift elder care) it's very quiet, time consuming and you have to stay alert for it.This will make my Arcanine cosplay look amazing. Thank you so much for the guide.
Heh, I also work the night shift taking care of people. It really is a good time sink :D
glad it's working out for you :)
I'm about to start a job that have 14hour shifts of sitting in a car so I'm going to use that time to make tuffs I work three days and have 4 off so between work shifts I can do the rest. I can't wait to start 💙💙💙
Thanks so much im making mines rn! This is rlly helpful :)
I have so much free time so I can't wait to start on this!
Thank you so much this was so helpful. I really appreciate it
This tutorial was super helpful. I'm using my tail as therian gear :)
