  After doing hours of research on this website, going through heaps of threads about building tails, I finally braved the task and built my first ever tiger tail. To give it a bit more weight I have used a thin chain down the middle inside and have a small length of wire in the bottom to give the tail a bit of a curl. I have also added a small wire frame in the top to hook under the belt. I then use a ribbon, sewn to the underside of the tail, goes over the belt and hooks into the wire frame, and ties off over the top of the belt loops.

Thanks rainbow Smiling I have 2 tiger headspaces, a cub and an adult tiger, for some reason my adult tiger doesnt have wings.

 

I made the ears yesterday, they didnt work out quite as I had hoped but they are ok for a first effort. I also just pinned them to my hat for the pic as I havent found a headband I like just yet
