As someone who just made a super pretty tiefling bard character and immediately went, "oh no, I must cosplay him, " this is SUCH a gift.

Ok but is no one gonna mention how great Ginny looks with shorter hair?

If people want another option - when I made my Jester cosplay, I used plastic rope for my tail core! It only cost me a few dollars from the hardware store. Then I made the spade from cardboard, and hand sewed on some tights I dyed with food dye and vinegar! Mine ended up around finger width, so I was able to use some pretty rings for the cuff!

I was going to go as Jester for Comic Con this year (but it was cancelled) and I had no idea how I was going to make her tail. This is really helpful. Thank you Ginny!

...adds 'proper Tiefling booty' to lexicon.

Love it! Foam dowels. That's such a cool product that makes perfect sense but I never would have thought existed.

As a lover of tieflings, horns and tails are very important. Thanks so much.

"The tail is looking a bit banged up and worse for wear..."

Like sprinkle....poor ferret...

2:42 Just in case anybody was rewatching for a certain step, the tutorial begins at around this point!

hat tail tutorial is exactly what I needed to finish up my tiefling cosplay! I was way over complicating it and i didnt even think to connect the tail with fishing line to another part of the costume or body in order to have a moving tail! Im really dumb! 😅 Thank You for this!

As a fellow crafter I loved this. I also loved the warnings about toxicity. I work with spray paint and resin so I have a mask.

a tail has been the only missing link for my upcoming mollymauk cosplay, thank you!!

I’m kinda shook, I’ve been wanting to use those foam dowels for something but couldn’t think of anything. Now I’m working on my own D&D character who has a tail, and I’ve been wracking my brain on how to make problems solved. 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

I've been chasing tiefling tail for years. Good to know how to finally make one.

[jeskifire]

Thanks so much for this! I was just brainstorming how I was going to do my tail. This is really helpful and easy to follow 😊

this tutorial is too powerful, as in i watched this 2 months ago and just barely acted upon it, performing the steps by memory and constructing a 7 foot long tiefling tail on accident, as in i've constructed the tail mere minutes before writing this comment. 10/10 have to attach it to something to avoid dragging it on the floor. looks awesome

This is almost EXACTLY how I made my second Jester tail too! I used the dowels that where cut in half, cut a notch in the inside of one, and glued a wire in. It has a really natural bounce and is completely posable for photos. You have to make a little harness for it to sit properly though. Great minds think alike lol! Yours turned out really good! 💕💕💕

dang i felt like a genius when i came up with a "tailsock" lol. i cosplay two different colors of tiefling (so far. probably going to add a third soonish) and i made a super basic tail out of old broadcloth and pillow stuffing, and then stretched a tights leg over it, basted it, then sewed that separately so i can take it off and put the other color on. also, so much easier than trying to match colors! matching facepaint is hard enough i didn't want to do it again with acrylic paint or some other fabric

I'm planing a tail for Millie from Helluva Boss and this is super helpful!
