Yarn Tail Updated

After seeing what you can do with a yarn tail, we (my hubby and I) have tried a few variations. The chains help to give it weight for a more realistic method of movement, but the chains we got were quite heavy. I thought I would try my hand at doing a braided core. I also jazzed up my tail by using glow in the dark yarn.

You can see the video of the final tail below, with the yarn core modification.

This is what it looks like as a still shot.

And what it looks like when its glowing on its own.
