Guys! I am loving that so many of you are making tails! Tweet me @boygeeksgirl your tail pics, I am SO excited to see them!
I love it ! good thing I have purple,red,blue yarns it is so impressed
thanks 4 the video! i´ll use it for a cosplay :D
Boy Geeks Girl OMG are you Scottish!? I am
How long did this all take to make the entire tail ?
Boy Geeks Girl about how long did this take
tip for everyone who doesn't have a flat iron (like me):
just keep combing, eventually it will straighten out!
TacoCactusComedy depends on the wool. I didn't use flat irons when making furry ears and you can see the difference it does.
Flat irons should only be used on synthetic wool, if anyone wants to use natural sheep yarn or I dunno, a goat's, then just brushing it could work
Thanks for the advice
@@BoyGeeksGirl42 furry ears? Do we have a tutorial for it as well?
+Kellie Vollrath Yes she puts a video on how to make some in the 'i' icon thingy.
Yea I know but go much wool came out so I used it for a pillow
I find that a metal bristled pet brush works the best for smooth results ^^
Zullala, I used a fine toothed comb; it pulls less fluff out than a dog brush, and it's faster :3 you're also less likely to stab or scratch yourself XD I loved your tutorial! Can you try wolf ears? I saw the fox ones, but I just need to know how to make it realistic like the wolf tail was :D
I used a dog brush bc it made the fluff so smooth and soft
I use all my extra fluff for making felt animals or as stuffing.
Yeah, I always stabbed myself in the beginning, but after my 3rd tail I became really good at special awareness haha. Probably could have worn a worker's glove, but I like to feel the fluffs between my fingers.
You can just make them smaller than the fox ears and use wolf colored yarn. Always look at a reference :D. I would never have been able to achieve the realness in my yarn tail if I didn't look at a ref.
I also make wolf ears and sell them in my Etsy shop. My shop is closed while I create new items but my IG username is: Zullalas.Shop if you wanted to brows my wares.
Zullala I couldn’t find one when I was looking so I instead got one of those really fine bristle brushes (you know the scratchy ones for hair) it works really well and I’m happy with the results
Zullala ur a lifesaver, its so fluffy!
i literally love this, the fluffiness/ crimp of tail makes it look like a fire fox.
Thank you for this quick, straightforward easy to understand video. Most tutorials end up with 75% rambling about nonsense and 25% instruction -- this was great! Thank you!
Tip: do not use red heart (I think that's the brand) yarn. It breaks too easy and doesn't brush out nicely
To You I used red heart for mine and it turned out good, but its indeed a pain in the ass
haha im glad :)
Thank you because that's the only type of yarn at my house.
welp, thats all i have and im using it anyway
Red heart works just fine.
I'm sure you get this all the time, but your accent is GORGEOUS! I love it!
Just made mine! Mines a bit short, but it took me less then 2 hrs. This was my method: I used a thin yarn for the base, it doesnt really matter how thick or thin the base it. Now, its very important that the rest of the yarn you use is very thick, like straight up wool. (Thicker then the one in the video) and if its thick enough, you can just pass it through the braid and tie it on. You dont need way to many strands, and you dont have to combine to many strands. Make sure that the end of the tail is long enough that you cant see the base, but if its the proper color you can just leave it. Make sure to brush out the yarn.
TheOcelotGirl Yeah definitely, the thicker the wool, the quicker the result. As long a it's acrylic, it's all good.
Thank you so much! I don’t know how to sew and my mom doesn’t ethier and my fursuit doesn’t come with a tail I can’t wait to wear this and uh yeah thank you again!
wolf tail, fox tail, whatever, I just want a fluffy tail 😁 *wears tail & ears to school everyday* this tutorial is awesome x3 congrats on your patience with this project 😁 I'll probably end up insane- wait I am insane.... 😲 IM GONNA END UP NORMAL! NOOOOOO (ignore my pshycotic non-English x3)

Your video was so informative about making the tail! I know it's not even close to be Halloween but I like it start early. I'm going to be the Cheshire Cat from Tim burtons movie and I'm so exited to make this tail!😄😆😁
TBH you sounded like BMO from Adventure Time, great tutorial btw
That is awesome! I love it! Thank you! I am going to use the information to try and make a smaller key chain as a gift.
thank you so much! this gave me such a great idea and I LOVE the results!
So happy i found this! Ive wanted one of these fox tails for years but all the ones on ebay are actual fox tails! 😣😣😣 how someone could cut off a fox's tail for a fashiom statement?
Omg this was so cute! I watched this and won an anime cosplay event at school. Thanks!
On Friday I gotta go dressed like a artic fox to school so this was very helpful 💛
LOL AT BEGINNING "HEY HO"
thanks for makeing this because im going to be mangle from five nights at frddys soooo thanks
Karsen LPS ME TO!!!! Just, I'm gonna be funtime foxy
Oooo cool :3
Wow this is sooooo simple and the way the tail looks is awsome
I’m definitely turning this into a wolf tail this was so awesome and creative :D
Thanks for this tutorial!!! This was easy to follow, and came out wonderful. My daughter's Halloween costume is gonna rock this year!
I'm making a Cheshire cat costume for my daughter for Halloween, this is perfect!!!! Thank you for sharing!
Cool now I can make my blue wolf tail for my cosplay thx for making this
This worked great for my daughter’s Fox in Socks costume for school. Thanks!
Thank you so so much this video was so useful my tail turned out beautifully
This works so well! The straightener really helps a lot
Thank you!!!
I love it I made mines but black
The tail looks pretty cool but the strands of fur like to fall off. After just a couple days of wearing mine I only had a couple pieces of fur left.
Me too
I'm making one, from what I've noticed you need to knot the actaul fur part, I wrapped my tuffs 10 times then tied it cut most of the top strands off but two then just brush it out. So far no fall out after the brushing. When I tried her way I noticed there was so few strands and didn't like the look. Hope this helped maybe!
Tie it more that’s what I did none of mine have fell of yet
Thank you for the advice.
my daughter and I just started making hers tonight .... we found that if we used lion brand wool-ease for the smaller pieces and seperated the two-ply strands before brushing them, it's super easy to brush out .... just thought we'd leave a heads-up.
oh that's a great tip, I'll be using that one, thanks!
two-ply? I got lion brand homespun 😞
Arlene Carron how long did it take you to finish it?
U did this better than most tutorials idk how
finished mine finally I love it sooooo much😁😁😁
Thank you! This is such a cool idea. I'm doing it tomorrow, but im making mine longer. :D

Thank you so much!
Yes! I was doing it right! I wanted to look at your tu-toriel , so i can see if it was doing the attachment right! Thanks!
tu-toriel
Having fun making this for the first time, the tufts take forever though, (I did mine a tiny bit different but it looks the same just puffier) thanks for the tutorial. I also don't want to straighten the hair it just takes away from puffyness at least in my opinion.
love the ombré
Thank u so much I do cosplay and all the tails I find are really expensive this help me so much
Can't wait to make this!!:)
I love foxes so much
so cool !!!
thx i really needed this video thx agin i will do this foe sure

Thanks! I'm gonna try this asap! Any yarn you would or wouldn't recommend?
Omg I'm making this
I'm going to convince my mom to buy black and red yarn now
This is so cute.
I just LOVE the colours. The blue & purple with the white, I love it oh so much!
Boy Geeks Girl same it works amazingly
I like it
I bought a bunch of like chunky wool yarn and made a pretty dope tail. I didnt try to do this method though. Im tempted to make another one now.
I like doing it this way, just because I can do it when I'm chilling at night, no need for sewing machine and other things that take me away from my comfy chair!
100% trying this.
This is so cool I will so do this for Halloween
you can basically do the same technique to make ears too!
+Boy Geeks Girl oh really how do you make the points of the ears
+Sofia Villasenor you get two triangles of felt. one for each ear. Brush out the wool like you did for the tail. Then you just sew or glue them on. x
+Boy Geeks Girl oh ok that sounds easy thx 🙂
I like this I don’t mean like ❤️ LOVE IT
ty so much I needed this for a Aphmau cosplay!
Well imma try this this looks so amazing. Everyone else sews it in and I’m clumsy so xD also that lipstick look great on yewww^^ (also imma make mine more fluffy bc kitty cats)

thanks I'm making a purple wolf tail that's quite small
you are gorgeous!!! I was thinking about making a tail....but I dont think I will......Im too lazy. it looks great though!!
Perfekt thanks♥♥♥♥
I only have like really fluffy yarn I wonder if that will work ty u for the vid I will try the fluffy yarn
I love your tail, it is so lovely. C: When you were adding the fluffs to the base were you adding the strings through the braid or wrapping it around it and knotting it?
Through the braid. so I'd tie it around one section of braid on the left, then a section of braid on the right. I even added to the middle in some places because of thickness issues.
Oh, okay, thank you very much. C: Love your video and tail by the way.
Thank u so much for makeing this vid I made a purple and green tail everyone likes it
Trinity Gilmore ah I love it.
love your accent and btw you can use a dog comb(ironic)to brush it out too🐺🐺
Loved this tutorial - it was super helpful! I think I'm going to go and make myself a fox tail now, hehe (if I have the patience :p)
It's super handy to do, I made most of my fur tufts while watching Netflix and such. So you can take your time doing it, and you can't reaaaally make any mistakes!
Ty I made a Big Black wolf tail
Did you brush out the end bits after tying them on (for added fluff) or just conceal them within the pre-existing fluff?
Kelly Jumbelick I brushed them all out.
I love your accent!
Thank you! That's really sweet of you.
im makeing a wolf tail to show to my crush
Why am I watching this....
*I WANNA BE A FURRY*
Suso Suso if you wanna be a furry you are a furry, you don’t have to have a fursuit or tail you can just.... Be a furry!
Suso Suso join the fandom :3 we have cookies
Yup
Suso Suso me too... I bought fake nails for fake fangs
I'm therian/furry, im looking to make myself a tail. (｡･ω･｡)
Do you tie the tuft parts to the braid or into the braid?
Yay
Thank you! I want to make a Cheshire Cat one and the ears
did it come out good? Thats why I came here. How long did it take you?
Do you have to flat iron the wool?? Will it still look good without flat ironing the wool??
How did you plait the wool and tie in all of the bits?
How did you start the braid base tho.
I'm gonna do a rainbow one cause hats the only string or yarn I have lol
XShadowkinz unicorn tail
I've found that a carding comb for needle felting works better than a pet brush.
You have just solved all of my woolly problems. Thank you!
If you want to save yarn, you can use old t shirts or leggings for the centre of the tail
That's absolutely right! T'shirt yarn is a great chunky centre part.
im going to make one that is a bit bigger and use it as a wolf tail
Yeah if you make it longer it will definitely be more wolf-like. If you make two brains instead of one, then join them using the fluffy tufts, it will be nice and thick too.
Can yky use a regular iron instead of hair straighteners with just a light press
What do you recommend to use as a substitute for the hair-straightener? Do you wash it in warm water maybe? Also, is there a way to avoid losing that much fluff of the yarn? It seems like a bit of a waste so I was wondering whether there was a way to avoid this? Or at least have less of it fall out?
henry miggson unfortunately brushing the wool means you lose a lot of fluff. I just save it for other projects like stuffing or sometimes felting.
I’ve always wanted a tail😅🎉
Making one for my sister atm just curious ...about how much yarn was used? So far I've used an entire thing of yarn I bought at walmart and I've just reached about 65% of the way. Same size as yours. Ran out so i have to get more! 😭
pretty simple but also hard making a lot of those fluffies
