Filler molds of legs

[Mermaid Nelly]

I'm making a sequin neoprene tail and I'm just about getting to where I need to start sequining the leg part of it.. I would like something inside of it so the sequins are glued correctly when the neoprene stretches. Does anyone have a suggestion of how to stuff the tail to get it as close to my body shape as possible?

Ive seen people do this, and i really want to someday! Take a pair of leggings you don't care about (like you never intend to wear them ever again) and put them on. Then get a buddy and wrap your legs (with them together) in ductape. Once they are fully wrapped cut the form off. Use ductape to seal the seams together, and stuff them. I would suggest old sheets or plastic bags for stuffing, things you also don't think you will use again.

I did the same sort of thing, except I cut a hole in the bottom of a big garbage bag and used that to cover my legs instead of old tights.

That is a REALLY good idea

I used nothing to cover my legs.
Bad idea. It still worked but was painful cutting off lol

you can use plastic wrap too! Wrap your legs in a few layers of plastic wrap and then wrap duct tape or packing tape around the plastic wrap. Works pretty well!

Don't use ducktape if you want to work with dragonskin ;)
