    What to do w/ old spandex from tail-making days?

    I have a ton of spandex from back in the day when making your own fabric tail was the cool thing to do. I'd really like to get rid of it - I have rainbow scales, blue scales, and plain brown and green for a swampy mermaid. Seems like no one wants this, and I've debated giving it all away for free. What can a mer do with all this fabric? I'm not interested in making my own tails anymore - I've done it with the spandex but the tails really last only a season since the fabric sucks. I'm not really "crafty" either, so the best I could make is a headband or something lame. Any ideas?

    Send it to me! :P

    Seriously if I wasn't so far away, I'd totally buy it from you, I've been wanting some spandex to mess around with some garment ideas I have, but it's super expensive over here.

    Are there any local Mers who might be interested in making tails?

    I would say find a bathing suit maker online. Or you can hit up some Furry facebook groups or the site FurBuy.com Furs use Lycra to make Balaclavas as the bases for heads.

    You didn't know that Furbuy followed the path of Furbid and died?

    I buy all my lycra from The Remnant Warehouse. They ship to NZ too.
