How to build a MYSTIC from THE DARK CRYSTAL

Step 12 Tail Leather

The tail was made from an old leather ottoman of thick saddle leather. It was a cylinder shape with circles on top and bottom and the sides made of rectangular leather pieces connected in a cylinder. I ripped it apart in chunks using the rectangles in 2, 2, 3, 3 pieces, wrapping them in cylinders themselves, and then using the top and bottom leather near the top. I stitched the lower parts at the connections with some shoelaces but bolted each cylinder to the one above it. The last two large pieces were bolted right to the baby bath frame. The Stuffed animal was inside to keep them from collapsing.
