Sea Shell Re-Tailed

[Leave a Whisper]

I am so ridiculously proud of myself! This is the first pony I have ever replaced a tail on and its a little long (I couldn't find the tape measure) and I did have a little trouble trying to pull the wire through but she looks great! Makes me wanna go out and buy more tail-less ponies and re-tail them!

Thank you Foxtale

I'm still losing a bit of hair when I brush it out. Is that normal?

Very cool. Maybe one day I will be brave enough to try.

Great job!!!

Beautiful! Seashell is one of my favs. She definitely looks happier with a tail!

Good work! It must be a wonderful feeling to complete a pony like this.

How did you make the tail?

I used a tutorial by Eviecorn. cut the hair in half and pulled it through her butt with a bendy wire, then secured it with a ziptie

I tend to use thick nylon thread as well, wrapping it around lots of times, knotting it and sewing the ends in. Then there is less chance of hairs slipping.  The nylon thread can be applied like the clamp on a G1 and then cable tie is kind of like the washer.  I would say if you have loose hairs now, don't comb it any more. As more fall out the zip tie will be looser on the hair that is left and it will just get worse.  A lot of re-haired ponies aren't really suitable for brushing it's kind of accepted as long as you warn whoever if you are going to pass it on.  Hope this helps.

I have a Baby Lickety Split that is tail-less. I don't remember why. It would be fun to re-tail her but I'm afraid that it would be hard to match the mane. There's something inside her. A part if the original tail?

She looks amazing! Nice work

You will need to pop her head off to see what is going on inside. You can purchase replacement hair online but the issue with ponies with fading pink hair is getting a colour match unfortunately.
