I got my Lekku from Pam and I love them.      ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Headwrap Paper pattern, and black vinyl  Strips for the wrapping (That I haven't done yet)  Front and back pieces  Got those put together.  Ironing. I melted my first one.  Heavy Grade sticky Velcro  The metal pieces to be added  Final design for the metal fittings  Finished headwarp, just need to figure out how to do my headtail wrapping.   Any opinions, I'll be updating once I get my paint and paint my lekku. |

Very nice! Twi'leks have always been my favorite Star Wars race and I just love the looks of them. Do you have a saber to go with it?  |

My wife and I helped a friend with her Aayla Secura with wraps around the tails. She tried everything to keep them down. Spray adhesive didn't seem to work over the paint and neither did hot glue. In the end, she had to tack down a thin strip of velcro into the skin of the lekku and then sew the velcro onto the underside of her wraps. Be very careful about tacking it and look at Tandy before you look at Joanns for the tacks.

@chicago.jedi: Yes its latex
@Volund Starfire: I need to be able to remove the striping with out damaging my lekku. (I can't afford to buy another set) But I'm going to be painting a black design over the top of the purple base, on top of having my headwarp. So I'm going to wait and see if I even what/need to do the warping before I figure out how to put them on.

For your wraps...wrap the material and once happy with it, sew the joints to each other and not the head appliance...once complete it will be like a wide open fish net sock  |

I've made on the spot costumes that were mostly straps; Key West Fantasy Fest...it is one of those events that is just insane...I made buckets of money lol. Anyway the straps had to hang and hold their shape throughout an energetic parade/party day/night...built them the same way...lace, quick staple, sew, remove staple. |
