I need to craft realistic tenticals for a jellyfish from easy to get material. The bubble is crafted already.?

I used a poly/nylon material over a properly shaped bowel and coated it with apoxy resin. With a little sewing and shaping it came out fine, The body is a clear soda bottle with this same materal for its legs in its proper shape. Creating the tenticals is more difficult. I need to creat tubes that run to a point. I've tried glueing around shapes and sewing, the result is stiff and to time consumming. They are to be 32inches long. Stretched plastic hose is a thought but not to promising. Id like to stay light weight and with simalur materal and color. Any ideas for easy flowing lightweight tubes!. Ive been working on a life sized mermaid with octopuss and fish for 9mon. Shes constructed from paper machia to an almost wood, with flowing hair coated with apoxy resin painted in fine detail. The octopuss is wire frame bendable, covered in cloth. Each sucksion cup is hand made with a timely wrap and cap in verious sizes. 500 total. I would appreacieate any suggestions for realistic tenticles
