I ordered this for my 5th graders Eqyptian show.  It has built in wire so you can form it around your arm.  Unfortunately, it is too short to wrap around your arm three times and bend into the cool effect you see in the picture unless your arm is about the diameter of a small adult wrist.  Still, it can wrap twice and it seems to hold in place.  I measured it to be 31" long, in it should serve most purposes very well. The "gems" used for the green eyes are nice, and the tongue is interesting -- I was not expecting those details, and it was a nice surprise.
