For the flames, I simply separated the strands of a few medium length pieces
of yarn (red, yellow, orange), tied a knot at the end, and threaded them
through the end of the tail using the tapestry needle. Then I trimmed them
to how I wanted them to look.

Sew on the tail.

OPTIONAL:
You can also include some wire in the tail to make it poseable.
I did this and I like how it looks.
