So i know this has been discussed here before, but i can't seem to find it in the search.

if anybody can find it please post the link.

Anyhow, I've been asked to make some ear plugs. size 0 (which some research shows to be 8.4mm).

i don't have a lot of time to figure this out so I was wondering how you've gone about making them?

they want something black/red spiral in a curved horn shape. so what i'll probably do is make a twisted cane and try my best to stretch the thickets part to be ~8.5mm (that's going to be the fun part)

taper off one side and make a patty on the other. then bend to curve them out.

so yeah... any hints or tricks would be appreciated.
