Foam wire

I’m looking for an unusual material.

What I want is something like a wire, that can be easily shaped around a person or object and will retain its shape fairly well. So more pliable that a metal coat-hanger, but less pliable than most electrical wire.

I want the wire to be covered in something like a thin layer of foam, so that is comfortable, can be coloured easily, and can have other foam pieces glued to it. It shouldn’t be more than 10mm in diameter.

Anyone know of a material like this?

Gardening wire?

Sure, PVC coated wire might work. I’ll try a DIY shop.

Might be able to find something with a softer covering like this:
