Description A step by step tutorial for making a swimmable mermaid tail. PLEASE READ THE FAQ OR READ PREVIOUS COMMENTS BEFORE ASKING ANY QUESTIONS! FAQ: Q: Will you make me a tail? A: No, I cannot make anyone a tail. That is why I made this video. So you can =) Q: Where did you get your monofin and how much did it cost? A: I got my Finis Tempo monofin online for about $50. Try ebay or searching on google. Q: How did you make your top? A: I covered an old swim top with material. Q: How do you get the monofin in and out of the tail? A: You can either leave the bottom open and extend your fabric a few inches past the monofin, or just roll up the monofin and work it in and out of the tail. Q: What is the material called and where do you get it? A: It is just swimwear/dance material. You can find it at craft stores that carry a variety of fabrics. It comes in all kinds of colors and designs. Mine happens to be a teal hologram material. Jo~Ann fabrics is where I go. You can also go to AC Moore arts and crafts. Q: How much is the material? A: Depends on which material you want. At JoAnns it is $15 a yard and 2 yards will make a tail. DISCLAIMER: Always use proper supervision when swimming with your tail. Swimming with the legs bound together is very dangerous and should only be attempted by trained persons.

Not the best, I agree, but it is the only one out there =) With that said, please excuse my goofiness and brainfart moments. I winged the whole thing, and only did one take. Click below for a video of me swimming in the tail I made during this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDc1uuF5tDg http://www.myspace.com/Ravendark http://www.myspace.com/FireGypsyDances FireGypsyDancing@gmail.com If you make a tail please send me a picture! I would love to see your creations =) This is actually a shorter version of this tutorial by about 3 minutes. Youtube has a 10 minute length limit and I had to shorten the video. You can find the full-length version in my myspace videos.
