  • what a pretty tail!! but the music is kinda scary.

  • How much fabric do you need to make a mermaid tail? 3 yards?

  • @MissHaruna1 Well it depends on how tall and wide you are. With mine I think I ended up buying 5x8 sheet of neoprene, as that was how they sold it for large quantities.

    Good luck with your tail! Hope this helped!

    Thanks for watching!!!

  • @FWMGirl88 thanks soo much! Im just 12 and btween 5-6 feet. so 3 or 4 yards?

  • @MissHaruna1 yeah 4 would be plenty. :)

  • @FWMGirl88 thanks! Im so clueless lol

  • @FWMGirl88 How did you end up stitching it together? I know neoprene is a really tough fabric.

  • @Fireheart528 I had a friend who has an industrial sewing machine, so I had her sew the side seams, then I had stitched the zipper into the bottom of the fluke :)

  • @FWMGirl88 Thanks. I might end up buying one sometime. What do you think of having a swimming pool inside the house, as in it's the floor and the furniture is on raised platforms or made so that it can be in the water without any damage? You could wear your tail and swim anytime you wanted to. :)

  • @Fireheart528 LOL I would love an in ground indoor pool! lol Too bad I'm not rich lol

    Thanks for watching!

  • This is one of my fav vids. I now want a tail for my 18 b-day (instead of a car, yeah I know I'm weird). I just need some money for the monofin and the fabric. I want to make mine look like a zebra. Zebras are my fav!

  • maybe you should make your own show your tail is so cool

  • @makemeamermaid I think you're asking if this fabric (neoprene) causes me to be water logged?

    The answer is NO, this fabric is actually quite buoyant and I've considered a weight system for my next tail, so I can actually sink better. lol

    Thanks for watching!

  • @xiloveyouedwardx it's a glitter glue in a tube I bought at Joanns. it was machine washable so I got it, otherwise I don't remember what it was called.

    Thanks for watching!

  • WHAT THE HELL IS HANGING OFF THE END OF THE TAIL!! I NEED IT!! >:O IT IS SO CUTE :D

  • @AvatarFanGirl28 It's just some squiggly ribbon, only about a 1/4 inch wide. got it at Joanns. :)

    Thanks for watching!

  • @FWMGirl88 Thanks so much. I am adding that at the end of mine.

  • Amazing! Just simply amazing! If I didnt know better I'd say I was watching a real mermaid! :o) great work on making the tail!

  • aww lovely mermaid!!!

  • Your tail was coming off slightly. But anyway.. Love whatever the heck is on the fin part.. Ribbon or sumthin I think.. :D So I found a realistic fabric with sequins on it.. Barely noticeable but making it sparkly! :D I also found a dolphin monofin for the right shape.. I just need to figure out what they used in H20 to hide the zipper..

  • good for you kiddo :)

  • ewww dude your tail is coming off

  • Please tell me how you got the fluke to look like that!! >:O Its beutiful.. I want it!! >:O

  • @mysticstorm100 actually those are 100% bubbles, no mucus. when I swim I have to have clean nostrils otherwise I can't equalize my ears or keep water out of my throat.

    So... thanks for watching

  • OMG THIS IS PRETTY

  • your famous

    

  • @TheMysticalmermaids lol Thank you ^_^

  • this is the first time ive seen you and you look great to me. I love your tail good job

  • @coolmonkeyme I made it ^_^ it took alot of trial and error to get this one, but it turned out pretty good ^_^

    Thanks for watching!

  • you can see the ziper

  • @lilbecca60 I know. .. it was really hard to hide a neon pink zipper for the monofin case. LOL

    Next time I'll buy a better color zipper, so it won't be as noticeable. The one you see is a scrap from another project (free is nice XD) lol

    Thanks for watching!

  • :O You look JUST like Susan from The Chronicles of Narnia, I just realised that.. BUT YOU REALLY DO!

  • @Mermaid3Amber lol I've had people tell me that too ^_^

    Thanks for watching!

  • You look like Miley Cyrus. and thats a good thing.

  • hi there, I have a quick question for you. I've been trying to find a place where I can buy neoprene, but not a wetsuit. Where did you buy the neoprene?

  • I don't remember the name of the place, but it was an online supplier located in San Fransisco.

    good luck,

    thanks for watching!

  • Probably and unusual question, where did you get your starfish earrings?

    Thanks for watching!

  • Oh cool!

  • that is a BEAUTIFUL tail  i have a tail to its beautiful!!!

  • how did u learn to swim like that! i would of drowned lol but like did u practice with Dorsal fins? u know the ones that are together not apart?

  • the way she swims is simple if u practice it. the name for it is the dolphin dive. Its where u swim with your feet together and using your body to swim. Divers do it all the time.

    ¸„ø¤º°¨¸„ø¤º°¨¨°º look at ur background

  • i love your tail!! whats is this song called it is really kool

  • I love it! and the music is cool too!

  • Do you mind if i borrow your idea of using the sparkely glitter on my tail? I'm in the designing process of making a tail and i would really like it if you would let me use that idea

  • Um.. yeah, have at. You can copy and do your own thing, whatever it takes to make your tail, yours. ^_^

  • Thanks, I'd expect it to be done by winter at the latest.

  • are you thinking about getting a finis rapid monofin? or just sticking with tempo?

  • Wow your face is like a cute mermaid too

    You look like you were born a mermaid

  • ok i am being honest that fabric is NOT meant to be in water! it wouldve been better without the shiny end peices and WATERPROOF fabric

  • Oh, Neoprene isn't waterproof? I didn't know that! LOL

  • nice

  • where can I find the neoprene?

  • wow cool tail!!!

  • did you have any problem with the 'waterproof' bag leaking at all? I'm always a little sceptical when it comes to taking risks with my camera ( not cheap!)? I was also wondering if you knew the brand name of the waterproof bag? thanks for your help.

    Your tail is positively lovely!

  • I need to know, too! I love my camra that i got for xmas but do u think it would fit? Mine is actually a camquarter. A little one, though.

  • how the heck do you make one of those things????

  • looks like underwater porn! lol

  • beautiful tail!

  • she is a faker

  • I have a question. Is the tail two parts or was that just folded at your knees? But really you did a GREAT job! I love your tail and the design on the end. I'm going to airbrush mine

  • Airbrushing would be awesome! I wish I had one. lol

    The tail is one part, sewn up the sides, and it was kinda bunching in this vid, because I had forgotten to lock the seams at the waist, so it was kinda coming undone. lol

    Thanks for watching!

  • beautiful

  • Quick question: What monofin model did you use?

  • I have a tempo monofin. I might upgrade to something fancier, when I have the money. lol

    thanks for watching!!!

  • oh okay, thank you! i'm making a tail of my own and was wondering what was best to use. :)

    ur welcome!! :D

  • what amazing quality :D

  • omg i love the video and great tail nice song choice btw

  • when you're swimmng, it looks like its coming off, but certainly well done

  • kinda was... I had altered it just before this video was made, and I forgot to lock the side seams, so they're sorta coming off... but the tail isn't falling off at all. lol

    Thanks for watching!

  • You are a very beautiful mermaid you swim so gracefully. I am almost done with my silver mermaid tail.

  • it looks like snot is coming out of her nose 0:47

  • seriously? Bubbles... air bubbles.... lol

  • oh my gosh a water tight bag!! you saved me hundreds of dallers!!!!!!!!!

  • i lov eyour tail its so pretty xD

  • so cool!

  • god it is sooooooo cute!

  • swimming p0ol mermaids lives in ocean

  • what material did u use and how much money was to make the whole tail?

  • The material is 2mm (thick) Neoprene with fabric on both sides of the rubber (or neoprene) and altogether it probably cost me around $175 or $180...

    Thanks for watching!!!

  • Quick question, it is also cool 2 use swim fabric like uh u know, nylon and spandex, I'm just double checking so I know the right material 2 buy when I make my mermaid tail.

  • Your lucky, here in Britain we can't swim in tails, heh we can't even use propper goggles in pools. Plus, due to our crappy weather hardly anyone has a pool in their home.

  • i live in the u.k aswell but we still can swim in indoor pools!

  • public ones...?

    :S

  • yah

  • COOL !

  • nice tail

  • Hi, I am also making mermaid tails, and yours is awesome! I was wondering where you got neoprene without having to buy at least 100 sheets! thanks!

  • Aw, you took down Blue Tail Night? I liked that one!

  • this is awsome check out my tails!

  • was it really that dark outside? or was it the camera
