[nolamarley]

where did you get the monofin?

[ShaiPotter]

where can u buy the monofins at?

[amywojcik5]

she looks like my aunt sara.

[theslytherinchick]

Also, do you know the name of the fabric you used for it? Cuz I've never bought any fabric you can swim in before and would like to know exactly what to ask for at the fabric store :D

[MrazzleDazzleEm]

@theslytherinchick I can't remember what it was called exactly, but there's a whole section of Joanne's called "Dancer/Swim Wear", so if you ask for that, someone should be able to show it to you.

[theslytherinchick]

@MrazzleDazzleEm It's okay, I know what the fabrics called now and I've now got this beautiful blue with black fish patterned fabric :P And I would have been lost if I hadn't seen this video on how to fit in the monofin. Still having trouble looking for a cheap monofin but I'm not giving up! Thank you again! :D

[theslytherinchick]

Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much! I've been having a lot of trouble looking for cheap swimmable mermaid tails online but there aren't really any then I thought about making it myself, because I'm not new to sewing, and adding in a monofin but I had no idea how to put the monofin in. THANK YOU! I can't wait until the day I can swim with a mermaid fin! Thank you again!!! xx Keep being awesome! :P

Like the fabric

[starthunderdestiny]

can you get monofins only online or offline?

[MrazzleDazzleEm]

@starthunderdestiny If there's a SCUBA supply store near you, then yes. If you're pretty landlocked, then probably just online.

[carlyluvszeepugs]

@starthunderdestiny just get it at giant (toy section) or the toystore!;) but u can only get it in the summertime lol (obviously)

[tranlamphuong]

[MrazzleDazzleEm]

@alexlovedarkness13 I don't remember which, but a SCUBA gear website.

[Annie32011]

[1997daddyslittlegirl]

question how do u move like your body up and down you know when u have the tail on can u show me how to do it on vidios

[pinkfurryhat]

@1997daddyslittlegirl look up "how to dolphin kick" on search :3 its pretty easy imo, the fin makes it ten times easier than without

[chibscutes]

that type of fabric is called lycra spandex or mystique for anyone who wants to find some :)

[SungMinChoKorea98]

thanks

[MrazzleDazzleEm]

No, we sewed the tail from scratch, and added the zipper :)

[Jencruz13]

I love this video ive watched a ton and thus is the best one but did it come with the zipper already on it?

[supercrazypeople11]

(an example would be the : Wave or the Rapid monofin) thanks for all your help!!! xx

[MrazzleDazzleEm]

@Horseluvr823 Hello. Glad you found the video helpful. My fin is the Wave. Hope your tail goes well :)

[XxG62xX]

I really wanna make one but I dont know were to get all the stof

[PolishCutie93]

how much did u spend on the monofin and material?

[MrazzleDazzleEm]

@PolishCutie93 The monofin was around $55. I believe the material was around $5 a yard.

[PolishCutie93]

@MrazzleDazzleEm what type of mofin did u buy? i cant read that name... :/

[MrazzleDazzleEm]

@PolishCutie93 It's a Finis.

[PolishCutie93]

@MrazzleDazzleEm one last question, im looking into the fabric i want and it says its 3 feet per 1 yrd.

im 5'3...so do u think i should just but one yrd to cover hips to end of my fin?

[MrazzleDazzleEm]

@PolishCutie93 I would get two to be safe.

[DustedMoon321]

I really wanna make one but I have 3 brothers and I would never hear the end of it:( but maybe someday :)

[MrazzleDazzleEm]

@DustedMoon321 Haha, I feel you. I have one brother, and I get plenty of flak. But you can't let others dictate what makes you happy! :)

[ladymermaid81]

This is great - thank you so much for posting this! :-)

[APprincess08]

that video makes me want to be a mermaid! But I have one question just where did you get the mono finn?

[MrazzleDazzleEm]

@APprincess08 I bought it off of a SCUBA supply website ;-)

[APprincess08]

@MrazzleDazzleEm thanks! i'll tell you if I get arond to making one!

[peblezQ]

Were do you buy the fabric in canada? and were did you get the monofin

[PippipDoodliedoo2u]

Lol to make a monofin u duct tape 2 flippers together!!

[lily9693]

[GIGGLEZ111167]

This is kool I always wanted a mermaid tail but were do u get da monofin

[ewanicole123]

where do you get fabric in virginia

[MrazzleDazzleEm]

@ewanicole123 I got mine at Jo Anne Fabrics. Not sure if you have one there, but any fabric store should have something :)

[MermaidElena15]

2 ppl are just jealous that they cant make it but other ppl can but there is no reason to dislike. If u dont have anything nice to say then dont say it but they have!

[DeeGums3]

[talkingtree4]

[MrazzleDazzleEm]

[CodyDazzel]

[223misssillygirl]

me and my friend are making one and had no idea where to get fabric....THANKS also can you make a tail out of flippers please help me out!!!

[702brookiecookie]

i might now make one or in a week

[XxgummygirlxX]

I would luv it if u could make me one, but then I'd have to give you my address :(

[Joy2Rose]

If you dont want to poke holes into the monofin can you just stuff the corners with something?

[dyamond96]

i love how you did that but how do you no how to make one

[Sophiaec11]

@dyamond96: she probobly made it byanother vid or made it up... :)

[sarahdanelamb12]

where do you get the rubber?

[MrazzleDazzleEm]

@sarahdanelamb12 The Home Depot.

[crazygirl202able]

@MrazzleDazzleEm where do you get the monofin?

[ngycgirlz]

Well, I guess I'll probably have to buy it online, then, because I have absolutely nowhere near me that would need to seel SCUBA gear, because we don't have an ocean or anything. As for Joan Fabrics, that part will be easy.

[ngycgirlz]

I have 2 questions. 1: Do you know any actual stores that sell monofins, and, if so, do you have any idea how much they cost? And question 2: How much did that fabric cost?

I have a rather low budget, and I'd really like to have a mermaid tail.

[MrazzleDazzleEm]

@ngycgirlz If any stores would, it would be SCUBA supply shops, I would think. I got mine online for about $55. The fabric was, I believe, $5 a yard, and you should really only need 3.

[campy191]

Please make me one! I'm small

[alexibobz005]

@campy191 if she wanted 2 make people mermaid tails she wouldn't of made this video

[campy191]

Please make me one! I'm small

[crazychick1219]

@ibplover365 I don't think u would have to use blue but as long as u find the fabric and if it's in different colors then u could just buy whatever color suits u best

[lbplover365]

do you have to use blue plz respond

[chimiangelpro]

Thank you for the idea of how to make mine. But I have one qhestion.  Do you have any tips for deccorating the tail or any other ways to possibly make one?

Thanks,

chimi

[MrazzleDazzleEm]

@chimiangelpro One cool thing I've seen done is people sew a dorsal fin onto the back :)

[gaychinlett]

did u buy the monofin??

[MrazzleDazzleEm]

@gaychinlett Yup. I bought it from a SCUBA supply website. I believe it cost around $55 then.

[Gigilovergirl]

im going to joannas 2morow, to get fabric, how much does it cost????

[MrazzleDazzleEm]

@Gigilovergirl I believe it cost about $4 a yard, but this was a few years ago.

[Gigilovergirl]

wered you buy the fabric?

i got the monofin,,,,

and how much was the fabric

[keeravivian]

You're such a sweety!

That was a good idea putting the rubber, Thank you for sharing!

I just made a mermaid tail for an underwater photoshoot, and found all these videos afterwards, I wish I had found this before!

[MissHaruna1]

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

[MrazzleDazzleEm]

@MissHaruna1 About that, yes.

[bobinator232]

WoW The rubber is an excellent idea!

[ddougherty10]

@MERMAIDGIRL8870

Where'd u but one? How much did it cost??

[MrazzleDazzleEm]

@ddougherty10 All supplies considered, around $100.

[iatethefudge]

thx soo much for posting this,im making my tail soon and i had no idea how 2 get a more half moon shape,i was gonna originally try wires but the rubber is a much better idea thank you again:)

[angepw61]

i like ur tail where do u live?

[showjumperluvr4]

that was a really clever idea with the zipper at the end =D

[lmassey2011]

you scare me :'S

[mermaidlover45]

umm.can you make me one.i dont have a monofin or a sewing mecheien email me nicolebella26@aol.com please i need one for spring

[multiplymelollipop1]

where did you you buy the monofin??^_^

[Aerodil]

@multiplymelollipop1 There are a few sellers. Try Finis Monofin on Amazon. That might help.

[MrazzleDazzleEm]

@multiplymelollipop1 A SCUBA supply website.

[Mermaidstella1]

or u could not waste money get a ajama pants water resisntent cause they have them wear boths legs in one leg ut of the other then wear the mono fin by sewing the other leg fabric onto the water resisnt legs easier and cheaper

[MrazzleDazzleEm]

@Mermaidstella1 Yes, but that doesn't look as good. And why do they have water resistant pj bottoms?

[Ataume]

You look really enthousiastic! ^^

I was wondering whether or not you're a real redhead, but I guess it doesn't really matter.

Thank you a ton for putting up these tips. The idea with the rubber was really clever. I might use your tips one (glorious) day when I decide to make my own tail. :)

[Libra92Rock]

omg i like your mermaid tail

[princesadaisy1221]

OMG! thnx! i had been looking for vids of how to make a mermaid tail, by the way i love how you look with the tail.
