This craft isn't super simple, you need some crafting experience!

common questions:
When will you swim with it?
summer 2020 for sure!
(the video is already uploaded)
How much did it cost?
€5 second hand swimfins
€30 fabric paint

How much does it weigh?
It weights about 15-20 KG
how long does it take to make?
it takes about 2 weeks to make if you have all materials already, and kinda know what you are doing.

if you make this item for personal use I totally allow it! Personally I don't want people to follow these tutorials and use that to start a company or sell it to others. I put a lot a research in the techniques that I show here, and also in the techniques that didn't work and isn't shown. I always test A LOT before I make these tutorials and that costs money.
The point of these video's is that people can make a mermaid tail or necklace, etc. for a reasonable price If people follow these tutorials and use cheap and/or bad materials and sell if for way to much, people could get scammed (yes this actually happened) and that is not what I want.
if you want to use techniques shown in the video for selling tails, tops, etc, please contact me, because usually I am fine with it as long as you just ask :)
I hope you have a great day ahead!

[@alexismei4605]

when I saw this I’m not going to lie, I was like “okay, let’s see this person try to make like a knockoff tail that would be cheap,” since the people who made the original tails did it sequin by sequin, but the second I clicked on it I was like damn she really did that piece by piece. I applaud you 👏 👏 👏. This is amazing!!! sorry for doubting🤪

[@MytischCrafts]

Alexis Mei awww thanks for your honest comment!!!

[@TheOnlyOtaku]

Imma be honest, I've been researching for months how to do a tail and it never occurred to me that the body could just not be made of silicone, it's gonna be covered by scales anyway (i get the need for the silicone to be attached to something and it's stronger with itself). I was also planning to sew some of the scales, glad to know it's not the worst idea. Can't wait to see the swim, I'd rather have an extended fluke like you did, but im concerned for the strength and balance lol

[@MytischCrafts]

YoYSoloYo yep the body can be made out of neoprene! Silicone is also so much harder to put on and off. Also the extended tail is so weird! It kind of has a mind of it’s own (as seen as in the bloopers) I’m also very excited to make a swim video, because I have no idea how it’s going to swim!

[@TheOnlyOtaku]

[@louisacarina1596]

I have seen many mermaid fin making videos. One I already tried and it didn't really work out. And this fin looks so real! Since I speak German, I had to translate everything for myself, but this is really the best fin I've ever seen (also the best instructions). When I have the needed material I will start right away. But I already made the shape, only instead of one garbage bag I used three bags. PS: The top is also great!

[@MytischCrafts]

Danke shön!! Viel Glück mit der Flosse!

Another amazing tutorial! Did you use anything to keep the silicone from sticking to the plaster/clay molds? I originally wanted to make the fluke of my tail this way but I chickened out at the clay sculpting 😬😄🧜🏻‍♀️🧡

[@MytischCrafts]

Mermaid Estari hii thank you :) I forgot to mention it in the video, but I used a layer of varnish to keep the silicone from sticking!

[@acechickAce]

Another thing you can use is vaseline. If you heat it up and brush it in the mold it keeps all the detail and is a cheap alternative to mold releases.
