DIY: Creative Mermaid Costume

I've been searching for Mermaid costumes online and at the mall but they were expensive. So I thought it is better to make my own version.

Here are the materials I used and how I constructed them:

Glue gun and Glue stick

Used or Old clothes - I used my daughter's old tube blouse because it is stretchy I don't need to measure it to fit my daughter's waist.

Tulle - cut into strips for the tail

















Recycled bags - I used my extra bags I am using when going to grocery store.

I cut them into small pieces that looks like this:

Stick them together using the glue gun and glue stick. Stick all the green pieces around the cloth. Stick the glue at the bottom of the cloth that serves as the tail of the mermaid skirt.

And here's my finished product. My daughter loves her new costume. She wore this on her 2nd Birthday with a Bubble Guppies Theme.
