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!

I would like some options on making the fluke how did u make it like what silicone brand and what clay did u use
I’m a professional mermaid tail maker and honestly I haven’t seen anyone do a diy mermaid tail better then you
Mermaid Atlantis thank you so much!! That means a lot :)
Mytisch Crafts any day I truly think you could go very far with this talent not a lot of people can do this without practicing and you did very well for your first tail when I made my first tail I messed up REAL bad but once I did it more and more I got better and honestly your tail is pretty perfest
omgg ive always wanted a mermaid tail made out of silicone.. like the one from h2o! it just.. seems so cool!
@@grace-vu6ug same! It’s my dream!
I'm a cool mermaid and I am so much better
I have watched many diy silicone mermaid tail videos but honestly this one is by far the best and most helpful video!
Kate Statt amazing compliment!!! Thank you soooo much!!! :)
Haw you bring ol ds things

omg. I wanted to make a h2o tail since I watched it on tv as young teen. this is so cool.
thank you!!! And same, I just finally decided that I wanted to make one!
Can’t wait to see its first swim! That’s amazing I might have to use your tips to make my own someday!
Can’t to swim. And Yesss you should make one!!! :)
Can’t wait to swim*
Me too
It's so cool gas rat
FINALLY I CAN ACTUALLY MAKE THIS 💙
A_ Giaccone you should!!! It’s so much fun!
Oi
I'm finding that making a mermaid tail is the best Corentin project for me to do.
Ciel Phantomhive definitely!
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
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!
@@MytischCrafts forgot to say, i fucjjgdafnbg love the tail, it looks amazing. Your design is my favorite so far
YoYSoloYo awww thanks!!!!
I just wanted to say I think this mermaid tail is amazing I could see the hard work it is very very beautiful the best H2O tail tutorial I've seen thank you so much for putting this out and thank you
Harley Leite awwww thank you so much!!!!!!
@@MytischCrafts hi Want bride 🌊
@@brandonsandoval8120 are you rich?
@@MytischCrafts yes want bride yes
@@MytischCrafts you mermaid life real mar 🌊
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🤪
Alexis Mei awww thanks for your honest comment!!!
Am I the only one that watched the entire video knowing Im way to lazy to do that my self?
Nope! You aren’t! Lol
I'VE WAITED 12 YEARS FOR THIS VIDEO THANK YOU
12 YEARS OF IT IN AZKABAN!!! 🤣
Definitely one of the best diy tails I've seen and you explained the steps well you didn't rush through things most people would I want to try this
In all the research and effort I’ve tried (and failed) in making a mermaid tail, this tutorial has been the easiest to follow. Love the inspiration and ease of this video. Thanks hun for posting this on YT 🥰🧜🏻♀️❤️
PumpkinMermaid92 aww thank you! And I hope you’ll be able to make a cool mermaid tail :)
Mytisch Crafts much appreciated! Keep on swimming 🥰❤️
This is honestly, out of all the videos I’ve ever watched... the most similar! Seriously... congrats!
The way the scales are in the tail, give a magic look to it! Great job!
you did a wonderful job making that awesome mermaid tail. I love watching h2o its my favorite mermaid show :)
Amy Beavers mine too!!
Oh my goshhh!!! This is the best video I’ve seen for a silicone h2o mermaid tail!!!!
Using a shell to texture the dorsal fin was so clever!
Hehe thank you :)
The best tutorial for making h2o mermaid tail
I’m buying all the supplies and making this
Joana Franco wow really?!
Did it work?
Whoa that looks amazing, you did more than just a spectacular job, this is astonishing! Can't wait to see it in action!
Awww thank you so much!!
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!
Danke shön!! Viel Glück mit der Flosse!
I've been watching your progress on instagram and I don't think I'll ever stop being super impressed with this! I wish I had the time and money to make one haha, maybe one day
One day for sure!!!
bro you make it look so easy😞😞but you did such a great job 👏🏽👏🏽
The tail turned out really cool and very close resemblance to H2O tails and also the bloopers are funny 😄
You made my day. You don’t know for how long i was trying to find something like this detaild but the end result like the h2o tail thanks thanks thanks!!! I love it 😍
I love this. I always wanted one in blue then they came out with Mako Mermaids. I instantly feel like love with Zack's tail.😍
THAT IS SO COOOOOL OMGGG
Nii thank you so much!!!
im gonna make this tail it looks so realistic you did a great job
thank you so much!!! good luck with the tail!
This incredible, it must of taken so much time and effort to do this! I am impressed.
This is stunning. You have so much dedication!!
Omg love the tail wish I could make one but can't but it looks so beautiful and amazing❤
I couldn't wait to see this tail when you had mentioned it to me!! Looks great keep up the good work!! :)
#Black Cat LPS thank you so much!!
I'm actually waiting on two tails but they have still not been delivered yet :(
#Black Cat LPS aww that sucks! I hope they look good :)
Yes I hope they do as well and they are actually both all fabric tails
Omg i absolutely loved loved loved this video !!! I have always wanted an H2O tail !! I'm definitely going to follow your tutorial! Thanks 😁
Omg LOVED the Lewis clip
i'll probably never do this myself but watching it wow😲👌🏻 you did such a great job.... Oh and the music😍
Looks amazing !! Can’t wait for a swimming video
Alora Torres same!
And thanks!!
I love how you put bloopers in and I always wanted to make on thanks
ITS SO PRETTY
Bangtan Girl yay!!
You should try making a long fish mermaid tail, I would love to see a tutorial of that!
11:08 i caannn'tt this little jump it was so freaking cute omg
Could you do a video of you swimming it the tail please? I feel as if it would be very satisfying to watch 😍😍😍💞💞💞
Coming this summer! ☺️
Mytisch Crafts OMG YASSSS!!! I’m making one of me swimming in my finfolk tail this summer xxx
Well I'm glad you used fabric to reinforce the silicone. I was worried it would tear. Still worried about joining the tail and body suit. I thought of going all silicone but I don' t want to over heat. Nice work. Thank you for the ideas.
This is the best recreation of the H20 tail I've ever seen! (And sadly we can't buy the scale sequence anymore ;(((
Alice Longberg thanks so much!!! Aww maybe other shops sell them :)
@@MytischCrafts ❤️ Next you should definitely make the bra top!
I'm so SO impressed!!! Congratulations!!!!! So inspiring!! xx

Mermaid India summer 2020 :)
@@MytischCrafts ok i cant wait❤️❤️❤️
I love this tail sooooo much 😍! You did such a great job 🤩🧜🏻♀️! Xoxo merman nico
Nicolas Plettenbacher thank you so much!!!
This mermaidtail is amazing! Thank you for help 😊❤
No problem! And thank you :))
The best manual I've ever seen. Thanks! But how do you put the fluke and the rest of the tail together? And how do you put the zipper on the back fin?
Linn Kohlbecher the fluke and fabric are glued together with silicone! And the zipper is below the backfin, they are actually 2 backfins glued on each side of the zipper!
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 😬😄🧜🏻♀️🧡
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!
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.

Hi mermaid estarí mar 🌊 mermaid azul 💙
I would love to make a tail of my own do you have any recommendations for paint and silicone? I believe that you mentioned you used Dutch brands in the comments but I live in America.
Quarter horse Lover hii! I don’t live in America so I can’t help you with that unfortunately l. But maybe check some crafting stores or Amazon?
What an awesome job! This is a huge help for a Mer that wants to make their own tail, thanks so much for sharing! Can't wait to see how beautiful you are swimming in this.
Blixa Miller awww thank you so much!!
Wow, this syrup was very similar to the mermaids mako, congratulations to those who made post, it was wonderful
Hey that’s a great job you’ve made. I have one question for you : how do you glue the fin and neoprene together? Kiss from France 🇫🇷
A thin layer of silicone will do :)
Mytisch Crafts ok thanks so much ❤️
Mytisch Crafts but how can you put the swim fins inside of the neoprene?
Hastings ' I just cover it with the neoprene :)
Mytisch Crafts because it was cut ?
This is a gorgeous tail! I'm a guy, I love so much H20: Just Add Water tv show and I love so much the tails and I love so much orange shiny tails in general! :) You made an excellent job! The scales is a very nice touch, very realistic and beautiful! :) Thank you so much to have made this DYI H2O mermaid tail video I'm gonna rewatch it several times again! :) Speaking of tails, an SFX Costume designer made a me a gold silicone/sequins merman tail like I wanted and I'm gonna receive in a few days I'm so excited and another SFX costume designer making me a silicone merman tail which comes from a famous movie! Haha :) I will show you the photos of my gold silicone/sequins merman tail if you want to see it! :) In any case, very good job again; your H20 tail is stunning! :)

Jamie W. I didn’t buy my items on amazon so I don’t know where to find them there :0
Te ha quedado precioso
Thanks for the tutorial. Do you know how long does it take for the silicon to dry ?
Go to mako island💕
Jaro Jabez Arthur I want to!!!
Well done! That's amazing!! How much did it cost to make?
Thnx! I think about €140
hii ! its me again, what silicone did u used ??
What type of plaster did you use and how did you get the clay to come out of the dry plaster so well? It looks so beautiful I love H2O
Danielle Thomas I used sculpting plaster, and the clay was kind of flexible so I could just peel it out. Thanks so much! :)
AHHHH IloveitIloveitIloveitIloveit!!!❤️😍
thankyouthankyouthankyou!!!!!
Around how much was all of this to make? I might have to try! I love the show soo so much!
TheDollPlace about 140€ I think? I love the show too!!!
FINALLY I CAN MAKE THIS YEEES THANK YOU SO MUCH!
UwU_ Girlzz your welcome!!!!
I love your tail now i can make my own thanks for showing me how to make a tail like that
That’s what my videos are for! Glad I could help! :)
How did you get the body and fluke together i dont know how to it
amazing diy love this but to be honest i dont got time for dis and my mom would hit me if i decided to do this the whole day
When she was was peeling the extra fins from the clay (ASMR)
Isabela Gonzalez hahaha XD
Absolutely amazing wow wow wow that is pure talent !!!
omg you even did on for the h20 just add water omg girl you are so underrated ima subscribe you deserve another subscriber
Awwe thank you! :)
Also what did you use to attach the scales
#Black Cat LPS loads of silicone, and they’re sewn at bendy places
For the actual scales do they sell more colors than just orange?
#Black Cat LPS not sure but the website does
Well I found some blue scales but they are not 3 dollars they are like 12 for one pack :(
i need to commission one.. i dont have supplies and i dont have any skill at all ut i rlly one one! one day i will e able to have enough money
Great job now i want one :( but it would take me years lol it is so pretty
Sorry for the previous question on the new video this answered it. Its amazing you were able to do it yourself like that.
