I love that you went for a more realistic look than a fantasy look. This is so cool!
Thank you!!
You’re so clever using the little plastic scales as individual molds. I’m going to make a tail but not quite like this, more Barbie doll sized. I made a prototype but didn’t understand how to add pigment until now! I also love your h2o videos. I’ve been thinking about silicone tails for a while now and your tutorials are the easiest to follow. You make such a beautiful Mermaid too and you’re an amazing swimmer. Honestly we need more mermaid tv shows and movies and whenever they get their act together, they know where to find their expert person!! I think you would make a great Madison from “Splash or “Aquamarine”.
Awwwww thank you so much!!!
@@MytischCrafts Yes wonderful job on this video sweetheart and I think Ellie’s right you would make a very lovely and cute 🥰🥰 Madison, Ariel or Aquamarine babe especially since I think that all of them are the very best and that you would be great doing any of them sweetie ❤️❤️ I love you and keep up the beautiful work cutie 🥰😘❤️🥰😍❤️💕💗💕💜💕💝💕
This is incredible, the tail looks wonderful and you had a brilliant idea for the scales. I am impressed, bravo!
awwee thank you!
@@MytischCrafts hi
Once again your crafting skills and creativity inspire me soooo much~
Aweee thanks!
It looks so dope and realistic
Thanks!!
I love how dedicated you are! I know I could never spend a whole week just applying scales... though the end result definitely looks worth it!! Well done 😄
awwe thank you!! luckily I had netflix to watch while doing it XD
@@MytischCrafts mermad transformation water legs 💧 🧜♀️ want bride yes
@@MytischCrafts hi
it turned out soo good !!! was so fun to watch the progress of you making the tail 🧜🏽♀️ now go catch some pirates ☠ 😏
will catch one in the swimming video hehe but shhhhh XD
Really cool project! Thank you so much for sharing your techniques and ideas :) i am not planning on making a silicone tail but I still really appreciate your willingness to help others improve their own projects :D!
Awwwe thank you!
@@MytischCrafts hi
NOOOOOOOO I CANT WAIT FOR YOU TO SWIM IN THIS MAGNIFICENT TAIL 🥰
This is so realistic, so good, you're created the masterpiece!
awwweee thanks!!
thanks for this! super helpful - been looking for a particular step by step and this is perfect. youre the best :)
So ^^ Really interesting and really well done making of the fin! Really amazing what processes are behind it so that it looks like this in the end, but you explained it really well, also from the editing of the video Really well and I can imagine that you were sometimes a little desperate - but all in all great video ! 😊 Looking forward to the next one! ^^
You're really talented That was such a unique way to make the scales! What's your next big project going to be?
thank you! I don't know yet :)
@@MytischCrafts hi
Amazing 🤩 another inspiration to come by. Can’t wait to see the tail in action in the next video. 💙💙💙🌊🌊🌊
Thank you!! :))
De todas as caldas de sereia que eu já vi até agora, essa de fato é a melhor.❤ Parabéns, ficou linda👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Incredible. Looks amazing!
I really want to make one and a mermaid from the pirates of the Caribbean now!!! Thank you so much for the video 😀
oh yayy! thank YOU for watching :)
omg it looks so much like the ones from pirates of the caribbean ty for the tutorial i will make sure to do this in the future
Hey, hope you're well! :) Gorgeous tail! You made a great job! :) The colors and the design is very beautiful! :) I'm looking forward to see how it will looks when you will swimming into the water! :) By the way, my silicone merman tail of Syrena from Pirates Of Caribbean: On Stranger Tides that I began to do 1 year and a half/2 years ago is processing very well! I'm still working on it! :) I have a few individuals scales to glue on the body and I'm working on the caudal fin/ fluke right now :)
Yayy how cool! :)
@@MytischCrafts Yes, this is awesome! :)
Thank you for your great tutorials! You are so inspiring. Two questions, is the fabric neoprene? Also, what is the reason for adding foam into the tail? Cheers.
Awwwwe thank you!! Yep it’s neoprene! And yes I added foam to try to hide the human features a bit (it didn’t quite work out but I’ve learned from it :)
That’s really cool you’re really talented!
Which silicone did you use for the fluke? I searched on Amazon but I did not find it, I searched up Aquarium Silicone Caulking. Could you send the link if you can?
What a lovely tail! If you want and if you like, try to Diy the Pax Mermaid tails, from the Mermaids (2002)
Ohhh maybe!!
Heyy other question? Im bizzy now with the clay. I got 10 kg brown clay but if its dry its breaking And im getting sick of it How do you do it Do you but silicone on wet clay or dry
I use a water based cheap clay, once it dries up completely I fill up the cracks :)
@@MytischCrafts mermad transformation water legs 💧 🧜♀️ yes blue 💙
Wow! Awesome work!
Thank you!
Do you ever stuff the cast of your legs to make it more of a solid piece? When I did the cast of the legs I had to stuff it with newspaper to keep the form
It's a very beautiful tail you're great, and can you please say what kind of glue is in the spray for the paralon jast I started making such a tail but I don't know where to get such glue for paralon
They stopped selling the one I used, but it’s a waterproof foam glue spray! You can also use silicone instead :)
I am more than ready to do it 👑💅
Omg amazing!i cant belive how many scales there are!
So so many!! Haha :)
Wow this looks dope
thank you!!
Could you tell me how many containers or ounces of dragon skin you used? And did you use a different silicone for the fluke (the really sticky globs that stuck to your glove)? Thx ❤
I’ve never seen scales done that way before and it’s super creative! Does the foam make the tail super floaty? Do you think the foam will mold when wet?
Omg hiii! Thank you! About the foam: The foam has a water flow trough system ( open cel structure) and there’s an anti-mold layer throughout, and in the foam, when I bought it! It’s pretty cool stuff :) and no it doesn’t make it floaty, it’s just a bit more difficult to swim in because it does fill with water
Harley mermaid water legs mar 🌊
How much silicone did u use total? It came out really nice btw!
You did amazing
I really want to make a tail of my own so I have a couple questions:) what exact aquarium silicone did you use? ( what brand) and where did you get the foam? The tail looks absolutely amazing! Also how many plastic scales did you use?
She said in the video roughly 10,000 scales, can't help with the rest of the stuff though sorry. I think as long as you buy specifically aquarium silicone caulking and/or dragon skin I should be fine regardless of brand
This looks so cool and I do really want one, but I don't want to try making it 😂
Beautiful
Thank you!!
@@MytischCrafts im still watching now. Amazing!!!!!! Thats why tails are expensive.. its so tediously done
What kind of neoprene is it in your h2o tail? Sorry for all of my questions, I am making the h2o one and want it done by our trip in December.
Hi I have quite a few questions for you but first off I would like to say that you did a great job and I love it so much. How much did it cost total and how much time did it take? What scales would you recommend for a Mako Mermaids inspired tail? Would the crystal necklace technique work with a ball shape attached to a silver mermaid tail ring for a moon ring replica? Would you consider doing a tail time challenge or a cost limit tail challenge? I know that's a lot of questions but it would really mean a lot if you answered them.
hey hii! no problem I love answering questions!! how much did it cost in total hmmm? uhm... about 250? maybe less maybe more? for a mako inspired tail I would recommand the technique I used in the vide, becouse no scales will fall off! check out some sites becouse there are several cool scale sequin designs to choose from! I actually thought the same thing for a mako's ring!! It would totally work to make a clay ring amd turn it into a mold, I would fill it with blue see trough resin and paint the tail part silver! And a budget tail challenge sounds like a great idea! I'm also thinking of doing an easier tail for the people that want a realistic tail but don't want to spend to much money or time on it :) Hope these answered your questions!!
@@MytischCrafts Thank you so much! What do you mean about the scales? Also do you know what your next project is?
@@kianithemermaid well what do you mean about the scales? haha , I'm not sure yet!
@@MytischCrafts Like what do you mean with the no scales will fall off because you scaled your h2o tail and they are almost identical. :)
Beautiful work girl Do u think one day u can do a H2O extended mermaid tail or siren extended tail can wait to see future projects and the next video
I did an H2O extended tail, made the extension ofscreen. :)
@@MytischCrafts was it in the video
@@sampowell6536 no, that’s why it’s of screen Xd it’s in the swimming video of it tho
@@MytischCrafts ok thanks
I'm trying to find Dragon skin to make this, where did you get the one you are using and is there a website or place you recommend looking at to buy it?
Where did you get the foam? And what are the measurements(width×length×thickness in inches)
You should check out Mermaid Aquata’s “long fish” tutorials she released of extended mermaid tails! I think you’d enjoy them and find some added finspiration for your already epic work!
heyyaa! yep I saw that one! looked really intresting, I'm not sure about the safety though. But it did give me a lot of inspiration :)
So cool! :)
thanks!!
Can't wait
same!
@@MytischCrafts orita en mermaid 🧜♀️ mar 🌊
Super dumb question, but isn't aquarium chaulking not skin safe? What should we be looking for when investing in the silicone for the fluke?
Fish are actually wayyy more sensitive then humans, and I only used it for the fin part which doesn’t touch my skin. but if you want, you can make the fluke out of dragon skin as well
Imagine what you look like wearing a siren tail and how would you feel about that? Also siren mermaid tails are 100% possible to make and it’s going to be my first one. Extended version is possible too
I love moch you creativity 🥰🥰🥰🥰
This tutorial seems easier than the H2o one and since you remove the scales you could make multiple tail to swim in without needing to buy more scales. Or instead of buying enough scales to cover the whole tail do it in portions and remove the existing one and use them again so you don't need as many scales per tail
exactly! I did this as well :)
So cool 😎
I'm curious about how much this tail ended up waying? If it doesn't way to much I will probably try making it since I'm almost done making the H20 tail
I’m not sure actually in the water it’s a lot lighter but on land about 10 Kg :)
You’re almost done??? Yayyy!
Heey , I really wanna use your technic ,but i have a question? How much clay did you use for the mold? Loves inge
Oh let me think.... uhhh should be around 8KG?
@@MytischCrafts thank you UwU
@@a.w.k.p9509 np! UwU
Hey , I couldnt find my other reaction so how did you do it with the clay im working with it now Brown clay 10 kg but every layer breaks by me Im now by second layer and i broke and im sick of it So i want some tips Did you do it on wet clay the silicone or dry
No my clay is dry and only cracks one time, when it does I fill the cracks. Do maybe have some pictures of it? You can send it trough insta, maybe that’s easier?
Did you make this for sale??? most realistic tail I have ever seeing
Hey😊 I‘m from switzerland and i can‘t find cheap neopren. Where can i get some of it? Can i use other fabric or must it be Neopren? ☀️
I’m not from Switserland, so I wouldn’t know where to find it there. You can also use spandex :)
@@MytischCrafts Thank you!😊 So.. you think it‘s possible to make a tail? Because you‘re professional. But i will try it. For sure it makes fun!🤣🐟☀️🤩
lovely
Lovely
thanks!
Woaaa😍😍
Aprendi a fazer cauda de sereia graças a vc amiga tomara que vc tenha 1.900000 de inscritos 🤜🤛
can you make a video of how you make a mermaid tail only from the movie SIREN
I love your videos,
Awww thank you!
how much does it normally take for you to make these i wanna try but i need to save up
A few weeks, it is honestly mostly drying time :)
wouldnt the spray adhesive just peel off the tail or do i use super strong and not put it where my leg parts bend
it didn't peel off for me, and because it is sandwiched it also doesn't go anywhere. I added extra silicone to parts that moved a lot.
ok ! thank you i didnt think you would reply @@MytischCrafts
and just a question do yuo recommend silicone or spray adhesive to stick it together @@MytischCrafts
@@RAWR.1I would say both! but if I had to pick one, it would be the waterproof glue adhesive, as glueing with silicone might rip the foam :)
@@RAWR.1aww why not :(
Today I finally got to do a test swim with my H2O mermaid tail in the water, but because of the silicone it latterly started to fall apart in the water, thankfully I got it out of the water before any real damage happened and was able to save it. Now my parents said that since that didn't work I can make a new mermaid tail from scratch and I plan to do this one. Can't wait 🙃 although I am upset about the H20 one but I am going to make sure we use the correct silicone
Omg no wayyy! Do you have pictures? What silicone did you use?? I hope you can make a new one! :)
@@MytischCrafts I used clear silicone at Walmart this is the type I used "DAP INC 18152 10.1oz Clear Alex Plus Acrylic Latex Caulk with Silicone" I have pictures on my Facebook page just search my name Evelyn Shilosky
@@MytischCrafts I really hope I can make a new one too
@@MytischCrafts were you able to find my Facebook page with the pictures?
The scales reminds me of Mermaid Kariel's tails. Any updates? 🧐
Yes I noticed that too! But kariels scales are bigger :) updates how?
When are you gonna do the swimming video?
I already filmed all the footage! hopefully in the beginning of authumn! :)
Can you make the tail form mako mermaids like the mermaid one or the merman if you want I love the tail
maybe one day!
How much did. the tail cost
I would love you to make a little mermaid tail
Wowwwwww❤❤❤
Can you plz make another h2o tail
I am making that right now!
You can follow my insta for updates on it :)
You culd try to make te tail from blue my mind if you only want
Ohhh I love that tail!! Maybe!!!
The shape of the fin at the end seems a tad off I remember it being much longer and thinner but other than that this is cool :D
Yeah but then I wouldn’t be able to swim in it as easily, and it would get hard to take with me anywhere. But you are right! In the movie they are longer :)
@@MytischCrafts I thought that mightve been your reasoning for slightly changing the design but its good to know for sure! :) I'm wondering if you might be inspired by my favorite tail design that ive seen so far kzhead.info/sun/hbyJhr5ta4pnkmw/bejne.html It does look harder to swim in but i think its still a good source of inspo 🌸 i want to either learn how to make one myself or find someone i can order such a thing from haha
@@radiocorrective yeah I’ve seen it it’s really cool! Only thing I noticed is they also use the feet as an extension and if you do that there will always be a weird “bump” seen from the side, as your feet cannot go all the way back. But they can go to the front, kinda hard to explain haha
You should've make the fluke longer
I couldn’t, I didn’t know how to do that safely so I didn’t
Can you swim in the tail can you make a video on that with the pirates of the Caribbean tail
I already took swimming footage! the YT video will be uploaded this fall!
are u selling any tails???? ill buy one!!!

@@brandonsandoval8120 vale jajaja no estoy entendiendo nada (ok Im actually not understanding anything
Make a mako mermaids tail please please
I’m sorry but I do not think I will ever make a mako mermaids tail, as the video would be completely the same as the H2O one besides the color. And I don’t want to make 2 the same videos
Please make a mako mermaids merman tail
oooh cool idea! maybe some day!
Wouldn't the merman tail just be the same process done in this just with blue pigment and do the backfin used in the H20 mermaid tail and not the fabric side fins in this one... hopefully with this info you can make a merman tail now
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Make a h2o extended mermaid tail
I already did tho 😂 I had half an extension though(of screen) maybe one day I’ll make it a full extension! :)

KAMADOPALMNEZUKO:แพนเค้กนางเงือกเหรอ
I don't, know why she made the tail so thik because in the movie the mermaids have thin mermaid tails
Yeah sorry I can’t chop of my feet that must be so frustrating for you :(
That’s all my money, R44
That you don't a mermaid tail the siren series
Didn’t u win a potc mermaid tail by some silicone company on insta ? 🤔
Yeah they ended up being scammers and never send me the tail. That’s why I made my own :)
oh gurl, just use a monofin no need for flippers
It’s gotta be extended!!! and I only used the footpockets :)
But other people should definitely buy a monofin
