I've already said this but i wanted another chance of you seeing this . i bought centaur of attention and used it to make my cervitaur costume . and altered this tutorial to make the top to go with it. :)
The way she said “I’m gonna be a mermaid” in the clip killed me
I love how your videos aren't just "how to"s. I feel like you "teach" skill's more than you do step by steps. I hope this makes sense?
I need a mermaid bra to wear around the house 24/7. It's quarantine time so it's perfectly justifiable Edit: Btw I have a KZhead video about how to make a painted jean jacket
Okay Gaby I feel you!
If I actually had the body to pull it off I'd probably wear one as a regular thing
I personally think the best thing about this tutorial… is it's applicable to a lot of different costumes not necessarily just mermaids. Like watching this gave me a lot of ideas for a centaur top
This top is so hecking beautiful and it actually looks like a way simpler project than I thought it was.... The temptation to make one for myself is REAL
Dew it
E6000 will attach basically anything to anything else, and it's waterproof once fully cured! I don't know what chlorinated water would do to it, but for most situations where I'm attaching embellishments to fabric, I prefer E6000 over hot glue.
Thanks for the tip!
E6000 stays on fine in chlorinated water. I made my top using the glue and it works great. Just make sure it fully cures!
@@dj2thiccccccc hey question: does E6000 work on silicone or do I have to get something else?
So silicone will only attach to silicone. Hope this helps!
@@dj2thiccccccc so I'll need a special silicone glue then? Cheers, good to know I don't suppose you'd have any recommendations?
Honestly, every time I watch one of Ginny's videos I get inspired to work on my projects again!! Thanks for the tutorial!!
For an update on materials: mers don’t recommend hot glue for swimming because they don’t hold up against the force of water. We recommend a glue called E6000. It takes more time for it to harden but it’s permanent. So anything you use to manage the glue, expect that they’ll be used exclusively for the glue.
Turned out really beautiful! I can't wait to see the music video!!
I was about to mention sea/snail shells. For drilling you might have better luck with a pin vice. It's much slower than some kind of power drill or dremel but it won't generate the same level of heat and will give you much more control.
this is SO COOL I also really like the advice about just sort of tacking down the leaves and stuff rather than trying to sew them all the way down
I just thought I should check if this came out and it did just a minute ago!
I love this tutorial and works so well with the mermaid esthetic. It gives me great ideas on how to make future costumes for my daughters and a little inspiration for my own cosplay.
I love everything you do Ginny! You’re so professional in every thing that you do and it’s really really admirable!
I have this strange feeling that this video will get more views than usual. Bra looks great Ginny! :D
I'm gonna say "because people like mermaids, right?" and then stick my fingers in my ears and ignore any response
Ginny Di If this helps, I clicked on the video because I love all your cosplay content and mermaid cosplays in general. Your mermaid design looks incredible!
@@GinnyDi That is probably for the best.
I’m excited! I love watching a project come together like this
Once again, such a beautiful job Ginny Di!
So glad to be quick to the video! Your videos are super helpful and I can't wait to see more! I'll definitely be making this and using it this summer.
Yesss excited for all the mermaid content! 🙌🏻
This looks so good! thanks Ginny for this awesome tutorial!
Ahhh thank you so much for making this! I've been wanting a good mermaid bra tutorial, but never found a good one. I also tried reaching out to a few artists to ask for tips, but I would be ignored, which was a bummer, but oh well! This top looks amazing! I am excited to try my hand at making my own with lily pads! As I have a custom mertailor fabric tail coming that is frog/pond themed 💖
This is GORGEOUS! I'm not totally into mermaid stuff, but this was just super cute and you've inspired me to make a forest fairy/nymph/whatever version. :)
Delightful and informative! Thanks for sharing Ginny!
Can't wait to see the whole ensemble :)
Oooh! Great video and I loved the teaser for the next video! Thank for sharing
Oooh! This method can also work for a Wildmother cosplay, with slightly different materials.
Ah! I am so excited for more mermaid content! 🤩
This is so cool and I'm so excited to see it in action in your upcoming music video!
Me: KZhead: *Mermaid bra* Me:
Thank you for making this! I have a friend who recently bought their own mermaid tail and I think this video will inspire them should they decide to make their own mermaid bra!!! I love this video!
This came out beautifully! I'm inspired to adapt the methods to make a merman vest.
Great stuff! Love the result. Useful tips. Thanks.
Ahh this looks great!! I love all of the little details (the pearls are so pearlfect!! ;P). I'm so excited for the music video :D
Have seen so many mermaid tops (including like 600$ ones) and i actually like yours the best. Awesome job and thanks for the tutorial I'm definetly going to try it
Little tip if you ever wanna make another one and use shells. Hot glue will slowly degrade in water, the common used glue for accesories and such for mermaiders is e6000 it holds forever!!! I even have it holding real giant lionspaw shells on my bra(DD) they're super heavy but the glue holds tight still!!!
The techniques you showed will definitively make the process a lot easier for me when I get around to actually make a full costume for my half-elf druid/cleric
Gret bra! Love your details on how you made it and why you chose to do things as you did.
Omg this is exactly what I was looking for!!! Omg ty!
This turned out awesome, Ginny!!!
Your mermaid top looks Beautiful, I wonder if your gonna make mermaid hair accessories? keep up the great work. :)
No plans at the moment just because I don't see them staying in place while I swim underwater, but maybe for future work!
@GinnyDi Where did you buy that tail? I’m getting my first tail and monofin from FinFun, but I’m curious as to where you got yours!
So much hype for that mermaid music video! I just got my own tails
Omg I’m definitely making this
Btw. If you want to make little holes in seashell a finger nail drill works great.
Ahh you're wearing Tracies seashell top! ^-^💕
Yesss I have her urban mermaid crop in two colors because I love it so much!
@@GinnyDi That's so awesome! What is the other color? 🙈💕 I realy wanted the dark blue one but at that time I didn't have a credit card yet and now it's not aviable anymore unfortunatly. But I'm definetly planing on getting the standard one some day! 💖
The teal one, of course!! It's a perfect match for my hair, it's almost too ridiculous, haha!
Cool mermaid . Very inspiring nice work.
Hey. As a trans female, I really love your channel and I just want to thank you for this.
Of course, I'm happy to help!!
HI, i hope you see this Ginny, but i used and altered this tutorial for a top for my cervitaur costume that i am currently making. also i bought centaur of attention for the making of the costume.
I dunno why but your saying "if you're in to Mermaid stuff" made me chuckle way more than it should have. I can't wait for 100 to upload on KZhead.
Thanks for the kelp!
So this video is getting saved in my save for later so I can use it as a guide. My daughter is 9 and obsessed with mermaids she wants an under the sea party for her 10th birthday (in april). What would you suggest I do? Go out and buy an A cup bra and use that or do you have any other suggestions?
My suggestion is to buy a cheap bikini top swim suit from the girls section in whatever size will likely fit her on her birthday, while they’re still in stores. (if you’re unsure or think she might sprout up, you could get a couple sizes from a thrift store). A swimsuit is more likely to come in fun colors (like pink or turquoise) for a little girl than a bra will, which are more likely to be grey/white/black/tan. Depending on how big she is, a smaller bra might be too loose on her. If you go the bra route, be sure to check the band size, not just the cup size. A girls swimsuit is more likely to lay flat in the chest because of lack of padding, which might not be what you want. If she really wants padding and to swim in it, you could also check out the juniors section swimsuits and get something really small, but they’re not likely to fit a 10 year old. (This is really long and unsolicited, sorry! I hope this helps tho)
@@katie6325 I'm a single dad to 3 kids so this was extremely helpful. I didn't even consider a bikini top. Thank you so much.
You could also try a tank top/cami shirt cropped shorter. It'll be flatter across the chest with less defined shape than a bra would be, but for a little girl, that might be okay.
You could also try a training bra, you can find then in girls section in most clothing stores
Yeah I would say a chopped up tank top would do well for fitting properly, but if that doesn’t work for you, or you want something with it’s own shape/form, then anything like a swim suit bikini top type thing would work
Omg, it's so pretty.
I have never clicked on a video so fast in my entire life-
Dang! So cool!!!! 😍
You’re so cute and the product of your time and creativity is amazing ❤️
I love this. Question, are you using a bra or a bikini top for the base?
Mermaid pun! 4:38 C'x
I have no use for or intention to make one of these but PRETTY I WANT ONE.
Omg! It's so prettyyyyyyyy!!! Wish I had that talent. What size is your shooter monofin?
I don't have the Shooter, I have the Wave!
This is so cool! How would you go about washing this?
By hand, carefully! I don’t imagine it would ever need anything more than a good rinse, though. If it really needed a wash, I’d probably do a gentle cycle on cold in a garment bag and air dry it.
Why am I thinking the music video you are talking about is more just an excuse to swim around like a mermaid? :D Either way, I look forward to watching it, your singing never disappoints.
what makes you think ALL of my work isn't just an excuse to prance around as a fantasy creature?? 😜
I can’t find nice leaves anywhere, where did you get yours?
Could you make a tutorial of how to take one off? Kinda stuck
Oh man I don't even cosplay anymore and I kinda don't necessarily plan to until cons are a thing again but DAMN if I don't feel like making a mermaid bra now 😆🥰💕
Get out of here Ginny. This is a gorgeous design, thank you for this tutorial. I don't even need a mermaid bra, it wasn't even on my radar, but ... time to get magical.
They should use this in the new little mermaid movie
Hello, great tutorial! I want to make one for my wife, where did you find your artificial leaves?
Just the floral department of a craft store!
Fuck yeah, mermaids are dope!
Oh gee now I wanna get a bra and just cover it in fake moss. Probably more fairy or swamp themed than yours, but you have inspired me!
me, a man: hmm, interesting (i mean like i want to make this even though i don’t have a chest to wear it)
It is looking good, now to see you swim in it.
Coming soon!!
If you dont want to sew e6000 is a good alternative! But PLEASE if you plan to use e6000 only use it in a ventilated area with a mask that will keep you safe from fumes!
Im a simple man..when I see Mermaid Bra....I click.
Ik this video is really old, but if you don’t mind me asking, where did you get the fake seaweed? I can’t find anything that isn’t for fish tanks 😭✋🏻
😃
Mer-uly
Mermaid photoshoot when?
Try watching to the end of the video 😜
@@GinnyDi well now I feel silly. Looking forward to the music video!
Why am I here? I’ve been mermaiding since i was 9-
Technically everything on land is also underwater, technically
What are your thoughts on critical role coming back????
SHEER UNBRIDLED JOY. this is the only good thing that has ever happened
*Old person voice.* It's been 84 years.... Well not quite that long but still.
I didn't know mermaids wore bras.. unless they were in animated Disney movies.
Hmph. No dinglehoppers and not a single snarfblat. 2/10 /s
Hmph. only knows one mermaid. 2/10
I think the real issue here is that I only know one seagull with supposed knowledge of Human culture. You make wonderful content and have been a much-needed voice of encouragement and positivity in this crazy world we’re living in, keep up the fantastic work!
