Hi guys! Today we're making this sparkly, flexible Mermaid tail for dolls :D I made this with liquid latex from a craft store, and the process is really easy. So if you wanna know how to make a mermaid tail for any of your dolls, then keep watching ;)
Good to know:
I work in 1:12 scale, but you can make them in any size you want and add headpins to make them charms :) I used a mix of the polymer clay brands Fimo and Cernit, but you can use any brand you like. The liquid clay I use is from the brand Fimo. My mold maker is from Siligum/Sili-put.
Thank you so much for watching, I hope you enjoyed this video ^^

This is a really cute idea--I could see it modified to make other sea creatures such as sirens or merrows (like Lagoona Blue from Monster High) by adding latex fins to the doll's arms or small latex gills on her cheeks or the sides of her neck.
I love that she still has dolls awesome great job love this
is it waterproof
Love your diy's but is most of the material you use Is it water proof just in case.

I wish I found this video when I played with dolls (I used to love playing mermaids)
Awesome!
This is genius!!
Next craft project, here I come!
Wonderful! thank you so much :)
I feel like making the part around the legs out of fabric might give the legs more articulation with the tail on... or does it actually bend quite a bit?
+Bubble Trumpets it bends fine :)
+AkameruKawaii Oh cool! Also do you think this method would work for fairy wings? Sorry for the stupid questions...
+Bubble Trumpets it should
I like your nails
what kind of liquid latex are you using and where can I find it note that I do not have in Michaels or craft stores
grace tenenbaum I'd order online then
grace tenenbaum or if you have a party city near you, they'd have it
No I don't but thank you 😊 I will see what I can find online
WOW
OMG I need!!!
Cool
Perfect Aka♥♥♥
Is the latex you used the same as the makeup latex or is there a certain type?
KuteKitty Kira I'm using traditional face latex, but I think you can use any that sticks
Hufflepufflez :3 okay thank you!
wow youre my favorit creater
Do you know if the laytex can be used to make a full body suite ( I would try to make a lady bug or zero suit samus with that stuff.)
full body suit for humans or toys? bc if its for humans there are shops like libidex that sell latex clothes.
for toys I like to make mother high/ever after high customs.
yeah it probably would work, you'd just have to make it two piece bc it would be difficult to get on/off the doll
awesome!
beautiful
Wow
What craft store did you get the liquid latex from? I looked at Michaels and I didn't find it, plz tell me 😊
you can get it at most costume stores; party city, etc.
+Matthew Kelly ty!
np
is the anything you could use besides latex like liquid silicone? I don't have latex...
The silicon does not work very well so...
what do you use if your alergic to latex
Elizabeth Lorne silicone
is this water proof or not just wondering and would lated work for us to make a mermaid tail like life size just wondering
no, it's cheaper to just buy a life sized tail.
can you use acrillic paint to colour the tail?????
cool!
I LOVE YOU
👍👍
So cool
hi, how you paste the parts of the tail? and the tail Can I take this to wear others dolls? please thank you
love it
yes!!!
I bet if you used pearl ex powdered pigments in emerald and sapphire instead of the talc it would add that extra fabulousness to this
that was realy nice iwant it
Do her legs bend cause i have the same doll and want to do it
how did u do ur nails?
woa I like 😍
Cool 🦄😀
SO GOOD LOVE YOUR CHANNELP.S.CAN U MAKE A DOLL MEMAID TOP
Is it water proof
Can you use the makeup latex
Derek Williams 50/50
omg !!!
I just watch this for entertainment nobody got time for this
Glindagoregous !!
Leeani Sirju me too
I where did you find all the tools and the plaster
Does It Work For LPS?
how long does the latex take to dry
Breyer Rose not too long
where do u get latex
Can you this latex tail be used for humans and not just dolls
You can make your own out of silicone. A lot of professional mermaids use that. But I've yet to find a detailed-enough tutorial. :/
would this work with hot glue?
Did you make a top for the mermaid
Do you think this would work on an American Girl Doll or a big doll like that?
+MyOnlyLife Yes, you just have to ad more layers to make the latex stronger :)
+AkameruKawaii could you make it for a human? Just curious!
Does this work for LPS?
ficou muito lindo amei 😍
can i move it on the knees because i will make this for monster high doll pls i need your answer☺
I dont see why you couldnt but Idk im. not the person who mad it
Fabien Wallenstein I'm pretty sure if you make the tail just a bit longer than the doll then yes
This was a really cool video! But unfortunately the fiancé is allergic to latex, so I'll have to go the fabric route. Nevertheless it was a fun, informative video. Thanks! :)
Can you use something else to make the tail because I'm allergic to latex
Hi frisk you dont talk in the game and why you are talking here \:v/
Mary Nya because this is the internet, not a game lol
Lunar Pandas BUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!

Fergy J lol

Bernice Kohnen She said you can, duh 😂😂😂

Can you use the mermaid tail in the pool
Of course
Woa

Wow your much better than me
I dont have Latex:(
Would it work on a human?
