DIY Mermaid Fins
- 1). Cut the metallic material into small scale shapes. You will need enough to cover the skirt and the fins.
- 2). Cut the interfacing into a large, double fin shape and fuse the fusible sides together according to manufacturer's directions.
- 3). Sew the fins onto the skirt by pinning the right sides together, leaving a 1/4-inch seam. Sew along the seam line created with the pins.
- 4). Attach the scales to the skirt and fins. Sew each fin on with needle and thread or use colored metallic staples to staple the scales to the skirt. The staples are less time consuming but may show more than the thread.
