For my daughter’s birthday we had a fun mermaid themed pool party. The highlight of the part was making these easy mermaid tails out of their beach towels. Today I’m going to show you an easy tutorial so you can make your own beach towel mermaid tails.
I recently featured the creative party invites we made for Leah’s mermaid party, but now I want to show you something else we created that was a hit with the little swimmers – mermaid tails made from beach towels. These mermaid tails are so easy to make and the girls absolutely loved them!
How To Make Mermaid Tails
Materials Needed:
- Beach towel
- Ribbon (long enough to tie in a bow around each girl’s waist
- Rubber band
Directions:
- Place a beach towel around her waist with the long part hanging down like a train of a dress.
- Tie your ribbon in a bow around her waist and then fold the top of the towel over to cover the ribbon and better secure the towel from slipping down.
- Wrap a rubber band around the end of the towel, leaving about a foot at the end. The last time you wrap it around, don’t pull the entire towel through- leave the rubber band in the center to split the towel and make your mermaid tail.
My girls are going to love doing this. Thank you for such a simply fun idea.
Thanks so much for stopping by! I appreciate your kind comments. Have a great weekend……
