With Halloween nearing us next month, I wanted to share with you one of my favorite costumes I made for my kids, which is this mermaid costume! It was easy to make and it’s a perfect costume to dress your infant in who can’t walk yet.
For the mermaid tail:
1. Put the green fabric and the thin cotton form on top of the other, and cut it in to two mermaid tail shapes.
2. Sew the green fabric and the cotton together in the wave lines.
3. Sew the edges on the cotton side, flip it over and add elastic on the waist.
4. Sew the vertical fin lines on the bottom.
For the sea shell bra:
1. Cut 4 sea shell shapes.
2. Put two felt shells together and sew 4 vertical lines on it.
3. Repeat on the other two sea shells.
For the headband:
1. Cut 3 mini sea shell shapes
2. Sew 4 vertical lines on each of them like the sea shell bra.
3. Glue it onto the elastic headband.
my favorite part was her mermaid fin popping out of her stroller!
Are you dressing up for Halloween this year? If so, what will you be? I’m still thinking of a Halloween costume for our family of 5, if you have any good ideas, send them my way!
