  2. Cut shiny green material into the shape of a tail or skirt and sew to bottom of shirt to create a "dress."
  3. Sew tulle around top of fin.
  4. Take a piece of tulle and gather one end to create a flipper and sew it to the bottom fin. Repeat.

This home made costume idea is great. I made it for my 3 year old for halloween this year. I started early because I'm not that crafty but actually it only took me a day to make and that was with her running around. I made a few changes -- Jo ann fabrics has a mermaid print fabric they sell at halloween time its super adorable. And for the hair I glued the felt to a head band instead of a cap, just seemed easier to me. Over all easy to make, easy on the budget, and comes out looking great.
