    Just simply avoid touching the top of the glue gun, since the glue is incredibly hot!
  • Question
    How can I make a mermaid tail with a hanger and long stockings?
    Community Answer
    First of all you do not need the hanger. With the long stockings you can sew the legs together. If you cant sew, hot glue them together and let dry.

    How do I avoid tripping on the tail?

    You can carry it with one hand like a dress, or you can make it shorter so you won't trip.
  • Question
    I want to look like a mermaid, but I am a kid and do not feel comfortable only wearing a bra and a tail. What do I do?
    Community Answer
    Instead of just wearing a bra, you could use some sort of tank top and decorate it. You can still attach shells to it and maybe add a scale design similar to the tail.
  • Question
    If you are stitching the side seams (or gluing) all the way up through the waist, how do you get into this skirt?

    It is best to stitch up the sides because glue will always come apart with movement. When you get to the waist, you might want to try stitching thick elastic to it so that you can fit in the tail.
