Hi all
I am trying to make a new mermaid bra and crown and I cannot find where to source the plastic seaweed plant that can be added on. I know lots of mermaids use it and it looks sooooo pretty I would dearly love to find some to add to my costume. I live in the UK but if there is anyone who could possibly let me know of an online store that sells it or what it is called (it may have a special name I'm not sure) I would be eternally grateful.
thank you and mermaid blessings to you xxxxx

Google- artificial aquarium plants, you'll get a variety of different types and even some off the wall colors. :)

eBay has some great deals as well!

Most mermaids just go to the a craft store with a (fake) floral section and pick out grass or other green leafy things that look like seaweed. They may actually be something different though. For example, one of the things that gets used a lot is actually "bamboo leaves". Hope this helps!

Maybe you can find it in shops for aquarium and so ;)

I found seaweed like plants at craft stores that carry fake floral plants. Michel's is where I got mine. It comes on a big plant for around $4-$8 and you can cut off what bits an pieces you want. I made a bra and have left overs for another one. It's MUCH MUCH MUCH cheaper than buying aquarium plants at a pet store.

Now if only Michaels carried faux sargassum seaweed, I'd be set. ;)

Oh thank you so much :-) I will check out my local craft store. In the UK we don't have as many good stores so will look on eBay too. Your advice is so much appreciated xx
