Spandex Tail for a Three Year Old

So I made my niece a tail for Christmas. It's kind of funny-looking because I made it just today and I figured she's gonna grow out of it and being just 3, she won't notice the flaws. :P

The black part is velcro that i added so she can get her feet out and walk in it if she wants to. It's only visible because the adhesive that I used needs to dry lol but I think it looks kinda just blah. I know she's going to love it, and it looks pretty much just like mine, but I like to put extra effort into the things I give to people.

Any ideas for what I can add to it to..I don't know..spice it up? Haha preferably something that I might have around the house because I don't wanna go spend money :P

Love it! So so so adorable

thats a good idea that its walkable! that can prevent some face plants from happening :P
and that colour is just like mine!!! <3
it looks really good!

So cute!!!! Maybe if you have any extra paints laying around you can add little patches of scales here and there, or rays on the fluke??

I thought about painting scales, but I think she really liked the sparkleyness on mine Haha so I decided I would just leave it. But I might do the rays, thanks for the suggestion!(:

how cute!

Thanks! Once she gets older, I'll make her one with an actual monofin, but for now she doesn't even fit the kids' ones :P

I think some extra frills around the waist might look cute

Added some finny things! :PAttachment 8347 yeah, it's weird-looking, but still

Omahgah! The fins are uber-cute.

not weird...SUPER CUTE! :)

oh that is 10 kinds of adorable!

if you want to add something without losing the sparkles, maybe try a little starfish on the hip, like mermaid misty from pokemon :D

^ That would be adorable!!

Attachment 8404 She was one excited little girl haha she put it on right away. And only fell down once! Lol

Also, it looks weird in this picture because of the angle and she has her feet up, but it does look a lot cuter haha

aww how adorable! :3

My mom wants to get a picture of us in our tails together because they match haha I can't wait until she learns how to swim!

So my sister and dad took my niece and nephew to the Aquarium of the Pacific (without me! ): lol) and had this picture taken. I didn't notice until yesterday that my niece was wearing her mermaid tail! Haha she doesn't like the velcro being in the front.Attachment 8505

Omg cute!!!

I thought it was a cute idea! Haha I don't know if she chose to wear it or if my sister suggested it, but a mermaid at the aquarium just fits! Lol
