my first tail (sequins tail)

**MerEmma** · 01-16-2013, 02:17 PM

Oh gosh, darnit. If the iris sequins from Cartwright rub off, my design is pretty...out the window, lol.

I'd stick with it MerEmma, even if your sequin's iris film comes off, its still sewn on the neoprene with the sequin as well.
And since you're stitching them each on individually like I am with my turquoise tail,

they should at least stay with the tail and add a kind of molten look... hard to explain. But for some reason I'm not worried about it. So I think you should stick with it! ^_^ don't give up!

I haven't started on mine yet, but I was planning on using the Cartwright. I think I'll wait and see how yours turns out before I buy the monofin (don't have plans to until April-May). I do love the sequins you're using though; the Carnival color, right?

**FreshWaterMermaid** · 01-17-2013, 11:01 AM

Carnival, Bahama blue, and a green one, sea green? Or something like that yeah.

Ah, pretty cool. The colors I was planning to use were Carnival, Bahama Blue, Mermaid Green & Deep Blue Sea for the fluke and then maybe just Crystal Clear for body...I dunno. Thank you for answering my questions, and sorry for rambling, haha.

i think it will be good, i positive :-)

It's a pity that cartwright doesn't have red sequins ...i have found some but it is hard.

**Mermaid Petronella** · 01-20-2013, 09:21 AM

Such a gorgeous design!

**NatalieMermaid** · 01-21-2013, 04:56 PM

Did someone say there was a special knot they were doing after each sequin?

**FreshWaterMermaid** · 01-21-2013, 05:58 PM

I used square knots with each sequin.
But I might change to a figure 8. Might stay tied better. Dunno...

What is that stuff? It is plastic? right? Sequins are very nice to me I find it hard to get them, just buy online

**Kanti** · 04-10-2013, 06:40 PM

Holy JESUS
Is this tail still being made? It's beautiful!
Something about rainbow tails is just so attractive to me I have no idea O_O

**starlite** · 04-21-2013, 03:55 PM

I will post picture this week, it's ready for my trip to the maldives :-)

**mermaid_nixie** · 04-25-2013, 07:52 AM

How exciting!! Post a picture when you can!! ^_^

I've always wanted a sequin tail but it looks so intimidating xD

**Jadestone** · 05-07-2013, 04:08 PM

I'm so excited to see the finished product!!

What color/kind of sequins did you use at the top? The red, orange, and yellow ones? I'm looking to make a tail in those shades but I can't find any type that has the same shapes as well as good colors : /
