No problem MerHopefully and I'm not sure about other dollar trees but the one I went to only had white. They also had coconut tops when I went but I didn't buy any so I can't show you :-/

*sings* I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts...
Yeah, they've just got white shells. Since they are plastic, Krylon fusion spray paint would probably work well on them.
You know, I never would have thought of using felt! I've been using basically plastic sheeting to craft my bases. I went back and watched Raven's tutorial on how to get hair clips to stay in (I'm always sending that video to people cause it works so well!) and I realized she uses felt too! Wow... feel kind of like an idiot for never thinking of that XP Would probably make making them a whoooole lot easier! How do they hold up over time though I wonder? Seeing as felt can absorb and hold water, does it mess with the glue? What have you guys found?
I've not had any issues with my stuff, and I use all my personal stuff just about Egbert time I'm in the water.
I know I did a lot of testing when I started using it. Including letting it soak a couple days then trying to pull it apart (it being felt just glued to a shell). It suck well enough that I made it into a clip cause it wouldn't pull apart, lol

Egbert time? Do I detect a Homestuck fan? Yay for half-asleep typos! I'm glad the felt works so well for you, Morticia, I may use it myself when I make my swimmable gear. I haven't exactly been in a hurry to do it since I haven't gotten to swim in well over a year.
Thanks for letting me know about the testing I'll give it a try, do some quality testing of my own as well. I used clips using my bases for like a year and a half before I sold any, just to be sure they were really durable. For the felt, anything I sell before quality testing is completed.. well I'll just smother in e6000 :P Cause some of the styles I want to try I just won't be able to do with my regular bases. Thanks again!
Is there anything you can use to glue something TO silicone? I want to put some pearls on some of Atlantis Mermaid's silicone shells.
Mermaid Jessica (among others) use SilPoxy from Smooth-On.

Can anyone suggest a good place to get nice realistic fake seaweed online? I live in Australia, and none of the craft stores or pet shops have nice selections. Thanks!

IKEA has fake plants that work really well! I found them by accident and they look really lovely. You just have to pull them from the foam bade

Awesome, I'm not too far from one, thanks Romy!

Thanks Iona, I tried searching things like "fake aquarium plants" and didn't have much luck finding anything nice!
