How to transform a doll into a mermaid

Anyone who's ever been a little girl will appreciate the significance of this 'instant mermaid kit', specially made to fit standard-sized baby dolls. The result is what maker Amy Karol refers to as the 'merbaby'.

Making one of these interchangable tail fins couldn't be easier, and will provide hours of fun for toys that may otherwise have been left at the bottom of the pile. You can also add a cute, shell-shaped bra top for that authentic Little Mermaid look. All the materials you'll need are velcro, elsatic, wool felt and velour; there's a diagram you can use after the jump, but for full instructions check out Angry Chicken's blog.
