DIY Mermaid Tail

Blankets and beach things usually don’t sound like the best combination… except when they involve mermaid tails. Yes, we’re talking about mermaid tail blankets, which are only the coolest and cutest way to stay warm when you’re cuddling and having a Netflix marathon on the couch. Unfortunately, buying an already-made mermaid tail blanket can be expensive, and other DIY tutorials are long and complicated.

Make your mermaid tail as sparkly and embellished as you want, then wear it to your heart’s desire. You’re going to be obsessed, we promise.
