Mermaid Princess, not Ariel. My daughter had the desire to be Ariel for Halloween last year when she was 6 yrs. old but I just couldn’t bring myself to buy her the huge red wigs little girls wear to pull off being Ariel.

Wow, how labor intensive were these Mermaids Costumes? At least 100 man hours, but it was sure worth. We (Leigh Anne and Dawn) try to make our own costumes every year. It wasn’t easy to walk/shuffle in the costume, but they were sure a blast to wear. Once we settled on mermaids, we started with … Read more
For Halloween, I decided I wanted to be my favorite all time Disney Princess, Ariel from The Little Mermaid. I didn’t want one of the store-bought, not-as-cool looking costumes, so my mom and I came up with this creation for our Little Mermaid Costume. For the “tail”, we made a skirt using green fish scale … Read more
I’m not sure how I came up with the idea for this dead mermaid costume, it just sort of happened. The net and the fake grass/seaweed was bought from a craft store. I used fishing line to tie all the junk (chunks of the grass, cans, old bobbers, and seashells that had a hole drilled … Read more
