You Will Need (3 things)
- Wire and Wire tools
- Nailpolish
- Sparkle Mod Podge
Steps (8 steps, 150 minutes)
-
1
Gather you materials and make a loop in your wire for the jump ring.
*tip: I usually wrap my wire around my Pliars twice so that the loop is not too thin. -
2
Twist the “tail” of the wire around the longer piece so that the loop doesn’t come undone.
After that you can start to form the tail -
3
Shape the top to be either rounded or creased/ square like.
-
4
Bend like so a bit away from the loop
-
5
Make a few more bends. (Lol it looks like pac man!)
-
6
Bend it over and wrap the wire like so.
Also now is a good time to make sure the fins look like fins and not pac man
-
7
Now go back to the top and wrap the wire in the shape you want.
Trim off the excess -
8
Now it’s time to paint it!
Take breaks between applying the nail polish so that the nail poilsh can dry and collect/clump together to form the scaly part of the tail.
Once that’s done, apply a coat with scale like glitter and wait for that to dry.
After that last bit is dry, modpodge it, wait til it drys and then your done
