About
For anyone who wants to be a mer-made.
I saw a top like this a while ago (I think it was by Wildfox) and absolutely loved it, so I couldn't resist making my own. I love the thought of being a mermaid, so it seemed pretty appropriate. :)

You Will Need
-
Step 1
Print out shell templates from the internet (try googling "shell outline" or something similar, and print one you like). It's easiest if you print out two of the same.
-
Step 2
Put your top on and decide where you want the shells to be placed.
-
Step 3Pull your shirt over a pillow, placing the templates under the shirt, and trace over them in tailor's pen.
-
Step 4Take your templates out, and put plastic underneath (I used plastic filing sleeves).
-
Step 5Use purple fabric paint (in a tube) to paint along your lines.
-
Step 6
Iron the back of your painted area to set the paint, or follow the instructions on the packaging.
