I MADE A DIY SILICONE MONOFIN AND TRIED SWIMMING IN IT! | Rose Quartz Mermaid Tail Making
After a year of procrastinating here's another video!
Today I'm going to share the next stages of my mermaid tail making and that includes SWIM FOOTAGE!
As some of you may know I love making mermaid tails and mermaid related goodies. Last year I took on a project of my dreams - a resin/silicone hybrid mermaid tail inspired by the rose quartz crystal. Of course life happened and it took me quite a long time to make and film + edit all of the footage but here it is finally!
In this video we're going to be making a 100% silicone monofin which is a tricky task...
But I hope you enjoy!
I'm hoping to get the whole tail made in time for Mercon UK which gives me a month to work on it! AAAAAAAAAAAAH! HELP! lol
Anyway, I forgot how this whole yt thing works so here's the video I guess....

    Coming from a swim team swimmer with oodles of goggle horror stories, the gogills probably aren't really that great if you're going more than a few meters deep. Those little tiny air pockets compress and sqeeze the living daylights out of your eyes. I'd rather have slightly stingy eyes than bruised suction raccoon eyes

    I just recently made my own fabric tail. I also used a pretty stretchy lycra fabric, but it turned out alright! It slides a little bit down my legs, but I probaly didnt make the waisband fitted enough. I didn't make a typical mermaid shaped fluke for it, because I'm using a finish wave with it. Instead I opted for a overall rounded shape, but with tendrils flowing from the bottom of the fin. This allowed me to have a completely open bottom, and just an invisible corner stitch on either side to keep the skin in place over the monofin. The light fabric makes some beautiful whispy flows in motion, and makes the tail look almost like a betta or siamese fighing fish. I think it's really good having as open bottom as possible with ligher and stretchier fabric

    This person is doing very well, and seem like they know what they are doing, but not every monofin you make is safe. I recommend buying a fin from fin fun, they aren’t too expensive and are very durable. No hate to the creator, just giving a disclaimer as somebody who has been doing this for a few years. Please don’t go make a cardboard fin and think that is is safe. You can’t use any silicone either. Not trying to ruin the fun, just giving a safety tip. This woman has been using silicone and mermaiding for a while and her fin does look pretty stable, just giving a reminder to do research first.

    when I was 5 I opened my eyes under water for the first time. Honestly, it was so clear and easy, I was shocked. As a 19 year old, I still do it. It’s never hurt. Sometimes i do rinse my eyes with regular tap water to make sure it doesn’t burn but I swim professionally as a diver now.

      I’ve swam in all different bodies of water from a young age and was on swim team throughout my teens… I had no idea people were so afraid of opening their eyes underwater and avoided doing it! I used to a lot when I was younger. My eyes would get a little blurry or red/irritated directly after but it usually would go away fairly quickly and I never thought it was particularly painful - during or afterwards. I’m shocked to see so many people say they’ve never done it & also express uncertainty and fear about doing it! Interesting!
