      For your Mer-cave, you should change the walls to a nice deep blue or a summery-teal ♥️ 😊

    • @TheMagicCrafter
      @TheMagicCrafter  7 лет назад +2

      Isn't that odd?!? Maybe they'll be easier to find in the summer? :o
      But I am so glad the links helped you! Sometimes internet shopping is the only way to go! ☺
      Thanks so much for watching ♥

    Yeah, the trolly thingy is essential. Sillicon tails weigh a lot (I don't have one, unfortunately.), and sometimes, it can be hard to find someone to carry you around. I really love how creative and helpful your channel is. I have not started my mermaiding career yet, because my mom probably wouldn't react in the best way, but your channel is really helping me get the knowledge I need, so thank you. :)

    • @TheMagicCrafter

      Awww!! Thank you for your kind words, dear! You're right, the trolleys are a lifesaver!!! ♥ I hope you will make your mermaid dreams come true someday! ♥

      Thank you, dear! I love my tail too, but not the mer-cave so much! 😆I'm glad you do though! ♥

    • @kaitlynconnolly1363
      @kaitlynconnolly1363 6 лет назад +1

      The Magic Crafter oh, no problem! If you change it, I think you should paint it a nice blue or a summer teal ♥️

    • @TheMagicCrafter
      @TheMagicCrafter  6 лет назад

      Thanks for the suggestion! I don't think I'll ever change it though. This tail is *perfect* for me. My dream tail! ♥

    • @kaitlynconnolly1363

    • @TheMagicCrafter
      @TheMagicCrafter  6 лет назад

      Oh! 😂 I agree 100% with you on that! The yucky yellow color of the basement walls are in need of a facelift! 😆

    I have that exact same cart at work. 😱 I'm out for another week because I had jaw surgery, but my mom is the manager. I can get her to bring it home, so I can try it for you if you want.

    • @TheMagicCrafter
      @TheMagicCrafter  7 лет назад +1

      Awe! :C I hope you start to feel better soon. Be sure to get plenty of rest!
      That would be awesome though! But only so long as you don't get in trouble! X3

    • @Victranic
      @Victranic 7 лет назад +1

      So mine turns out to be the smaller size but I think with the bigger size if you bungee corded a folding chair to the handle it would work best. Then you wouldn't be so awkwardly scrunched.

    Hi ! Nice video, thank you ! Do you also wear your neoprene socks in the FinFun tail ? I just began learning mermaiding, and by 5th lesson I started to feel like my feet are sliding in my FinFun monofin and that's really annoying because it makes my whole body flip. 😂 Greetings from Switzerland.

    • @TheMagicCrafter
      @TheMagicCrafter  5 лет назад

      Thank you!! I have not worn my socks with my FinFun yet, but I imagine that you could do so! FinFun tails are great, but you're right... they don't always stay on the best! 😅

      My hair is actually a wig! Which I have a video on too... ahahaha! Sorry for so many links! ruclips.net/video/MTiZ9Zo6xXQ/видео.html

    Can you use thease also for a fabric mermaid tail?

    • @TheMagicCrafter
      @TheMagicCrafter  6 лет назад

      Do you mean the neoprene socks? It all really depends on who you get your tail from, since all fabric tails are different. You don't really need to let air-bubbles out for fabric tails, nor do you have to lather up in oil either! Hehe! Strap adjustments and neoprene socks may be helpful depending on the brand of fabric tail that you go with. :)
      I hope that helped answer your question some?

      I've never tried regular socks before? That's a great question! I imagine they'd work to keep the heel straps from slipping, but I wouldn't wear them in chlorine... it could cause them to deteriorate, I'd imagine! And because they are typically made of an absorbent material, they will swell up.

    @EloiseRaeCullen 6 лет назад +1

    Ok so... what should i do if... im fat af? I worry about fitting into a tail and actually swimming with it... bc im quite large. Not morbidly but definitely not model status either. Id probably be the most busted lookin mermaid in all of history 😫

    • @TheMagicCrafter
      @TheMagicCrafter  6 лет назад +1

      Do you already have a silicone tail made for you? I've recently gained more weight than I'd like and can still fit into my tail just fine. Silicone tails offer quite a bit of "wiggle-room," as they are somewhat stretchy. Try to stay very close to a certain weight so that you know your tail wont be too big or too small.
      It is a good idea to find a weight that is healthy for your body and get your tail made at that time. That way you have the extra motivation to maintain good health. Last year, my tail literally helped save my life, as it made me realize I was becoming quite underweight... I was too little for my tail and HAD to gain weight if I wanted to be able to wear it. As for being busty, I know a lot of other mers that have large breasts. Although I don't know a thing about that personally... they seem to swim just fine! 😊✨

    • @kariechaos5382
      @kariechaos5382 6 лет назад

      I feel that, Eloise, I'm heavier too and I love mermaiding videos but I would not look nearly as good in a tail simply because I'm the wrong size, it seems. So we'd both be busted looking mermaids. Not that I imagine you would look that bad (its the internet, everyone is invisible at the mo).

    • @EloiseRaeCullen
