How to Make a DIY Mermaid Towel Wrap
This towel is suited to fit a child up to age 10.
What you’ll need:
- A beach towel
- Two rubber bands
- Decorative fabric ribbon – at least ¾” wide
- VELCRO® Brand Sticky Back for Fabric Tape
Step 1: To start, let’s create the fin! Gather one of the towel’s short ends from one corner to the center.
Then tie with a rubber band.
Fluff the towel, so it looks like a fin.
Repeat with the other corner to form the full mermaid tail.
Step 2: Using the ribbon, cover the rubber bands with a decorative bow
Step 3: Next, on the opposite edge, attach 4″ of VELCRO® Brand Sticky Back for Fabric tape to the corner of the towel.
Step 4: Apply the corresponding tape to the opposite side.
For a better fit, wrap the towel around your kid before applying the tape.
And That’s it! Have your kids wear this towel to the pool, beach, or lake. We promise this DIY mermaid towel wrap will make a real splash!
