DIY Silicone Mermaid Tail Tutorial #5 - Updated Monofin (Handmade)

2020 UPDATE!!! PLEASE READ THIS!
Hi all I love my old mermaid making videos but the monofin part makes me cringe lol
I keep the videos up to show the whole process but I RECOMMEND BUYING A MONOFIN for your tail. This was made years ago in a small town in Poland and there was no monofins available for under $100 which was a fortune for me!
I found a great extra cheap monofin that is perfect for beginners but super sturdy. I've been using it for over a year and taught others how to swim with it along the way.

If you want to make a monofin like this you'll need:
- pretty stiff foam board
-old snow slide
- isolating tape
-water shoes
Just follow the instructions from this video or go to my other monofin tutorial:
