While sewing, crochet and knitting are some of the crafts that first come to mind when it comes to the creation of clothing and accessories, this unique fashion craft kit from Make It Real introduces an alternative means of putting a garment together.
The 'Knots & Bling Mermaid Tail' features pieces of fabric that have been cut in such a way so that they can be knotted with one's hands, rather than stitched together with the help of some sort of tool. After knotting the mermaid tail accessory in all of the necessary places, kids are left with a completed slip-on garment that can be used to warm the legs and feet like a blanket.
To make the mermaid-inspired garment even more their own, kids may also add sequins to the tail.
