Inspired by some neat designs on Etsy, I constructed my own Mermaid Towel. Combining two plush bath towels and some grosgrain ribbon resulted in a towel that really works for beach, pool or bath and also can be worn for dress up. My little mermaid loved running around on the hardwood floors this morning watching her tail flow out behind her. She even put her 'lovey' on as a seaweed hat.
Quick, easy, useful, fun and stylish. I love making these as gifts for baby showers. This time, I splurged and used one of the lovely Amy Butler prints I'd been hoarding. I just hadn't used it yet in a clothing item and was too sad to see it sit lonely on the shelf any longer. I love the shades of green in particular and the Art Nouveau design motif.
