This kitty cat mermaid is super adorable and is sure to bring a smile to anyone’s face! If you have sequins, you could add a few to the tail to make shiny mermaid scales.

To make this kitty mermaid, we will start at the head and work our way down to the body and tail. The head, body, and tail, are all made in one continuous piece. After this, we will create the ears, arms, waist, tail fins, hair piece, and nose. Let’s get started!
