Kidnapped Mermaid Costume

Step 7Put it all together

Put it all together
To keep the pirate's hand and hook on the treasure chest, attach a small piece of velcro to his hand. As glue wouln't hold the velcro to the fake hand, we sewed it on with a large curved upholstery needle and thick thread.

Glue the opposite piece of velcro onto the side of the treasure chest.

To keep the hook in place make a small incision in the side of the chest that it can slip into.

The pirate's hat can be glue to his head if pins won't keep it in place.

If necessary, cut the bottom of the pirate pants. Our mermaid is only 5'6" so she wore 6" platform boots to give the pirate a more credible height. To help cover the boots we cut slits in the bottom of the pants and then trimmed them so she wouldn't trip on them.
