How to make a cute merfairy or mermaid to hang on your bag, phone or anywhere else. Makes a great gift!

Get the template for the mermaid at this great dollmaking website:
Runo's Dollmaker

She's Jap (I think) but her site is English.

I'll be making a separate instructable on the making of the wings =).

Step 1 Cutting out the doll.

Using the template, cut on the pieces of the mermaid. I used
a beige cloth I bought from Spotlight just for making dolls. Any non-stretch materials should work and you can also use jersey cloth (T-Shirt material) for the doll (Which is recommended by Runo).

I used the baby mermaid patterns for my doll.

Thanks =). You can try making your own mermaid. Just go to the Runo Doll Link on the first instruction page!

Cute, looks like baby mermaid. I would add a tiny bit of batting so she could be a grown up lady (on top). Also could use sewing machine if used to doing tiny dolls. Very nice.
