Gather you materials and make a loop in your wire for the jump ring. *tip: I usually wrap my wire around my Pliars twice so that the loop is not too thin.
Twist the “tail” of the wire around the longer piece so that the loop doesn’t come undone. After that you can start to form the tail
Shape the top to be either rounded or creased/ square like.
Bend like so a bit away from the loop
Make a few more bends. (Lol it looks like pac man!)
Bend it over and wrap the wire like so. Also now is a good time to make sure the fins look like fins and not pac man
Now go back to the top and wrap the wire in the shape you want. Trim off the excess
Now it’s time to paint it! Take breaks between applying the nail polish so that the nail poilsh can dry and collect/clump together to form the scaly part of the tail. Once that’s done, apply a coat with scale like glitter and wait for that to dry. After that last bit is dry, modpodge it, wait til it drys and then your done
