You Will Need (5 things)

  • Bead(s) (for eye)
  • Embroidery Thread
  • Sewing Thread
  • Fabric Paint
  • Ric-Rack Ribbon

Steps (6 steps, 10 minutes)

  1. 1

    Take a small piece of white Ric-Rack ribbon and paint with regular fabric paint. I choose blue and yellow for contrast.

  2. 2

    After the paint has dried, fix it with a hot iron.

  3. 3

    Fold the ribbon in half, so that the white (unpainted) side is facing out, and add a few small stitches (according to the red line in the picture - I only did them with red thread to show the contrast for the picture).

  4. 4

    Then open the Ric-Rack ribbon, so that the colored side faces out, press it down and stitch on a small eye.

  5. 5

    I then sewed small fin like stitches on to the ribbon.

  6. 6

    You can add an eye with a bead or do any other stitches for fin. You can even stitch on another tail.
