WHAT ARE THEY?

Glitter Tailz are shimmering mermaid tails that transform toys into radiant mermaid creations! They re-purpose your child’s existing toys, dolls, and stuffed animals to give them new life and a new look.

Glitter Tailz come in three sizes to fit the most common dolls on the market, as well as a wide array of plush toys. They also include a matching bikini top and iridescent starfish accessory. The starfish has a clip that you can use to decorate your Glitter Tailz, mix and match with other tails, and put in your hair. You can match with your mermaids!

You can play with Glitter Tailz inside, outside, and also take them in water! They’re safe for the bath, pool, and other bodies of water where mermaids may roam.

WHERE DID YOU COME UP WITH THE IDEA?

I walked into my girls’ bedroom to break up an argument. They were fighting over a single mermaid toy. Their room was littered with all kinds of dolls and stuffed animals, and yet they only wanted to play with this one toy. That’s when the light bulb moment happened…

I said to the girls, “what if you could turn any of these other toys into mermaids?” They let out a loud sequel of delight and began to jump around! Then Sadie, my little one, said, “yay we can have them now?!” LOL. I said “no, Daddy will have to make them first.” “Aww I want them now!” she said. That experience resonated so deeply and truly in us that we got started right away.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT - FOR KIDS BY KIDS

My girls immediately started making drawings of mermaid tails. They love making art! Kylie picked the color blue for one of the tails because she thought it would be cool to turn Elsa into a mermaid. We even took a sewing class so that we could start making prototypes! From there we worked on different designs and sizes that would fit most of the dolls that they love.

I try to teach my kids to put all of themselves into whatever they do; to always stay true to themselves and put their best into whatever they’re doing. So that was our goal, how can we make this as awesome as possible? It was during this process that we decided to find the most sparkly and beautiful material that we could find. Glitter Tailz was born!

We later came up with the starfish design, which Kylie decided on, and thought it would be fun to decorate the tails with. The girls love little accessory items like that. I thought back through the years of what the girls really loved most about their toys. I thought of how they absolutely LOVE to match with their dolls. This is where we came up with the idea to have the starfish work as a multipurpose accessory used to decorate your tail, doll, and yourself!

WE NEED YOUR PLEDGE AND SUPPORT!

We need your help sharing this project and raising money so that we’ll be able to begin manufacturing Glitter Tailz immediately. Our factory is on standby waiting for us to tell them to begin production.

I have done this before and learned A LOT following a successful Kickstarter for my invention The Best. Morning. Ever. Mug (aka the Donut Warming Mug). I have SO. MUCH. LOVE. for my Kickstarter backers. That project changed my life! It’s been my full-time job ever since and led me into the joy of creating and developing other new and exciting products.

So I said that to say, with your pledge and support we can deliver Glitter Tailz to you in time for Christmas. If you’ve ever wondered if your little bit of support or pledge actually makes a difference then let me assure you… YES IT DOES! We can’t do this without you! I wish you could feel the gratitude in my heart. Words don’t do justice so I’ll just say a big THANK YOU and WE LOVE YOU!
