Putting on Little Mermaid Jr. in April and it's been harder than it should be to get waves made. Does anyone have waves they used for this production that I could borrow/buy/take off your hands? Or if you have tips on where you got fabric, that would be helpful as well. Working on other set pieces and props but open to looking at those if you have them. Thanks!

Most cities have discount fabric shops. I'd recommend looking at one of these before going to a chain store. It can be the difference between $3 a yard and $6 a yard. ​

We used China silk from Rose Brand.

They send color swatches promptly .we used three different colors as they do on the logo.. 

We used kids  on each end making waves and storm.

we found some super pretty fabric at walmart and hobby lobby! We used different color blues (they were also sheer) and it looked great on stage!
