Hi Crafty Friends!
Today I’m back with another free printable for all of you! This project is a super fun one to do with your creative kids! I hope that you (and they) like it!
I’ve always been a girly girl. I love sparkles, rainbows, unicorns and other mythical creatures. I even wrote a book called Caticorn Crafts… so you know I have fun making magical DIYs!
I also love the water. My zodiac sign is Cancer, and I’m truly happiest near the beach. I don’t care if it’s a lake, ocean, river or pond (in a pinch)… just make sure that I’m never more than 20 minutes away from a body of water.
Mermaids are kind of the perfect marriage between my love of the water, and love for all things glittery and rainbow– And a mermaid craft project… well that’s just a marriage made in heaven!
This Sparkle Mermaid Bookmark project is super fun to make. You can make it as simple or as bedazzled as you would like! If you want, this project can be as simple as printing, cutting and gluing it together! Or you can add a bit of bling and customize it by adding glitter paint, glitter mod podge– heck you could even add sequins and gemstones!
