Arisha's Inspiration Corner
A little blog to share crafts, recipes and ideas with you x
This is such a fun craft to do with your little ones. Who doesn't love mermaids! They are really easy, and the creative possibilities are endless! My daughter and I made these together for a mermaid project she was doing , and they have been played with a lot since then, along with a basket of shells we keep on the shelf.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED: - wooden dolly pegs (You can get these at your local hard ware store or on ebay) - acrylic paints -Thick card board (for the tails) - skin coloured paper (for the arms) - wool roving (for the hair) - glitter -hot glue gun or pva glue WHAT TO DO: - Cut out the pointed heart shaped tail shapes from the thick cardboard and slide them into place in the bottom of the dolly pegs - Now paint the skin and tails of your mermaids and glitter liberally - Once the paint is dry, paint on the face details, and bikini shells or tops - Now cut out arm shapes and carefully glue onto the back of the peg - Take a long chunk of wool roving and glue to the head. - Leave to dry
