Instructions
-
Take 2 same-colored paper of two different shades for the mermaid tail base pattern. Then select the cardstock paper for the bookmark base.
-
Now, you need to trace the bookmark base (rectangle) on the cardstock paper. Then trace the mermaid tail shape on the colored paper and inner pattern (includes the scales and stripes) should be traced on the different shades on the paper.
-
Once you traced everything, then you can start cutting. Cut all the traced patterns out.
-
Take the mermaid tail base and attach the scale cut-outs on the mermaid tail base (except the tail part).
-
On the tail part, attach the tail strips cut-outs on the tail part of the mermaid base.
-
Now, we need to attach the top side of the mermaid tail pattern to the bookmark base. The tail pattern can be overlapped one another a little.
-
Apply glue dots in places where you can add the sequins on the mermaid tail. Place the sequins on the glue dots and press them against the dot gently.
-
You can add as many sequins you want as you like on the mermaid base. Allow the glue to dry completely before using the bookmark.
