Diy Mermaid Tail Bookmark

"Craft projects help children develop healthy self-esteem, increase creativity, and develop fine motor skills. With this Mermaid Bookmark Tail template your child can design and create their very own Mermaid Tail Bookmark using basic craft supplies such as the bookmark template, colored paper, sequins, craft glue, pencil, and scissors. Your child can make their own personal Mermaid Tail Bookmark, designing it with custom colors, sequins, beads, and anything else they can imagine. They will have so much fun they may want to make more than one."

Materials List
- Colored paper
- Sequins
- Craft Glue
- Pencil
- Scissors
- Mermaid Tale Bookmark Template
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.
