Today’s Popsicle Stick Mermaid Tails Kid Craft idea is PERFECT for the summer lovin’ girls in your life!

Popsicle sticks are fairly easy to find, inexpensive and even come in fun colors & different shapes/sizes. After playing around with my own popsicle stick stash {joys of moving soon!} I instantly pictured these beautiful mermaid tails made out of some jumbo popsicle sticks. Best part? All ages of children {and even adults} can customize them however they like, with supplies you probably already have on hand {score!}

So without further ado – inspire young creative minds and encourage some fun family time with our small-scale mermaid project today! Happy crafting my friends!!!

Supplies:

* Jumbo Popsicle Sticks {3 per mermaid tail}
* School Glue
* Green Glitter Cardstock
* Green Craft Paint
* Gold Glitter Glue
* Paint Brush
* Scissors
optional – more glitter, rhinestones etc.

Directions:

* First grab three popsicle sticks {three per mermaid tail} and glue them together to look like a triangle. Set aside to let it dry completely. Repeat.
* While those are drying, grab your green glitter cardstock and cut a triangular shape that will be placed within the popsicle stick design and be the tail. At this time, you should also cut out two fins to complete the mermaid tail.
* To finish off the Popsicle Stick Mermaid Tail – have children paint their popsicle stick design completely green, as well as gluing the paper pieces and any other embellishments you see fit {I did some gold glitter glue for some sparkly fins} Once done, set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!
