Glitter Mermaid Tail Craft Supplies:

* Free Mermaid Tail Printable {Download HERE}
* White Cardstock
* Color Printer
* Green Craft Glitter
* Basic School Glue
optional – rhinestones, buttons, small stickers etc.

Directions:

* First download and print the mermaid template printable on white cardstock. You only need ONE print per mermaid craft.
* Now grab your school glue and put a line of glue along the rim and inside of the mermaid tail.
* Then let children go WILD as they shake the green glitter on top of the glue until it’s completely covered.
* Now if desired – add other embellishments you see fit before setting it aside, shaking off the excess glitter and displaying proudly!!!

BTW – an extra special thank you to DailyArtHub for allowing me to use their awesome mermaid graphic in today’s blog post!
