MERMAID DIY: SEA TREASURE NECKLACES

  

We teamed up with Olivia, the mama behind Life with Liv and Viv, to bring you the most adorable mermaid-theme DIY. These Sea Treasure Necklaces are such a fun way to keep little ones busy during these hot summer months. 

  

  

Shrinky Dinks Paper

Trimmings

Hole Punch

Paint + Brush

Glitter

Sharpie

Baking Sheet

Parchment Paper

Scissors

Cookie Cutter or Stencil

  

Preheat oven to 325 degrees

  

Trace design onto paper (pro tip: use a gold metallic sharpie so if it shows, it's a pretty color!)

  

  

Paint your design and let it dry completely 

  

Add glitter! 

  

  

Once the design is dry, cut it out leaving a 1/4 inch clear border 

  

Punch a hole at the top of the design for the string of the necklace

  

Line baking sheet with parchment paper and place designs on the sheet. No touching!

  

Bake for 3 minutes

  

Remove baking sheet from oven and immediately press each design with a paper towel to ensure they lay flat

  

Let cool

  

String up all of your pretties for your little mermaid!
