Mermaid Necklaces

I saw this idea on Pinterest and thought it would be a good way to use up some of the sea shells that I bought for ocean week over the summer. And this long weekend my nieces came up to visit so it was a chance to use up even more.

These came together pretty quickly and the girls had a blast.
We started by gluing a blue flat marble with some E6000 (I used the heavy duty glue) to the shell, pinning the ends of the necklace cord (we used an elastic cord) under the marble.

Then I let them use Mod Podge to adhere the glitter- which they did, a lot!

Here's a few shots of my K girl wearing them- my nieces left before I got a shot of them:

The original idea was a lot less glitter and a subtle sheen behind the marble, but you know kids, especially little girls, and their love of all things glitter.

That's all for now,
Jo!
