Instructions to make the mermaid bookmarks

DIY Mermaid Hug Bookmarks

Step 1

Select different colored crafts papers to make the mermaid patterns for the bookmark. Select cardstock paper to make the base of the bookmark. Print and cut out the template patterns. Trace the base pattern on the cardstock paper and the rest of the patterns on the selected colored crafts papers. Cut out the traced patterns nicely.

Step 2

Take the upper body pattern of the mermaid and attach it with the base, making sure to level the straight side of the mermaid’s head with the base end. Do not glue the hands of the mermaid with the base, keep them free.

Take the rectangular pattern and place it under the hands; pushing it all the way to the closed end and then apply glue to secure its placement. Then,  attach the hair and the star cut out on the mermaid.

Use a black sharpie to draw the face details. I did a freehand drawing of the mermaid’s eyes, nose, and lips.
