Of my seven children, only one daughter is blonde (the Dutch genes really came through this one). So when that movie Splash came out many years ago, she was convinced she was actually a mermaid. She would have loved all the projects listed in the article especially the mermaid crown. She could have used that as part of her Halloween costume that year!

My grand daughter is fascinated with any thing that has to do with mermaids. When I saw this I just knew it was a sign to me. I saw a bunch of things I want to make for her. I can give her some now and save some for Christmas!
