How to Make a Mermaid Bookmark (with Printable Templates)
You can never have too bookmarks — and this DIY mermaid bookmark is absolutely adorable.
The printable template includes the instructions (written in first person by the mermaid, who I’ve named “Pearl”), so kids can make this bookmark with little to no assistance.
All you need is the template, a glue stick, scissors, and any optional things like glitter or Mod-Podge to make Pearl extra fancy.
