  👯Toilet Roll Mermaid and her best gal pal, Hula Girl👯 Here’s all you’ll need to make this adorable craft! Materials: Toilet Roll Cores Construction Paper Glue Scissors Markers (Sharpies are best) Glitter Glue Pens (easier to use than loose glitter! and less cleanup!!) Craft Paint Paint Brush First, paint your toilet paper tubes in peach, tan, or brown. (I didn’t have any of those colors, so I mixed together orange, green, and white to create a nice tan color.)

Use your glitter glue pens and Sharpie markers to add the fun details. Notes: To make the hair, I simply cut out a long horizontal piece to make the bangs, and shorter pieces to make strands of hair. I made two tails for the mermaid and waited until the end to decide which one I liked the best. To make the grass skirt, I cut some paper fringe. Curl your construction ...

Materials Needed: Sharpie Markers Scissors Origami Paper Tape    Note: I am an origami newbie, so yes, I use scissors and tape.    But, I still consider this an origami project because we are mostly folding paper to create this mermaid!
