I embellished a mermaid for my niece's up coming 4th birthday. She adores mermaids & anything related to swimming. So when I found this wooden mermaid, I knew it would be a perfect addition to help celebrate her birthday. You can find the complete tutorial HERE on the Robin's Nest Blog. Let's dive in!
By embellishing the mermaid's tail with non-beveled gems called Dew Drops, I created jeweled scales which gave the project a lovely texture. The rich colors & sheen was created by applying the transparent Dew Drops over metallic paint which intensified the colors.
