To continue on with the mermaid party crafting theme, I’ve poured on the top of a wooden treasure chest. This will be the base for the table centerpiece for my baby girl’s first birthday party!
I was in Michaels looking for things to complete the mermaid party theme, and I stumbled upon this awesome wood treasure chest. But it was just plain wood, so I added a little mermaid to it by pouring on the top and staining the rest, and now it’s just what I had in mind!
