Made my boyfriend a mermaid pendant for Christmas!
It was surprisingly cheap! I probably spent less than 20 bucks in total. I saw other people just finding shells and painting them blue but I was worried that would shatter easily so I made this out of oven bake clay. I found some sparkly blue acrylic shades to get the blue to be shimmery instead of flat. I already owned the beads and the wire, so my only other purchase was the actual necklace string bit. I know the beads don’t match as well as they could have, but yellow is his favorite color and I wanted to personalize it :)
