It’s no secret that the mermaid party is one of the most
magical party themes ever dreamt up.
Mermaids have of course been around far longer than Ariel, and, as sweet as
she is, it's wonderful when parents throw a mermaid party that
has no bold cartoon-colours in sight!
One very lucky little lady in the United Kingdom had a “Vintage Mermaid and Faded Pirate” themed-party recently to celebrate her 4th birthday. Her super clever mother showed that classy-craft really can be made yourself; her labor of love (surely many hours long!) reveals multiple ideas, any one of which is worth borrowing.
Filled with the soft pastel shades of driftwood, sand, seafoam, and blue-sky, the party is filled with hand made treasures, and included several ideas she credits Partycraft Secrets for inspiring as well as printouts from our Mermaid printpaper and party ebook including; a shark-fin prop, seaweed crepe-paper canopy, printable food flags, and a costume mermaid tail which was ingeneously used as a party game. (As always, you can click on the image to enlarge it in order to see the details.)

As I say in my story ‘about’ Partycraft Secrets; the absolute best thing that has come out of blogging has been the opportunity to celebrate the crafty-successes of my readers – so to you, Crafty Mum Estelle; well done!
