 | DIY Coral ReefThings you’ll need: Large cardboard/wood surface – lined with wax paper Wood dowels Can of spray foam Spray paint What you do: Place wood dowel on wax paper and secure with tape. Use spray foam to create organic free flowing motions that resemble coral. Note: Foam will expand so don’t spray too much in one area. Let dry overnight. Carefully peel off wax paper. Then spray paint. | |

| Lantern Jellyfish, fish netting, starfish, seahorses and shells – great decoration. | Seaweed (cut out cardboard, paste dark green crete paper, scrunch light green crepe paper and paste) | Shower Cap Jelly Fish – cheap, clear shower cap and ribbon tentacles. Hung with fishing line. |

| Aquarium centerpiece with goldfish. Can double as favor or game prize. mermaid baby shower | Gorgeous tablecloth with chair sash. Love the fabric scallops! | No mermaid party would be complete without the bubbles! It is amazing what can be done with balloons and a little imagination! |

| Paint or stain shells and starfish to add color to your tables. | Hang fish netting. Embellish with real or paper sea creatures and shells. | Make a balloon canopy for your party with fish netting. Dangle pom poms and sea creatures. |

| Fish scale wall – use a mixture of craft papers, including some glittered. Scallop the bottoms and fit them all together to create a wall or backdrop. | Floating candles. Use glass pillars and put aquarium rocks in the bottom, then add your decoration. Fill with water and add a floating candle. | Use fish nets and starfish as table decorations. |

| Puzzle guest book idea. Have the guests sign the back of a puzzle (in this case of the Little Mermaid). Put the puzzle together and glue.
