Plastic Spoon Mermaid Doll - finished doll with glitter glue details on the tail This is a cute little spoon doll that your child can bring as a companionship toy on a walk, on car rides, to the park/restaurant/friend, or family's house. This is small, lightweight, and will be entertainment for your child.

My daughter is currently in a mermaid phase, so I thought this would be cute/fun project to make. Sure enough, it's her current favorite toy!

Total Time: 15 minutes

Supplies:

plastic spoon
pipe cleaner
yarn
hot glue
felt
ribbon
glitter glue
Sharpie
goggly eyes

Steps:

Wrap pipe cleaner around center of spoon handle. You can apply a couple of drops of hot glue on the top and bottom to secure in place.
