As part of the Oriental Trading skeleton squad, I was given the skeleton mermaid and encouraged to do anything I wanted with her.

This is what she looked like when I got her:

She definitely had that spooky gray look but I wanted to give her a mermaid makeover and bring out her true mermaid beauty.

She needed color, a little pizzaz! A bit of mermaid make-up and style.

So I bought 3 cans of spray paint an heirloom white, a purple glitter, and a turquoise glitter.

 

After spraying the whole mermaid skeleton with the heirloom white I went to town with the glitter paints. I decided to make the tail mostly purple and her ribs turquoise. I also painted her eyes green so they’d sparkle.

I did spray some turquoise on the end of the tail to emphasize the pretty ripples.

And of course, all mermaids need a little bling, so I raided my girls’ jewelry stash and outfitted my mermaid with a few necklaces, rings and bracelets.

For her hair, I used some fiberoptic light up hair strands and secured them with a bandana.


I wanted her to sparkle in the night.

I’m sure there are lots more options that you can think of for a mermaid skeleton makeover. Wigs, shells, coconut bra, and leis would all work great.

I couldn’t help but take a selfie with her.
