After printing our Mermaid Free Printable Template on white paper, proceed to fill in hair, skin, and top in whatever color you choose with sharpie markers or metallic pens. I’m really loving this set of metallic pens and have been using them in as many crafts as possible. For our Cardboard Roll Mermaids you will also need acrylic paints, scissors, hot glue, and possibly, clear tape.
