Make a Chesapeake Mermaid Tail for youR Doll
I’ve been asked about mermaid dolls because we have a small one at our shows as a prop. We put together this video to help you make one of your own. Download the step-by-step instructions with templates for FREE and get started making your own Chesapeake Mermaid doll to go with your storybook.
*Note: Since making this video, we’ve decided it wasn’t the best idea. Glitter is a problem for our environment. We used chunky glitter because it’s easier to keep contained. Please keep your glitter tidy and think twice about glitter crafts in the future. Thank you.”

Holland island now resides beneath the waves of the Chesapeake Bay allowing us to discuss erosion and sea level rise and what can and can’t be done to change things. You can create a bit of Effie Lee’s world with our FREE prop pack. Included are templates and instructions for your own spooky campfire.
