What Your Child Makes

The Mermaid Jewelry Box Kit starts with a plain wooden box. Kids paint it in their favorite of the two mermaid colors and let it dry. Then they brush on glue and press on crystals and pearls in any pattern they like, and once that layer has dried, they pile sea shells and the ceramic starfish on top. A sprinkle of glitter finishes the look.

A Place to Store All Their Treasures

After the box sets for 24 hours, it is ready to hold rings, bracelets, hair clips, and anything else worth keeping. Every child places every piece, so no two finished boxes look alike.

Teen & toddler had a blast!

It can be EXTREMELY challenging to find things that both my teenager and toddler will both genuinely enjoy doing together (without the teen just doing it because the toddler wants to) but this fit the bill! They did it together and both had a blast. It was both basic enough and intricate enough that they could work on it together and each have fun creating. It’s now their coveted “treasure box” and has become a vital part of many games. It came with SO much more stuff than I was expecting!

Unique & Fun

This crafting kit is an absolute gem! It’s packed with everything you need to create a truly unique wooden jewelry box. My daughter, who’s turning 5 soon, had an absolute blast with it! She dived right into painting and decorating the box without any issues. I only needed to lend a hand with the glue, but other than that, she was a crafting superstar! It was such a fun experience for both of us!

Amazing

I recently did the mermaid jewelry box craft with my child, and it was a fantastic experience! The kit included vibrant paints and plenty of design options for personalizing the box. My child had so much fun painting and adding their own creative flair. The finished jewelry box is a beautiful, unique piece they are so proud of, and it now holds all their little treasures. It’s a perfect craft for encouraging creativity and spending quality time together. Highly recommend for any crafty kids!

Paint too sheer, had to use our own

She had a ton of fun with this, but we ended up using our own paint because the ones provided are very sheer and you can see the wood through it. Even multiple coats wouldn't have worked. But otherwise it was fun and she loved it!

K
Kristi
A lot of small pieces

I would say this is more for 10-12 yrs old because of all the stuff it includes most of it being really small. The paint that comes with it is very thin and doesn't coat well. The quality is on the lower end and box is pretty small for so much decoration.

Turn a plain wooden box into a seashell masterpiece

The bag of shells are huge and more than you'll need. Especially with glitter, a starfish, beads and other adornments. I wish it had something mermaid with it, but still a fun craft/ project!

Cute for a crafty person

Bought this for my daughter since she loves mermaids, we had to use different paints as the ones that came with it were very very sheer so it would have required a lot of coats, I also bought air dry molding clay to lay under the shells so I didn’t have to use as much glue and it gave it a sandy vibe.. a lot of my shells came broke which was kinda upsetting but I made due with what we had for whole shells wish it came with a pair of tweezers or gem gripper to lay the gems & pearls. We had fun doing this but I think they could upgrade this kit for the price I could have gone to the dollar store to get all the same supplies for half the price. But it is a fun gift for someone who likes crafting.

Makes a beautiful box

The kit included a LOT - a ton of shells, decorations, glitter, the works. There were more shells than we knew what to do with so we can use them for other crafts.The biggest complaint I have is that the paints are bad. They barely make any color and just look like they make the wood wet. We used different paints in finished product (see picture)Would make a fantastic gift and is super fun to create!

Great for your little crafter!

This set is pretty simple . 2 colors , plain shells , glue and a small wooden box. The shells seem to be sticking pretty well . I got this for my 8 year old daughter to do. Highly recommend for the ones that love crafts !!!

Questions parents ask

What's included in the Mermaid Jewelry Box Kit?

A wooden box, 2 colors of paint, a paint brush, 200+ crystals and 300+ pearls in various sizes, 30+ assorted sea shells, decorative jewels, a ceramic starfish, glitter, glue, and step-by-step instructions.

What ages is it best for?

It is recommended for ages 5 and up, and grown-up supervision is recommended. Younger crafters may like a hand with the glue and the smallest crystals.

Is everything in the kit safe for kids?

Yes. Every Pinwheel Crafts kit is CPSIA compliant, which means it meets the US federal safety requirements for children's products, and every gem, paint dollop, and glitter sprinkle is non-toxic. The kit conforms to ASTM D-4236, the US standard for art materials. It contains small pieces, so it is not for children under 3.

How does it come together?

Kids paint the box and let it dry, then glue on the crystals and pearls. Once that layer is dry, they add the sea shells and the ceramic starfish on top. The finished box should set for 24 hours before it is used.

Can it be done in more than one sitting?

Yes, and it works well that way. The paint needs to dry before the decorating begins, and each glued layer dries before the next, so it is natural to come back to it.

Can my child design it their own way?

Yes. Kids choose the paint color and decide where every crystal, pearl, and shell goes, so every finished box is one of a kind.

Does it make a good gift?

Yes. It is a great pick for birthdays and holidays, especially for kids who love mermaids and the beach. The gift keeps going once it is finished, as a place to store their treasures.

What can kids do with the finished box?

It is a working jewelry box with a hinged lid and clasp, sized for rings, earrings, bracelets, hair clips, and small keepsakes. It also works as a treasure box for things that are not jewelry at all.
