What Your Child Makes

The Mermaid Jewelry Box Kit is a complete DIY craft kit for girls ages 6 and up. Kids paint a real wooden box in two shades of sparkly mermaid color, then decorate it with over 530 crystals, half pearls, natural sea shells, and a ceramic sea star. Everything needed is in the box, including the glue and the step-by-step instructions.

A Keepsake She Designs Herself

Kids mix and place every piece themselves, so no two finished boxes look alike. That is the point: the box your child opens on a rainy afternoon is the box she will still be keeping bracelets in three years later.

Love mermaids? Pair it with our Mermaid Charm Jewelry Kit so she can make bracelets to keep inside the box. You can also browse the full Mermaid Collection.

Designed & tested with love in the USA

Why Families Love the Mermaid Jewelry Box Kit

A real craft, not a sticker sheet. Kids paint, place, and glue every piece

Natural sea shells and a ceramic sea star, not plastic imitations

530+ pieces means there is plenty left over to decorate again

A finished box that actually gets used for rings, hair clips, and small treasures

Screen-free focus time that kids ask for, instead of being asked to do

More than a craft: A confidence-building experience

Builds fine motor control through placing hundreds of small pieces

Teaches patience, because the paint has to dry before the decorating begins

Encourages independent design choices with no single "right" result

Creates lasting pride in something she made and still uses

Real smiles. Real creativity. Real connection.

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!

Any girl would love this!!

My daughter absolutely loved customizing her own box! It came with so many extra shells and more than enough glue, paint, glitter, etc! It also came with two cute rings!

Fun family activity

This was such a fun activity for the whole family. We all came together and created the most dazzling, mermaid jewelry box kit. The kit arrived with every tool needed to get the project done, which was super helpful. Love it

My girls love it!!

My girls think it's so awesome and fun!!!

So cute!!! And so easy!!

This was a fun craft to do together!

My daughter and I had so much fun making this mermaid jewelry box together. It comes with everything you need and an endless supply of shells and gems. This is such a fun way for kids to express their creativity! I highly recommend this craft kit!

My daughter loved it!

My daughter was so happy to make her mermaid box! Thank you pinwheelscraft!

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!

Great Mommy and Me Time

This was a great project. With no school due to the storm. This was a great kid friendly project. Everything you need comes with the kit. Love it.

Great diy jewelry box!!

My 11 year old had so much fun with this! The kit comes with everything you need - such a great way for them to express their creativity. 10/10 for me!

Questions parents ask

What's included in the Mermaid Jewelry Box Kit?

Everything your child needs: a wooden jewelry box, 2 colors of sparkly paint, a paint brush, 300+ pearls, 200+ crystals, 30+ assorted sea shells, a ceramic sea star, glitter, glue, and step-by-step instructions. You do not need to buy anything else.

What ages is it best for?

It is designed for ages 6 and up, and most 6- to 12-year-olds can complete it independently. Parents regularly tell us younger children enjoy it too, working alongside an adult who handles the glue.

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, including limits on lead and phthalates. The paint, glue, and glitter in this kit also conform to ASTM D-4236, the US standard for art materials, so the formulations have been reviewed by a toxicologist for chronic health hazards. The kit is rated for ages 6 and up and contains small pieces, so we recommend keeping it away from children under 3.

How long does it take?

About an hour of active crafting. Because the paint needs to dry before decorating begins, most families split it across two sittings or a single afternoon, which many parents find is the best part.

Is this messy?

It is a real craft, so yes, a little. There is paint, glue, and glitter. We would suggest a covered table and an old t-shirt. In exchange you get a keepsake that actually looks handmade, rather than stickers on a box.

How is this different from a stick-on gem jewelry box kit?

Most jewelry box kits use adhesive gems and stickers. This one uses real paint your child mixes and applies, plus natural sea shells and a ceramic sea star. It takes longer, and it is a genuine craft project. That is why the finished box feels like something she made rather than something she assembled.

Does it make a good gift?

It is one of our most-gifted kits, for birthdays, Christmas, and Easter baskets. It arrives ready to wrap, and because it takes real time to make, it keeps working as a gift long after it is opened.

What can kids do with the finished box?

It is a working jewelry box with a hinged lid and clasp, sized right for rings, earrings, bracelets, hair clips, and small keepsakes. Plenty of kids use theirs as a treasure box for things that are not jewelry at all.
