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.

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?

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.

A young girl with long brown hair sits at a wooden table, wearing a purple t-shirt with pink lettering. She is holding a small orange and white bottle over a pink box, surrounded by craft supplies like beads and paint bottles.

Perfect for birthdays, holidays, or just because
