Refreshing old ornaments with air-dry clay, mica powder and my secret sauce: Mermaid Trash!

Don’t throw your ugly, worn or broken ornaments away! I have a box of ornaments leftover from 2023 that just need a little bit of help to make them shine again. Air dry clay, mica powder and Mermaid Trash to the rescue!

I am also thinking of offering Mermaid Trash for sale in my Etsy shop. What do you think?
