A mermaid is half figure, half tail – and the tail is where the design lives. A ribbon banner crosses the design, leaving room to letter a name, a date or a short greeting by hand.

What’s Inside
- Mermaid · With Banner — a single, bold motif
One ready-to-cut design: Mermaid · With Banner. The pack includes the cut-ready file plus a line-art sheet for tracing and colouring. A seated figure with long hair and a tail that splits into a broad fluke. The scales are suggested by a few shallow arcs rather than drawn individually, which keeps the tail easy to cut and clean to read. A ribbon banner crosses the design, leaving room to letter a name, a date or a short greeting by hand.
Three Ways to Use It
1. Cut it with a Cricut or Silhouette
The file is closed-path vector art with no overlapping lines, exactly what cutting software expects. Scale to your cardstock and cut from 80 gsm upward; a fine-point blade handles it cleanly.
2. Cut it by hand
Print at 100%, staple the sheet to a folded square of paper, and cut through both layers. Most people finish in well under half an hour.
3. Trace and colour
The line-art sheet doubles as a colouring and tracing page, a ready-made activity for classroom or family craft time.
Materials
Red cardstock or origami paper (80–160 gsm) · scissors or a craft knife · a printer · double-sided tape. Add a Cricut or Silhouette if you would rather not cut by hand.
Best For
Bathrooms, children’s bedrooms, ocean-themed rooms and storybook displays.
