***This giveaway has ended. Winners will be announced soon.***
Last week when I shared my porch makeover, a few of you asked about the mermaid bottle opener that was sitting on the coffee table. Well, earlier this year when I was in California I picked it up at one of the shops I visited. It was the perfect combination of vintage, whimsy, and glam. Who wouldn’t love a weathered mermaid with a gold tail?
Once I got home, I did some research and found the mermaid bottle openers on eBay. I bought a set and figured I could also make some of my own. I thought they would make a cute gift or party favor.
OUR LATEST VIDEOS
Normally, this is when I get myself in trouble. After I get an idea and buy everything I need, the materials sit around forever. This time, though, your questions spurred me to complete the project in only three months.
As a way to thank you, I’ve decided to give away five of these Mermaid Bottle Openers that I made! I know. This is like the best giveaway ever. Don’t freak out.
But, before we get to the giveaway, let me show you how to make them. I almost hate to call this a DIY because it’s painfully simple. Nonetheless, I did it myself, so it’s a DIY.
If you want to create some of these at home you will need:
Mermaid bottle openers
Gold liquid gilding
Paint brush
I used this gold liquid gilding. It goes on nicely and seems pretty durable. However, if gold isn’t your thing, you could paint these any color you love.
Using a paint brush, apply the liquid gilding to the mermaid tail. I first dabbed some of the paint off the brush onto a piece of paper. I wanted the gold on the tail to look a bit distressed and worn.
Then just allow the paint to dry, and your project is complete. It’s really that easy.
Isn’t the mermaid opener the perfect little bar cart accessory? I thought so too!
Now let’s get to the giveaway! As I mentioned above, I have five of these bottle openers that I will be sending to five lucky winners.
We are going to keep this super simple. TO ENTER TO WIN, leave a comment below telling me your favorite summertime beverage.
That’s it!
This giveaway is available to readers worldwide. You must be 18 or older to win. Void where prohibited. This giveaway will end on Friday, July 3, 2015 at 11:59 pm EDT. Winners will be randomly selected and then notified by email. Winners will also be announced at the top of this post.
May the odds be ever in your favor.
I hope you enjoyed this fun little DIY. Have a happy week.
An ice cold bottled beer or a grapefruit basil martini
Malibu Bay Breeze!
I love this! After having a stroke in Jan. my Husband and I decided life is too short. So we decided to go for our dream and are building a house on the South Carolina coast this would be perfect!

MICHAEL! I love your blog. I have been following you on pinterest and instagram for a couple of years now. I definitely think we would be BFFs if we ever met. 🙂
Anyway. Summer beverage. This is a HUGE hit at any party.
White Peach Sangria – I mix 4 parts crisp white wine, 1 part peach or apricot brandy (apricot is easier to find and equally delicious), 1/2 part simple syrup (equal parts water and sugar) and 4 parts seltzer water. Garnish with sliced peaches and raspberries. You could add any fruit you like! My mom always served this in a large bowl with a ladle but I have a huge mason jar dispenser from Pier1 that makes it even cuter. It’s always a hit.
Love you and LOVE the mermaid idea!
Lisa

Cucumber Cilantro Cooler – The fresh taste of cucumber offsets the spicy cilantro for a cocktail that pops. Add ½ cup chopped cucumber (seeds removed) to a cocktail shaker along with a large handful of cilantro leaves. Muddle well, and then add 2 ounces vodka, the juice of one lime, ¾ ounce simple syrup and ice almost to fill the shaker. Shake well for twenty seconds and then strain into a lowball glass filled with ice. Garnish with a wheel of cucumber and a sprig of cilantro.
My absolute favorite summertime beverage Is an Angry Orchard Rosy Cooler!

A good Whiskey Smash on a hot summer day is unbeatable. These kinds of DIYs are my favorite, by the way, it looks like a “craft” I would actually be capable of completing!
Pink Catawba from Foxburg Wine Cellar in Foxburg, PA. It’s advertised as “Ladies Choice”, but my big, strong husband loves it also! We stock up every time we visit our cabin.
As much as I do like cocktails, for summer it’s the classics that are my favorite. Cold lemonade, Arnold Palmers, and my most favorite is a Shirley Temple. Not so much because of the drink but because, when I’m enjoying a ST it means I’m in the company of my favorite little niece and we’re having one of our girly- girl parties and talking about things that only her and I talk about. Even though she’s getting older, and I’m sure the ST will eventually evolve into an adult drink,I will always associate her with it.
Fingers crossed I can bring the mermaid opener home!
My favorite summertime beverage… well, I would have to go with old school Lipton iced tea. You know, the powdered mix that is just so satisfying! Mine has to be super sweet, almost to point of shuddering! lol. I don’t drink it often but when I do it brings back a flood of idyllic childhood memories. =)
Love the mermaid. Strawberry lemon slushy. Yum!!!
Oh, I just have to win this for my friend! She has a business called, Happy Mermaid Images. It would be perfect for her! My favorite drink is red wine. Sipping it on the back patio watching the sunset is the best.
