Learn how to make these adorable mermaid favor tags using the print then cut feature on your Cricut!

I love crafting for birthday parties. It’s so fun to create something completely custom that matches a fun party theme. Paper crafting with my Cricut is what I do most often. It’s easy, fun, and inexpensive!

Two bottles of bubbles with mermaid favor tags tied on with purple ribbon.

I made these mermaid favor tags for my daughter’s Little Mermaid themed birthday party. I used the Cricut print then cut feature on white cardstock with purple ribbon. The bubbles were from Dollar Tree, so overall, it was not an expensive project. And I’m so glad to not be handing out a bag full of candy or plastic trinkets. 

Don’t have a Cricut? You can order similar mermaid favor tags on Etsy!

Materials needed for mermaid favor tags

  • 3 sheets white cardstock
  • Printer
  • Cricut machine (I used the Cricut Maker)
  • Hole punch
  • Purple ribbon
  • 24 bubble bottles

  10. Click on Text in the left-side menu and type “Thanks for making my party a splash”.
  11. Change the font to Janda Happy Day. If you don’t have that font, you can download it for free on dafont.com.

  13. Change the font color and mermaid tail to the color purple.

  17. Place the white cardstock inside your printer and select Print when prompted.
  18. Transfer the printed card stock to a Cricut mat.

  22. Remove cut ovals from Cricut mat.
  23. Punch a hole in the top of each oval.
