Easy DIY Mermaid Headphones

Iridescent shells fan out from each ear cup while tiny pearls and rhinestones fill every gap, turning a basic pair of wireless headphones into something that belongs undersea. Charity Grace paints the shells with watercolor-style blues and purples, then builds up layers of texture using E6000 and hot glue. A low-pressure, endlessly customizable project — go classic mermaid or dark siren depending on your mood.
