their natural food sources. I have been making gorgeous crowns and headdresses for over five years. All of
my wares are handmade, durable, and swimmable. I love what I do and helping
dreams come true. I make custom orders to match your mersona as well. My
selection includes something for all ages. I started with two little crowns and have
grown Enchanted Mermaid Designs into what it is today. I do what I do because I
believe “Every queen deserves a crown.” Seeing the smiles I put on faces is just an
indescribable feeling; there is nothing any better.
