Cut the skeleton mermaids off of the skeleton mermaid string lights and paint them gold using spray paint or gold acrylic paint. Paint the unfinished wood treasures boxes with blue acrylic paint and allow both pieces to completely dry.

Hot glue a sea rock to the treasure box and then hot glue the mermaid onto the sea rock. The sea rock will act as an anchor to the mermaid since the mermaid doesn't attach easily to the treasure box by itself.
