Egg Carton Fish
Time:30 min
Difficulty:Medium
You betta believe we’ve got a great way to upcycle you old egg cartons! Here’s how you can turn them into your very own ex-squid-sit fish friends!
Here’s what you need:
- An egg carton
- Scissors
- Glue
- Paint
- Craft foam or colorful paper
TIP: If you don’t have either of these, you can paint some cardboard or scrap paper instead!
Here’s how you make it:
Step 1: Cut three cups out of your egg carton for each fish you want to make.
Step 2: Glue the rim of two cups together to create your fish’s body.
Step 3: Now your fish needs a tail! Give it one by gluing the bottom of a cup to the bottom of its body.
TIP: You can spice things up by cutting a cool design into the tail.
Step 4: Time to paint your fish! What kind of pattern do you want to give it? Don’t forget to give it eyes!
Step 5: Once the paint is dry, you’ll need to add your fish’s fins! Cut little triangles from your foam/paper and glue them to the top, bottom, and sides of your fish.

AMAZING
I might make Nemo.
I may make fluttery the fish.
It looks so cool, maybe I’ll try it later tonight
Fun cool and easy. This project has it all.
Can anyone think of a way that you could put the fish in water?
Maybe you change the material? I don’t know
