Funky Fish
Time:25 min
Difficulty:Easy
Ever wondered about used toilet paper rolls? Crafting with them is both fun and good for the planet! Heard of upcycling? Upcycling turns them into cool creations like a fin-tastic fish?!
Here’s what you need:
- A toilet paper roll
- Acrylic Paint
- Scissors
- Craft foam or colorful paper
Tip: Upcycle an old piece of paper or newspaper instead of using a new sheet - Glue
- A marker
Here’s how you make it:
Step 1: Your fish are going to need fins and a tail! Cut little triangles from your foam/paper.
TIP: You can spice things up by cutting a cool wavy design into the tail.
Step 2: Let’s put your fish together! Glue the fins and tail to your toilet paper roll.
Step 3: Time to paint your fish! What kind of pattern do you want to give it? Does it have a white belly? Is it a clownfish, a whale, a shark, or another type of sparkly fish?
Step 4: Once the body paint is dry, your fish are going to need eyes! Finish everything off by drawing on eyes, and even a smile! There you have it! A funky fish!
