With just a plastic bottle or two, you can add a touch of the tropics to your room!
What You Need
- plastic water or soda bottles
- craft glue
- googlye eyes
- a nail
- acrylic paint
- paint brushes
- scissors
- stapler
- fishing line or nylon thread
What You Do
Clean and cut your bottle
Remove the cap and label from an empty, clean bottle. With an adult’s help, cut the bottom off the bottle.- Create a way to hang up your fish
Get an adult to help you punch a hole with a small nail in the top of the “head” of your fish. Poke a long piece of fishing line or nylon thread through the hole and tie a knot on the inside end.
- Shape your fish
Pinch the open end of the bottle so the two sides meet and staple them together in the middle. Cut out fins and a tail shape around the staples, as shown.
- Paint a design on your fish
Paint colorful fish patterns on your bottle. Once the paint has dried, glue on googly eyes. Now hang your fish up. Or make some more and turn them into a mobile!
