Create cheerful, colourful fish with this easy summer craft project. Using acrylic paint, linen cardstock and punches, you can mix bright colours and enjoy creative crafting during the summer holidays.
Take a sheet of linen cardstock and apply a thin layer of acrylic paint in colours you like.
2
Allow the cardstock to dry thoroughly, then punch out three scalloped ovals.
3
Score the ovals lengthwise and fold them in half, with the painted side on the inside.
4
Use double-sided tape to stick the unpainted sides of the ovals together.
5
Punch out a smaller oval from the linen cardstock for the bottom of the fish and attach it with double-sided tape.
6
Punch out two different hearts for the tail. Make a cut from the point to the middle of each heart and slide them over the fish. Secure with a bit of glue.
7
Punch out a small heart for the mouth and attach it to the opposite end in the same way as the tail. Cut a larger heart in half to create the fins and glue them in place.
8
Use a white pen to draw details on the fish, such as playful stripes along its body.
9
Apply Ranger Glossy Accents to give the fish a shiny, wet look.
