Create an underwater world with these cheerful fish, crafted from Powertex, Stryofoam and paperdeco. Make different types and faces for a fun effect and grow your very own shoal of underwater friends. Use the fish to decorate a nursery or a themed party!
1
Take a Stryofoam ball with a 12 or 15cm diameter. Cut a piece of Powertex paperdeco to size, large enough to cover the ball.
2
Spread the transparent Powertex over the ball and cover it in the sheet of paperdeco. Cover the paperdeco in Powertex again.
3
Pin the paper down on one side using eye pins to start sculpting the tail.
4
Cut out two small pieces of paperdeco and cover them in Powertex. This will form the fins.
5
We will make the eye sockets using two little pieces of paperdeco. Cover these in the Powertex too, and stick the googly eyes below them.
6
Use the same technique to sculpt the mouth.
7
To make spines, thread beads onto eye pins. Stick these into the fish as you see fit.
8
Cut a piece of hemp cord and pin it to the top of the fish with an eye pin. Secure it down well with Powertex.
9
Once everything is thoroughly dry, you can hang the fish from the cord.
