Technique:
Using the plain paper, stencils, paints and
sponge, apply patterns all over the entire surface. Make as many pages as you
want to make into fish.
Fold
the paper in half the long way, with the color inside.On the white outer paper, sketch in a fish shape with the pencil. Don’t worry-it doesn’t have to be perfect-keep it simple!
Open up the fish and put the pattern on the outside. Draw eyes and nostrils on both sides. Stencil on any words or other designs as you wish.
Begin stapling (or sewing) all around the fish, keeping a portion of the top open so you can stuff it with crumpled up paper. Any will do, but thin wrapping paper or deli paper works great for these. Use your finger or pencil eraser end to push the paper into place if needed.
Once stuffed, close up the opening with more staples or the rest of your yarn.
Punch a hole in the top of each fish and string them together with ribbon. You could also create a mobile with these or hang them individually.
Happy
fishing! Did you make this project? If so, I would love to see it!
