Easy fish with egg cups and cardboard

Hello everybody! In today's craft we are going to make a easy fish with egg cups and cardboard. It is perfect to do with the little ones of the house in a little while of an afternoon to be entertained. They can also be personalized to taste.

Do you want to see how to do it?

Materials that we will need to make our fish

  • A hole in the cardboard of an egg carton. Or as many holes as fish we want to make.
  • Cardboard of the color that we like, with it we will make details such as the fins of the fish.
  • Crafts eyes. If you don't have it, they can be made with two cardboard circles, one white and one smaller black for the pupil.
  • Hot silicone gun.
  • Marker, tempera or another type of paint that we have and that can be used to paint cardboard. That stick with the color of the chosen card.
  • Pencil
  • Scissors

Hands on craft

You can see how to make this craft step by step in the following video:

  1. The first step is cut out the holes in the egg cup since that will form the body of the fish. We paint with the color we have chosen and paste both parts with hot silicone. We can draw some scales in a darker color than we have painted the cardboard.
  2. We draw and cut two triangular-shaped fins and a tail on the cardboard. We can also cut out the mouth of the fish. We can add lines on the fins to give a more fin feel. There are many options for the shapes of the fins, we can search the internet for the one we like the most.
  3. We glue the fins and the mouth with silicone hot looking for a position that we like. We can stick them on the sides or one above and one below.
  4. Finally we glue our eyes and we do any other detail that occurs to us.

And ready! We already have our fish made.

I hope you cheer up and do this craft.
