How to paint paper plate fish

Step 1
Start with some plain white paper plates. Fleur’s are 26cm in diameter.

Step 2
Use scissors to cut out fish shapes from 7 of the paper plates, such as the mouth and fins.

Step 3
Use the 2 leftover plates to cut out the tails. Fleur found that cutting the plates into quarters was a good start for the tail shape. Cut the tail into the final shape you want and attach it to the fish body with a hot glue gun.

Step 4
Paint the fish using testpot paints and small craft paintbrushes. Fleur copied tropical fish pictures from the internet or you could choose to make up your own fish designs. Fleur left the white areas unpainted.

Step 5
Fold 7 paper muffin/cupcake cups into quarters and paint these for the fins.

Step 6
Use hot glue to attach the fins to the fish.

Step 7
Attach the fish to the wall with blue tack.
