Part 2 of 2:
Making the Jellyfish
-
Place the paper plate on a flat surface to start to decorate.
-
Cut a curve. Use your scissors to cut the middle of the paper plate in a curve pattern.
-
Begin to paint the jellyfish on the style that you want to create.
-
4Add the face to the jellyfish using paint or other materials.
-
5Let the paint dry. The time it takes will depend on the type of paint used for the body of the jellyfish.
-
Start working on the stingers of the jellyfish. While the paint for the body is drying, you can start on the stingers.
- Get the construction paper and begin to cut the paper in 1/2 inch wide pieces. You can make them as long as you'd like the stingers to be. You will need 8 pieces.
- Using two colors for the construction will need 4 pieces of each color.
- If you are using string, ignore the next step and move ahead.
-
Fold 4 of the pieces of construction paper to create a pattern.
- Fold the paper up one inch from the bottom every time until you get to the top of the paper.
- You can place multiple pieces of construction paper on top of each other to make it faster.
-
Attach the stingers. Take your paper plate and turn it over to the side without any paint. Tape the stingers to the back, in the pattern that you would like.
-
Complete. You have finished the paper plate jellyfish! Congratulations! Now you can decorate it more if you want.Advertisement
