Instructions
Paint a large piece of bubble wrap with shades of blue paint.
Turn the bubble wrap over and place it onto white paper.
Press firmly all over the bubble wrap.
Pull up the bubble wrap.
Allow the paint to dry completely.
Download the seahorse template and print out.
Cut the template out. Trace the seahorse onto coloured cardstock and cut out. Cut a large white circle and a smaller black circle.
Fold the seahorse in half and cut slits into the middle of the seahorse.
Leave at least a half of an inch all the way around to avoid tearing the paper.
Cut strips of coloured cardstock. (use a colour different from the seahorse. (try using bold prints or textured cardstock)
Weave the coloured cardstock strips in and out of the seahorse.
Secure the ends with a bit of glue.
Use scissors to cut off any excess paper hanging over the sides.
Glue the eye together and then glue them onto the seahorse.
Glue the back fins and side fins onto the seahorse.
Use a black marker to add a smile to the fish and detail to the side fin.
Glue the seahorse onto the bubble wrap print background.
Your seahorse is finished!
