How We Made the Ocean fish Wreath
You are going to see the steps we
Step One: Dot Marker the Paper Plate
You can use any mix of the colors of the blue dot markers to color the wreath. It is super simple to do.
You can see we used a paper under the wreath to protect the table from the dot markers.
After you finish dot markering the paper plate then set it aside to dry. Dot markers dry really fast.
Step Two: Color the Paper
You use the oil pastels to color on the cardstock. You can use any color you want. You can mix colors or do different variations of the colors.
Step Three: Punch Out the Fish
Then you use the fish punch to punch out the fish. This is fun and kids have a great time making their own unique fish.
Alternate Punching out of the Fish
If you have older kids you can have them color the paper and then turn the punch upside down. You can see the cardstock and the punch. Doing it upside down lets you see the colors and where they will be on the fish.
You can see how the punch turned out with the fun color mix on the fish. This is super fun to get just the right placement of the fish punch.
Step Four: Glue the Fish on the Wreath
After you have all your fish made you glue the fish on the wreath. You can mix the different types of fix or do just one type of fish.
This is how they want to make the ocean wreath. You can give them the items and suggestions on how they can make it but let them have fun with it.
Step Five: Add Bubbles to the Wreath
After you have all the fish on the wreath, then add bubbles.
We used silver glitter paper and a hole punch and a small circle punch to make the bubbles.
