Seahorse Craft Supplies:
* Mini or Large Cupcake Liners {any color you like – one per seahorse}
* Various Colors of Cardstock Paper
* Glue Stick
* Small Wiggle Eyes
* Sharpie Markers
optional materials – glitter, rhinestones, etc. to give it that personalized look!
Directions:
* First take your cupcake liner {one per seahorse} and flatten it out. Typically you can get TWO cupcake liner seahorses on ONE piece of paper.
* Next have children fold them in half to create the bodies and glue down {in various spots} onto a single sheet of cardstock. This step may take some extra effort but it’s super easy for kids to do.
* Once the cupcake liners are down, grab your cardstock and scissors.
* Go ahead and cut out a head, tail and fin to give your seahorse a one-of-a-kind look!
* To finish off – glue those cardstock pieces in place to complete each seahorse.
* Then add other embellishments you see fit and display proudly!
