PAIR YOUR POPSICLE STICK AND FELT FISH CRAFT WITH —> Felt Pretend Play Popsicles – Kid Craft Idea For Summer

Popsicle Stick Fish Craft Supplies:

• Jumbo Craft Sticks  (three per each fish craft)
• Large Wiggle Eyes {one per fish craft}
• Basic Craft Scissors
• Felt Glue or Glue Gun
• Craft Felt Sheets
• Small Pom Poms

Directions:

* First grab three craft sticks {three per fish} and glue them together to look like a triangle.
* Set aside to let it dry completely.
* Repeat the above steps for each DIY fish craft you want to make today.
* While those are drying, grab your felt and cut a triangular shape that will be placed within the craft stick frame and be the body of the fish.
* At this time, you should also cut out some fins, fish lips and a tail out of the remaining felt.
* Next you will want to glue the felt pieces to the craft stick frame.
* Again, repeat for each piece.
* Now you are ready for the final step – embellishments! Let kids take full control and decorate their DIY fish however they like! We used small pom poms to decorate the fins but you can also use glitter, rhinestones and even buttons to decorate yours!
* Once you are done decorating your DIY fish, set them all aside to let them dry completely before displaying proudly!!!
