THE DIRECTIONS:
- First things first – fold your white cardstock in half. Straight up the center.
- Next open it back up and squirt a few lines of blue paint squiggles with ON ONE SIDE before closing up the cardstock paper again.
- Once the paper is closed for the second time, gently take your hand and “caress” the paint around inside, so it makes a fun symmetrical “ocean” print design on both sides of the paper {keep in mind – paint might ooze from the sides of the cardstock, so be sure to work in an area that can get dirty!}
- Now you are ready to open it back up to reveal the water design underneath.
- Grab your remaining pieces of cardstock paper, along with the pencil and scissors.
- Trace your hand on the yellow paper.
- Trim out the design. This will become your fish.
- Glue the cutout to the center of your paint splat design.
- Add a small “heart” lip shape, along with the googly eye.
- Once finished, add any other embellishments you like.
- Then set aside to let it dry completely, before displaying proudly!
