Picture Frame Shark Mouth Craft Idea

I originally intended this post to go live during Shark Week but ya know… life happens. So forgive me BUT I hope you still take advantage of this post {maybe even bookmarking or pinning it for next year when #sharkweek comes around again!}

It’s still a great idea for the shark fans in your home or just a summer themed craft to make today.

So whether you use this idea at home OR in a classroom setting, we hope the free shark mouth template {found below} comes in handy for you! Just grab the freebie below, print it out, add your child’s picture in the “mouth” picture frame and add some cardstock paper pieces to complete the custom DIY. Then display as is, place in a frame or keep it safely in a scrapbook.

Find the FREE shark mouth picture frame template below! I just know you are going to have a blast on this one!

PAIR YOUR PICTURE FRAME SHARK CRAFT WITH —> Paper Plate Shark Car

This shark mouth picture frame is a great kid craft idea that is perfect for shark week or any time of year! Includes a free printable template to get you started.

Craft Supplies:

Free Shark Mouth Frame Printable Template {grab it on box.com}
White Cardstock Paper
Color Printer
Craft Scissors
Adhesive like tape, glue stick
Your Child’s Picture {a 5×7 print size is perfect!}

Directions:

First things first – print out the free paper shark mouth file above. Just print it in color on a single sheet of white cardstock paper. You only need one print per shark craft.
Next, using scissors, trim out the shark design, as well as the inside of the shark’s mouth for the placement of the picture. Don’t discard that white excess paper just yet!
Now grab your child’s picture. Trim it down so it fits inside the shark mouth frame. Adhere it to the back of the printable with tape or a glue stick.
Next – grab a sheet of dark blue cardstock. Adhere your newly made shark design to the center of the paper.
Grab another sheet of lighter blue cardstock and cut out some “waves” for the bottom of the craft. Adhere it to the printable as well.
Now grab the white excess paper from the original printable. Cut out several small triangular shapes for the shark’s teeth. Adhere those in place where the picture is.
Finally and the last step for this Paper Shark Mouth craft, glue the large wiggle eyes on place, on the side of the shark design.
