Of all the “kid crafts” available on the internet these days, I hope you like this one the most!

Keep scrolling to see how I made these “All The Fish In The Sea” cards and recreate them for yourself!

All The Fish In The Sea – Paper Card Craft Idea For Father’s Day

This latest handmade card idea from Glued To My Crafts is perfect for Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, Grandparent’s Day – WHEW! Honestly it can be used for whenever and for whomever you think needs a little pick-me-up!

With our “of all the fish in the sea” themed card printable that you will find below, we have laid out most of the work for you. All you will need to do is decorate the outlined fish in your own custom way, cut out each section and then add them to simple cardstock cards. That’s it! And although I added what I call “confetti paper scales” and wiggle eyes to mine, you don’t necessarily need to. Just like a regular coloring page, these fish can look any way you like!

So what are you waiting for?! All the details are listed below and we hope we inspired you with this quirky fish themed kid craft. Remember – our “You Are The Only One For Me” idea is also great for a large setting too! Think church, camps, summer play-dates etc! Just separate the sections before hand and have each kid make one card at a time.

Happy crafting, my friends! A HUGE shout out and thanks to LisaMarkleSparkles for the fish graphic I used in today’s freebie! #gluedtomycrafts

PAIR YOUR PAPER FISH CARD CRAFT WITH —> Daddy’s Sea of Love – Father’s Day Keepsake Printable

All The Fish In The Sea Craft Supplies:

* Free Fish In The Sea Card Printable
* 8″x11.5″ White Cardstock
* Color Printer
* Paper Trimmer {affiliate link}
* Purple Elmer’s Glue Stick {affiliate link}
* Crayons, Markers, Colored Pencils
* Colored Cardstock
* Single Hole Punch {affiliate link}
* Small Bowl or Dish
* Small Wiggle Eyes

Directions:

* First download the link listed above in the supply list.
* Print the fish card template on white cardstock. One printable makes FOUR fish cards at a time. Please only use our file for personal use.
* Use a paper trimmer to trim out each section and make FOUR cards total.
* Adhere each cut out piece to a single card front, you make by folding cardstock paper in half.
* Next grab your choice of coloring medium. Color in each fish design, however you like.
* Now grab some colored paper and the single hole punch.
* Go ahead and hole punch a good amount of “circles” that will later be your fish scales. You only need about 20-30 paper punches per card. A good tip is to do the hole punching over a small bowl, to keep the paper circles contained till you need them.
* Next up, grab your purple glue stick and make a thick line of glue inside the body of each fish. I like the purple glue stick for this step because you can see where you are placing down the adhesive but it later dries clear.
* Working pretty fast, you are going to want to sprinkle, dump and rub your paper hole punches where you just put glue down, to make the “scales” on the fish.
* Try to make as many of the paper circles stick on the card but if they don’t, just shake off the excess & discard them.
* When ready, glue on a simple wiggle eye on top of the original one in the card printable, for each card.
* Add other embellishments you see fit.
* Finally, write a sweet message inside and gift each card piece away to someone special!

MAKE IT YOUR OWN TODAY!

• Instead of using paper hole punches like I did in today’s kid craft tutorial, you can also dip your finger or a clean qtip into various shades of craft paint and then make “dotted scales” on the fish instead. Repeat until you have that desired look, in a different craft medium! Super fun!!!
• You can also bring out the watercolors and black glue for this craft. Just “paint” the fish with the watercolors and follow it up by “lining” the design with Elmer’s Black Glue {affiliate link.} It’s similar to our Black Glue Smores Friend tutorial.
