1. |
Draw and cut a big circle on construction paper, roughly about 1 foot in diameter.
Use a sponge brush to paint the circle blue. The sponge creates a great underwater effect. |
 |
|
If you don't have a sponge brush, you can use a kitchen sponge or bath sponge. |
 |
 2. |
Slice potato into wedge-shaped sticks. |
 |
3. |
To make colorful seaweed and corals, dip the base of a potato wedge on poster paint and stamp long chains of triangles starting from the bottom of the circle going upwards. |
 |
4. |
Make a porthole frame by drawing a circle on craft foam. The frame should be as big as, or slightly larger than your painted circle. |
 |
5. |
Draw a smaller circle inside the first one. |
|
 |
6. |
Cut the circle including the inner circle so that you come up with a round frame. |
 |
7. |
Cut smaller craft foam circles and glue these around the frame. |
 |
8. |
Glue the circular frame on top of your painted circle. |
 |
9. |
To make the fishes, cut triangles from craft foam. For each fish, cut a big triangle for the body, 2 smaller triangles for the fins, and 1 triangle for the tail. Put the triangle parts together by gluing the fins and tail on the body. |
 |
10. |
Flip the fishes over so that the glued parts are at the back. |
 |
11. |
Glue the fishes onto your underwater scene. |
 |
12. |
Finger paint the fishes's eyes and mouth. You can make some bubbles too! |
 |
13. |
Continue finger painting designs on your fishes or you may try using the wooden tip of a paint brush to make the finer details.
When you're happy with your underwater scene, set the picture aside to dry. |
 |
14. |
Your porthole can give your room a nice underwater view! |
