1Punch a hole on the bowl.

Punch a small hole at the center of a paper bowl using the point of a pencil.

2Paint the paper bowl.

Paint the outside of the paper bowl with tempera or poster paint. Jellyfishes come in various colors. The most popular ones are pink, blue and purple but you can always paint your jellyfish the way you like.

3Paint some details.

Details like dots are easy and fun to make. You can use a paint brush, your fingers, or a cotton swab to paint them on your paper bowl.

Some jellyfishes have stripes, others have V-shaped markings and some have a flower-shaped marking at the center.

4Prepare the string.

Cut string to a length of about 10 inches. Tie one end of the string to a paper clip or button.

5Attach the string.

Insert the free end of the string from inside the paper bowl, through the center hole. Pull all the way through—the paper clip or button serves as a stopper.

If you'd like to further secure the string in place, tape or glue the paper clip or button on the inside of the paper bowl.

6Create the tentacles.

To make the jellyfish's tentacles, cut eight or more long strips out of crepe paper, tissue paper or plastic bags.

7Glue the first tentacle.

Glue one end of a tentacle on the inside of your paper bowl, placing it close to the center of the bowl.

8Glue the rest of the tentacles.

Glue the tentacles one at a time at the center of your paper bowl.

9Check out your jellyfish!

Once the glue dries, check out your jellyfish by carefully turning the paper bowl upside down. Hold or hang your jellyfish by the string.

10Add a face.

Don't forget to draw a funny face using crayons, markers or paint.

Instead of drawing the face, you can also glue a pair of wiggle eyes and a short length of string for the mouth.
