How to make shark paper crafts

What you need:

• printable template (optional)
• pencil
• drag
• glue
• White paper
• colored paper (light green, blue and red)
• orange cover
• ruler
• two big round eyes
• compass

Let’s start!

Step-by-step instructions

Draw a circle with a diameter of 16 cm on orange cardboard.

Cut out the circle with your scissors.

Draw two rectangles measuring 6 x 12 cm on blue paper.

Cut them out.

Form two rolls (one a little wider than the other) and seal their ends with glue.

See how one roll is wider than the other?

Glue the blue rolls onto the orange circle in a “T” shape.

The blue horizontal scroll is the wider scroll, which is our shark’s head.

Draw an ellipse on light blue paper and cut it out.

Stick it on the shark’s body.

Fold a piece of blue paper in half and draw a fin on it.

Cut out the fins and make a crease at the bottom of them.

Apply a little glue to the folded parts and glue the fins on the shark’s body – to the sides.

Draw a tail on another piece of blue paper and cut it out.

Stick it to the bottom part of the shark’s body.

Draw another fin on blue paper.

Use scissors to cut it out and make a small crease at the bottom.

Apply a little glue to the folded part and stick this fin on the shark’s head.

Stick the googly eyes on your head too.

Draw a freehand rectangle with rounded edges on a piece of red paper.

Cut it out. This will be the shark’s mouth.

Draw the mouth on a white piece of paper.

Draw two rows of shark teeth on white paper – inside a free-form rectangle with rounded edges.

Cut the teeth out.

Glue them inside the red mouth, then glue the toothed mouth onto the shark’s head.

All has been done!
