Are you ready for today’s puffer fishing trip?

We really like this fish. It’s a super silly fish, right?

When threatened, it will inflate and grow three times its size.

Puffer fish look like bubbles when inflated.

Some people even keep them as pets in aquariums.

The puffer fish is one of the most poisonous creatures in the world.

But the fish we will make today are completely harmless and cute.

And did you know they smile?

And when they smile, they show their teeth.

They only have four teeth. How funny!

Come on guys, let’s cook fish right away!

How to make paper puffer fish crafts

What you need:

• round hole punching machine
• colored paper
• drag
• glue
• black pencil
• 2 split pins
• round plate (diameter 15cm)
• 5 cotton swabs (if you have a smaller round dish, use fewer cotton swabs)

Step by step instructions

Take two sheets of colored paper, place the round plate on top and mark two full circles with a black marker.

Cut out the circles.

Punch out a series of circles using a circle punch.

Cut through each circle and stop in the middle as shown in the illustration.

Apply a little glue to one edge and form a spike.

Set the spikes aside to dry.

Punch out a circle and glue it together to form an eye.

Draw eyes with black eyeliner.

Glue the spikes to the yellow circle.

Use black eyeliner to draw spots on the body.

Draw the fish’s mouth.

Apply some glue to the velvet strips and stick them to the body, then braid them.

Take the remaining circle and glue it to the opposite side.

Draw the tail and fin shapes as shown in the picture, then cut them out.

Draw lines on the tail and fins.

Use split pins to attach them to the body.

Use a black marker to draw the entire puffer fish.

Done!

Now you can move the tail and fins.

Plus, you can make this fish sway all day long.
