Jellyfish are some of the most fascinating inhabitants of the ocean. They come in many shapes and sizes and many colors. And while we may not be thrilled to encounter them in the ocean, we are absolutely thrilled to encounter them in a craft project.

This craft involves coloring and collage, so it’s a fun project to improve cutting skills.

Look how fun and colorful these cute creatures look.

How to make crafts with jellyfish scissors

What you need:

  • our printable templates
  • white construction paper and colored pencils or paper in various colors
  • drag
  • glue

Step by step instructions

Print out the template. We printed the head on white paper and the tentacles on colored paper. You can print them all on colored paper or print both on white paper and color them. For the head, we recommend printing on construction paper/cardboard while the tentacles work best on regular paper.

Color the jellyfish head. There are many colors you can choose for this part. We are making a pink jellyfish.

Cut off the tentacles.

Cut along the dotted line between each tentacle.

Apply glue to the rectangle with the word glue inside.

Place the jellyfish head on top of the tentacles.

Start rolling the tentacles – you can use a pencil or marker to make this easier.

Start at the bottom and roll up, stopping at different lengths.

Our jellyfish are growing well.

Everything is done and ready to use as decoration.

Now you can do as much as you want.
