Pattern for 3-D fish

10 strips for the body, 1/4 inch, 5 strips for each half of the body

A part of a strip 1/4 inch wide to wrap around the 2 parts of the glued body, and a 3 mm one to put over that, to make the fish more colorful.

2 8 inch strips for middle fin

2 8 inch strips for bottom fins

a 4 inch strip for the top fin in the back, and a 6 inch one for the front

Eyes are a 2 inch strip and 1 inch strip glued together

For back fins, the upper most and lower most part consists of a 2 inch strip, and the middle two 1 inch strip

Lips are 2 1 inch strips. Don't be afraid to leave holes on them!

My recomendations:

If you want your fish to be multi-colored like mine, use 1 1/2 strips for each color, and glue each color every other one in 3 inch sections, then make a long chain and roll.

Also, my fish are made using pearlized strips, which I suggest!

If you want a girl fish like I made, then take a very short black strip and use small scissors to cut 4 slits on it, and glue behind the eyes, cut as necessary.


Do you not understand a part of the directions or how to make a part of the fish? Then just ask me!
