DIY Paper Fish Crafts
I recently realised, that I have quite a few DIY Paper Fish Crafts!!! And as per usual, when I realise that I have many of “One craft”, I like to bring them all together in a Paper Craft Fish Collection for you to be able to browse at your leisure. Today’s fish are indeed all Paper Crafts. Paper is so readily available and yet so very versatile, that I thought it would be great to share them all in one go!! These are fabulous Paper Fish Decorations. There may be a sneaky Paper Whale or two at the bottom of the post! Forgive me for sneaking in some Mammals!
The paper fish DIYs shared today are fantastic for any fish decor projects. Paper is inexpensive and so verastile. For the majority of the fish crafts shared here today.. simply purchase a pack of colorful rainbow paper from the craft store, grab some scissors, glue sticks and markers.. and off you go.. super simple supplies to make some fabulous Paper Fish Decor and Crafts! Often all you need is simply some paper scraps. I think you will have much fun with these fun activity ideas.
