Cardboard Koi Fish

  • Step 1Choose a cardboard roll size you wish to decorate. We used the middle size.
  • Step 2Cut a piece of crepe streamer about 15 - 20cm long. Wrap around the top of your cardboard roll. Attach with glue.
  • Step 3To create scales for your Koi fish cover sections of your cardboard roll with PVA glue. Place individual confetti pieces over the glue overlapping each piece slightly. Continue this process along the cardboard roll until the entire roll is decorated.
  • Step 4Cut oval shapes out of black cover paper and glue these to the top of the koi fish to make eyes.
  • Step 5Cut three different coloured pieces of crepe streamers (20cm long). Fold these in half and glue to the inside of the bottom of the cardboard roll.
  • Step 6Cut a piece of metallic yarn (20cm long) and tape the loose ends to the inside top of the cardboard roll. Hang your Koi fish around the classroom for a bright display!
