Learn how to make a fish trap, a fishing game, and a candy goldfish for a gift or a beautifully decorated treat. In the USSR, a fish day was established, which was Thursday. Therefore, it is not a sin to devote a review to this waterfowl, to tell how to catch an inhabitant of the seabed if there is no fishing rod at hand. It will be interesting for children to compete in fishing if they make a thematic game together with adults. And to reinforce your strength before the competition, you can eat a goldfish made from sweets. Let's start with this sweet presentation.
Candy goldfish: 2 workshops
To craft such a shiny and tasty fish, you will need:
- chocolate medals in the form of money;
- organza;
- corrugated paper;
- glue;
- a stand, for example, a tray of a flower pot;
- Styrofoam;
- toothpicks;
- tapes;
- beads;
- glue;
- Scotch;
- scissors;
- gold wrapping paper;
- stationery knife;
- colored ribbon for bouquets.
Cut out an oval-shaped fish body from the foam, sharpen this figure a little with a knife on one side and on the other. Wrap it with gold paper so that it does not unfold, glue the edges with tape.
Use the same duct tape to attach the toothpicks to the medals. Stepping back from the face of the fish, begin to fix these elements in the form of scales on its body.
Cut three identical blanks from foam, fold them in a stack, wrap with corrugated paper. Place this stand on a pallet.
From organza, cut out blanks for the dorsal and two lateral fins. Gather them, attach with toothpicks between the coins.
Make a hairstyle from ribbons for bouquets so that the candy goldfish is very cute. From paper of different colors, make her eyes, mouth, eyelashes, glue these parts of the face.
From ribbons for dressing bouquets, make a lush tail for a sea beauty, from gold paper, make her crown. Such a wonderful Goldfish is obtained at the end of the work.
You can decorate the stand with tinsel or round candies to which the skewers are attached. You will learn more about this in the second master class.
Let's make just such a fish.
Before starting this tutorial, prepare:
- 26 candies "Golden Lily";
- 12 candies "Creamo";
- 5 candies AVK "Diadem";
- white and red organza;
- crepe paper in blue, pink, blue, bright pink;
- foam plastic 20 mm thick;
- thin pink mesh;
- gold cardboard A5;
- transparent film with polka dots;
- white stones;
- gold beads;
- copper thread;
- toothpicks;
- skewers.
The photo clearly shows the stages of creating a goldfish. See how you need to make the base on which we will attach it.
Cut 4 oval blanks from the foam. The first two have a size of 22 × 15 cm, the third 19 × 12 cm, and the fourth 15 × 10 cm.
These parts need to be glued as shown in the photo.
Tape all the sides, top of this base with blue crepe paper. Additionally, you need to cut a 5 × 55 cm strip from blue crepe, and stretch them from blue crepe 8 × 55 cm. It is necessary to arrange the sidewalls of the base with such ruffles.
Attach the "Creamo" sweets here with the help of skewers.
We will decorate the base with anemones flowers. To do this, from a pink thin mesh and crepe paper, cut out 5 rectangles, the dimensions of which are 9 × 7, 5 cm. Cut these blanks to a height of 5 cm, connect them in pairs.
Tape the toothpicks to the candies, then wrap these sweet pieces in mesh and crepe paper.
To make the legs of flowers from sweets, cut 2 bars with a cross section of 2 cm, 10 cm long from polystyrene; and one of the same thickness, 15 cm long. Smooth the corners of these blanks with sandpaper, insert a flower into each.
Wrap a strip of pink crepe around the stems, secure with tape.
Cut an oval blank for the body of the fish from the foam, sharpen it on both sides. Make a semicircle with a radius of 8 cm out of gold paper, fold it in a cone, glue it along the edges. Put this blank on the sharp part of the fish, secure with tape.
To make the scales, you need to connect the "Golden Lily" candies with a copper thread for the "tails". You will need circles of them, consisting of 2, 6, 8 candies. We begin to shape the fish from the tail. Attach one candy here with tape on one side and the other. For the second row, glue 2 candies each. A ring of 6 will be the third row.
After that, there is a blank made of 8 sweets, then one in which there are 6 of them.
Let's start styling the tail and fins. To do this, take a pink mesh and a red organza, cut out strips of the following size from them:
- For a tail 1 × 15 cm, 20 pink and 10 red.
- For lateral fins 1 × 10 cm, 4 pink and 2 red.
- For the lower and upper fins, the same size, color and the same as for the side ones.
All these elements need to be alternated in color, fixed on the goldfish with toothpicks. We fasten the tail details with skewers.
Cut a crown out of gold cardboard, glue beads to it. Roll up the red organza strip to make the fish lips. Using black and white cardboard, make eyes, eyelashes, attach these elements to the face.
Fix the candy fish on the base using three skewers, which are pre-wrapped with strips of blue crepe. From it, you need to cut out two waves, and from the blue a third. Wrap the skewers with these elements.
Make an ornament from copper wire and gold beads, decorate your work with it. Glue the stones to the base to make the marine motif more pronounced.
This is what a wonderful candy goldfish will turn out to be.
Fishing for kids after creating a fish-themed craft
Children have refreshed themselves with a sweet gift, now with renewed vigor they can take up creativity. Help them make a DIY game to keep the fish theme going.
To do this, you need:
- felt of different colors;
- sticks for each player;
- twine, which will become a fishing line;
- large metal clips;
- scissors;
- magnetic circles;
- a pen;
- toys for the eyes or white and black cardboard, or an embroidery needle and thread;
- fish pattern.
Attach the template to the felt, draw with a pen, cut out.
To create the inhabitants of the seabed, you can make not only fish, but also frogs, skates, octopuses. To make it more fun, cut out a shoe from the fabric, a tin can, which will also fall on the hook. For each character, you need to determine how many points to give for his capture in order to know who won. You can install it on an object-by-subject basis. At the end of the game, each child will count how many fish and other marine life he has caught. Shoes and cans usually do not bring points, as these items clog up water bodies. Cut out fish according to a template, glue toy eyes or cardboard circles to each, or embroider them. Place large paper clips on these characters.
How to make a fishing rod? Cut 2 rounds out of the felt. Tie one end of the rope to a wooden stick, pass the other between two fabric blanks, tie a knot. Place the magnet inside and sew the edges of the round felt pieces.
If the child is small and plays without companions, then put the marine life on a blue felt rug, let him catch it with a fishing rod. But make sure that he does not tear off small objects and do not harm himself with them!
If the children are a little older, then it is more expedient to make a semblance of an aquarium so that they, for the time being, do not see who is caught on the hook and this was a surprise for them. Find out more about this design right now.
The fishing theme continues with the second master class on creating the game "Fishing". Children will make figurines for her from salt dough. If any gets lost or broken over time, it will be easy to replace with a new one. Look at the list of items that will be needed, these are:
- salty dough;
- cardboard box;
- invisible hairpins;
- acrylic paints;
- glue;
- White paper;
- fishing rod with a magnet at the end.
Make a fishing rod using the previous master class or tie a tape to the end of the stick, attach a strong magnet to the other edge with a glue gun. Children are happy to sculpt from salt dough. Show how to create a wide variety of creatures of the deep sea using different tricks. So, they will make the tentacles of a jellyfish by passing the dough through a garlic press. The upper part of the body consists of a thin round cake, the edges of which must be folded. Attach the invisibility to the top. Let the guys sculpt other characters, and hairpins will also be fixed on top of each one.
To give the toys strength, turn on the oven, heat it to 80 °. Place the marine life on a baking sheet lined with glassine, and dry the crafts at this temperature for an hour. They will become durable. When cool, help the child to give them the desired shades with acrylic paints.
Cover the cardboard box with sheets of white paper, from the blue you need to make sea waves. Let the child show imagination, cut out the elements of the sun from yellow paper, glue them, the boat outside the box.
After making the game with your own hands it turned out, you can start the competition, in which everyone present, without exception, will want to participate.
How to make a top with your own hands?
Children are interested in playing fishing, and adults are really interested in catching edible inhabitants of the seabed. If you don't have a fishing rod at hand, or you have one, but you don't want to sit on the shore for a long time, waiting for a bite, then see how to make the top.
If you are satisfied with this option, then prepare:
- large plastic bottle;
- knife;
- wire;
- plastic cylinder.
It is better to cut off the neck of the bottle so that not only small fish, but also large fish get there. Cut this piece to the shoulders, match it with the main body of the bottle. Use a knife or an awl to make holes at the top. Pass a wire here to connect these parts on both sides and be able to carry the top with such a handle. For weighting, you can put a plastic cylinder filled with sand, or put several stones on the bottom of the structure beforehand so that the fish trap is not on the surface, but in the water. But it's better to place it horizontally.
Make holes in the fixture with a knife. Install it in a pond, after a while you can collect the catch. In order for the fish to look there by all means, put the bait in the form of slices of white bread.
For larger fish, take two containers, cut off the neck at one, and the bottom at the other. Now the one that is turned over without a bottom, put it in the first. The structure is fastened with wire or rope, holes are made in it, a few stones are put inside.
The fish trap can be made of various materials. For this, even a metal net is adapted, and craftsmen weave special devices, which are called muzzles.
You can learn about how a goldfish from sweets looks like not only from the article, but also from a video review specially prepared for you.
How to make a top with your own hands from plastic bottles will demonstrate the second plot. Timofey Bazhenov will talk about this.
