Bright and nimble waterfowl attract all children, so they will definitely like the voluminous application "Fish in the Aquarium". But the fish themselves in this work are quite complex. Therefore, if the children are small, it is better to make simple multi-colored fish in flat view. You also do not need to make a very small aquarium, since small fish in this technique are quite problematic to make, especially for children.

Work materials

• White cardboard;
• Colored paper in blue or blue, as well as green, red, pink, yellow;
• Glue stick, scissors, simple pencil, black felt-tip pen.

Stages of creating a three-dimensional application "Fish in an aquarium"

How to make an aquarium out of paper?

Draw a round aquarium on a white piece of cardboard and cut it out. Do not make it very small, because small bulky fish are very difficult to make.

Put the aquarium to the blue paper, circle it. And then draw a parallel inner line next to it, as the water should follow the outline of the aquarium, but be a little smaller. Draw a wavy line at the top. Cut out the water.

Fill the aquarium with it, that is, glue the blue paper to the white cardboard blank.

What is an aquarium without algae? Cut out simple wavy stems from green paper. Also cut out circles from white paper. different sizes that will be air bubbles.

Glue the details, now the aquarium is completely ready to receive its inhabitants. At this stage, kids can cut out very simple fish, but older children can be advised to make voluminous fish.

How to make a voluminous fish out of paper?

You will need a small square of paper. Its size depends on the size of the aquarium. Put your square in the created aquarium, does it look normal, does it not occupy the entire area of ​​​​the aquarium, will two more fish fit there, or at least one more? If the answer is yes, we continue to make a fish.

Fold the square in half, corner to corner, to make a triangle.

Open the double paper.

Where there is a sharper angle, make cuts, not reaching the edge by about a third. You should get 6 thin strips.

Arm yourself with a glue stick and start folding the strips one on top of the other, securing them with glue. First, connect two strips, and glue at the intersection, then two more, well, the last two should converge on top. In the process, try not to lose sight of the tail, with the right cross direction, it should be a fluffy bun, and not just layering.

At the last stage of creation voluminous fish, draw one eye on her with a felt-tip pen, add strokes to the tail.

The green fish was an example, and for the aquarium I made three bright fish - pink, yellow and red.

It's time to put the fish in the aquarium by gluing them in the tail area. This is how a cute application of a fish in an aquarium turned out.

If desired, a strip of white cardboard can be glued on the back so that the aquarium is, as it should be, in an upright position.
