Directions to make the Toilet Paper Roll Fish Craft

Take a toilet paper roll and press it flat.

Next, using a pencil, draw lines on one side at 45 degrees to form a sharp end for the fish head.

Next, mark two triangles before the fin. Using scissors, cut along the marked lines. (Refer to the Picture here or the Video above for Clarity)

Retain one of the triangles as we will be using this for the fins. Discard the rest.

Paint the Toilet paper roll with two contrasting colours for the body and the tail. Painting on one side is sufficient.

Now, paint the triangle cut-out with the same colour as the tail. Leave the roll to dry and then paste it on the Roll.

Meanwhile, download the free eye template and cut out the eyes. The page has many eye cut-outs that can be easily used for other toilet paper craft projects on our website.

After the roll is completely dry, Stick the eyes in place with glue. Finally, Add a smile using a marker.
