The sisters have visited Japan, and Anna has become quite inspired after seeing many motifs with koi fish. As she is hanging this fish in the dear little ones' room, Clara entertains the nieces and nephew with stories from the trip.
Download and print the template. Cut out the template and collect the fish. Cut out the fin.
Fold the brown gift wrapping paper so it fits the width of the fish. Draw up the fish and cut it out.
Using a sewing machine, sew along the sides of the fish. Here, Anna has sewn with zig zag stitches to create a contrast. You can also glue the sides together.
Mark the fish's markings from the template with a needle onto the gift wrapping paper, so they can be transferred to the fish by pencil. "You can also draw the details freely by hand," Anna says. Add the markings by the fish's mouth, so you can glue the metal ring in here later on.
Paint the fish as you please. If you want to, you can add glitter to it as well using regular glue.
Measure how far there is from one side of the mouth to the other with the metal wire. Duplicate this and mould the wire to a ring. Twist more metal wire around the ring, so the ring becomes stronger.
Cut notches in the markings by the fish's mouth. Place the metal ring by the beginning of the notches, and glue the ring to the inside of the mouth with a glue gun.
Use a large needle to sew glitter string to each side of the fish's mouth. Now, you can hang the fish.
