Hold it for a few minutes or use a clothes peg or clip to keep it closed. Let it dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Curl each leg upwards by coiling it around a pencil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Paint the octopus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Perforate the black paper to make eyes. Once the paint is dry, stick or draw the eyes on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How to make the Shark<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cut out the basic form of a shark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On card paper, draw and cut out an upper fin and a tail. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Use the scissors to make an opening for the tail and, with the cutter, make slots for the top fin and side gills. Place the fins in their slots. Put a fine line of glue where the fins attach to the slots, and clean off any excess. Fold the top fin and let it dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Once the glue has dried, paint the inside (as far as you can reach) pink, the outside, grey and the teeth, white.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Perforate black paper for the eyes. Stick the eyes on or draw them once the paint has dried.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How to make the Fish<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cut out the mouth of the fish at one end of the toilet roll tube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On the cardboard, draw and cut out pieces for the two side fins, the upper and lower fins and the tail fin. You can use the scissors to cut a zigzagging edge, if you like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Use the craft cutter to make the openings for the fins. Slip the fins into their slots and put a fine line of glue on the part where the fins attach to the slits. Clean off the excess glue and leave it to dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;When the glue has dried, paint the inside (as far as you can reach) a dark pink in colour and the outside in blue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Perforate the black paper for the eyes. Stick the eyes on or draw them once the paint has dried. &nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019ve already visited our blog, you\u2019ll know that one of our favourite materials are recycled toilet roll tubes.
