Cellophane Jellyfish

These slippery looking jellyfish are the perfect way to create your own underwater world indoors! Simply hang them from the roof and you can pretend you're swimming in the deep blue sea.

  • Step 1Cut your paper plate in half. Adult supervision is recommended when using scissors. Create a wavy edge as you cut the plate. This will become the body of your jellyfish.
  • Step 2Cut up different colours of cellophane into small squares.
  • Step 3Paint a thin layer of PVA glue over the body of your jellyfish. While the glue is still tacky, cover the body with the small squares of cellophane. Allow to dry.
  • Step 4Cut long strips of cellophane to create tentacles for your jellyfish. Attach to the body with glue.
  • Step 5You may like to twist the cellophane strips into sections to make your jellyfish tentacles look bubbly.
  • Step 6Glue 2 wiggle eyes to the body of your jelly fish. Allow to dry.
  • Step 7Punch a hole in the middle top area of your jellyfish. Cut a long length of twine to create a hanger. Thread it through the hole you created and tie to secure.
