CD ROM Fish Craft

I originally made this as a craft for my 2 nephews and my niece, then I made another to use in my 5th grade school project on the Great Barrier Reef. Not only is this a great project for your little ones or as a good touch in a marine school project, even as an aquatic addition to your cubicle! It's pretty simple, and customizable. Hope you have fun with it!

Step 1: Materials

This is all the stuff you will need:

Scissors

Hot Glue Gun (though I'm sure superglue would work, though you might need a lot)

Thumbtack (to hang it)

Fishing String (to attach it to the thumbtack)

Sharpie (or similar bleed-mark making device)

Cardstock (construction paper works, but I'm not too fond of the graininess of it, cardstock is much smoother and a bit thicker)

2 CDs that you don't need

Googly eyes (medium size works good, though the super-large ones look hilarious!)

I did one like this, except it is a pirhana, and I cut a piece out of the cd to make a mouth.
