Becky from Parity shows you how to make a jellyfish at home.
Instructions are below the video.
You will need:
- Paper bowls or Plates
- Coloured string or wool
- Paint and Paint brushes
- Scissors
- Skewer or sharp pencil
Paint the bowl/plate on both sides. (You will need to shape the plate into a bowl shape do this once painted)
For the tentacles, cut 10 – 12 pieces of string/wool to approximately 40 cm – 60cm in length. (You can vary the lengths if you like)
At the centre of the bowl/plate – piece two small holes with the pencil/skewer (be careful) approximately 2 cms apart.
Cut a piece of string/wool to 40 cm and thread it thru the holes so it comes out the bottom of the bowl/plate (This will be to hang your Jellyfish and to help secure the tenticles).
From the inside of the bowl, pull the string up to form a small loop. Thread the tentacles through and roughly centre them under the loop.
Turn over the bowl and pull the string/wool tight and tie a double knot.
Back on the inside, grasp the tentacles as one bunch and tie a single knot.
Now hang up your Jellyfish and enjoy!
If you use fluorescent paint the Jellyfish will glow in the dark.
