Ok I have successfully loaded the fish pattern finally so go to my gallery & find it. Here are the directions.
Cut 1 fish & 1 fin out of CS or craft foam. stamp some type of texture/background stamp onto two old CD's (junk,recycled, mailer, aol, even new ones work) using stazon ink. Be careful stazon ink is slippery so you may want to parctice a bit & always stamp on CD before assembling. I use crystal effects to glue it together. You place the fish peice oin between the CD's. Once dry glue one googly eye on (or use glue dots now) let dry & them glue the second. If you don't wait for it to dry the eye will slide around & may not dry where you had intended it to. If you have used Cs you will need to crimp the fin with the grain running up & down the long way. Then you can slip the fin through the hole. for craft I just folded it into thris like a fan pushed through the hole & then let go. If you use CS ou can punch a hole & use grosgrain ribbon. I used translucent thread & put it through the CD hole but you must put a knot right at the top if the CD. leave a long string so it can hang from the ceiling. I hope these are clear enough. I will post this with the pattern as well. I hope your art class loves it!

We didn't stamp on ours but did do these for taking to the Childrens Hospital to hang in their ward for something fun and cool to look at. We did the fins a bit different though, we rounded them to look more like the fins on a fish. They look so cool
