Pipe Cleaner Fish: Constructing Body

Video Transcript

"We're ready to start constructing the body and what we're going to do is we're going to take the black pipe cleaners and we're going to make the general shape of the fish. Depending on how big you want to make your fish, if you want to make one about this size we're going to use two for the general shape of the body. We do that by twisting these together wrapping them all the way around. We want to avoid any excess of the pipe cleaners, and if there is a lot of excess we'll just trim that off with a pair of scissors. And then we're going to bring it around and wrap it again. I think this makes a good shape and size for the body so I'm going to stop it there and cut those extra pieces off so that we can attach the tail, fins and other parts. So this is going to be our head and this is going to continue back to the tail area. You just want to shape it out in case it's not real rounded in the way that you want and that'll give us the body."
