Video Transcript

"So now it's time to give our fish a face. So we're going to apply some eyes, but what I'd like to do is actually back it up with a little bit of sequins to make the eyes a little bit more dramatic, so we'll choose some larger sequins. They don't have to be the same color. We'll do some greens. We're going to put a dot of glue, we're going to find a place on the fish that can actually hold the glue and hold the eyes. I'm going to put this in place like this, and then we're going to take a googly eye, put it down a little bit further, that way, sequins just makes a little bit more reflection and flair to the eye. And we'll do the same thing to the other side. Adding a little bit of glue, the green sequins, and a large googly eye. That glue's going to dry clear, so it doesn't matter if we get it on any other part of our fish. Try to line them up a little bit, but really, we're looking for a place that's a smooth surface to glue them on to. If they don't stick originally with the glue, you can always take a small piece of masking tape or scotch tape to hold them down, and that should hold them in place until they're dry."
