Pipe Cleaner Fish: Making a Mobile

Video Transcript

"Our fish is complete. Some of the ideas that I have for displaying our fish, one of them would be to make a mobile. This would be a great family project. Have everyone in the family make a different size fish. Use different colors, different materials, different techniques. Challenge them to come up with a new idea, and that way when you attach the loop for hanging, you can attach it at different lengths. Then we create the structure at the top, a rounded structure that'll hold all the fish. You can do this out of pipe cleaners. If it's not strong enough, weave them together to make a stronger structure. And you have that rounded structure to hang all of them from at different lengths and create a beautiful mobile for the home. You can also hang these in a window, you could hang them from your child's wall using a tack in this loop. I love the idea of hanging multiple ones from the child's ceiling in their room and creating an underwater adventure. You do want to make sure that everything is dry before you hang these up. They can be a little bit messy with the glitter, the tissue paper, but if anything were to fall apart, it's easily reassembled."
