When cutting out the template pieces put a number on the back so that you know where they will go when placing them back together like a jigsaw puzzle.

Mark Making Under The Sea Collage
  1. To make the sea you will need roughly three sheets of the blue design, for one of the techniques we used bubble wrap painting to print light blue onto a darker background, we scraped waves into another using the end of a paintbrush and then we printed using a piece of cardboard made into a triangle onto the other.
  2. For the green seaweed you will need two different techniques, we used a paintbrush to paint circles on one and used a sheet of tissue to leave a pattern on another.
  3. For the large fish we painted a sheet of paper yellow and then screwed up a piece of paper and used it to dip in the red and print.
  4. For the smaller fish we used cardboard to make patterns.
  5. Once these are all dry use the templates to cut out the pieces.
  6. Stick on the pieces onto the canvas using super tacky glue.
