Instructions
Step 1
Transfer the fish motif to tracing paper, increasing to the appropriate size.
Step 2
Using carbon paper, transfer the fish to thick plywood and the mouth, eyes, and fins to thinner plywood.
Step 3
When translating a motive, translate one detail in a mirror image. Saw out all the parts with a jigsaw.
Step 4
Sand the edges and surfaces of the workpieces with a sanding pad or emery paper.
Step 5
Additionally, cut out 2 pieces of plywood (thickness 16 mm), measuring 7, 5 * 4 cm each. Dilute white acrylic paint in a 1: 1 ratio and prime the fish with a sponge.
Step 6
First paint the fish with yellow paint. Add a little orange and red paint to the still wet paint for toning.
Step 7
Color the blue fish according to the photo. As the paint dries, paint the fish, depicting the eyes, mouth, fins.
Step 8
Glue all parts to the fish with waterproof wood glue. Then translate the circles, write them down and leave until the paints are completely dry.
Step 9
Cover the items with waterproof varnish. Decorate with colored stones using strong glue.
Step 10
Trace the fins and circles with a silver lacquer pencil. Bend the wire with a spiral according to the pattern.
Step 11
Glue a decorative pebble to one end. Drill 2 holes with a diameter of 2 mm on the sides of the mouth and 1 hole on the sides of the tail with a drill.
Step 12
Attach the spirals with glue to the prepared holes. Drill a hole on two pieces of wood at the longitudinal edge in the middle with an 11 mm drill.
Step 13
Glue them to the fish, additionally securing them with a screw. Place colorful fish on metal rods and set in a flower bed, in a garden, or attach on a chain to the "chime of the wind".
