Materials: Printable Fishing Party Template, 8.5 x 11 card stock, scissors, craft knife, glue, markers, Japanese hole punch or regular hole punch, straws, string

Step 1: Print out the Printable Fishing Party Template on 8.5 x 11 card stock.
Step 2: Cut out the the fish and the fins.
Step 3: Slice each fish in the center along the indicated line. This is where the fin fits in.
Step 4: To make a straw holder, use the hole punch or Japanese hole punch to make a hole as indicated in the photo. Which hole punch you choose to use will depend on the width of the straw. If you need to, make the hole a bit bigger using a craft knife so that it snuggly fits over the straw.
Step 5: Feed the fin through the slot on the fish. Bend down the fin. Place straw through the hole.
Step 6: To make a place card follow steps 1 through 3 then fit the fin through the slot.
Step 7. Bend both the fin & tab downwards. The fish will lean back on the back tab to make a standing place card.
Step 8: To make a tag, follow steps 1 through 3 then punch a hole near the top of the fish to tie on the string.
Step 9: Feed the fin through the slot cut earlier. Bend down the back tab and glue to fish. Now write a cute message on the back of the card.
Step 10: Get creative… what else can you make? Nothing too fishy I hope!
