Shoebox Aquarium

This project is one of the longer arts and crafts, but after you finish it's really cute! (inspired by @almostmakesperfect on Instagram)


You'll need:


1. any small box like a shoe box or a beer box (yep we used a beer box, don't judge!)

2. a sheet of white paper (thicker is better)

3. a sheet of blue paper

4. something to color with like paints, crayons or markers

5. pipe-cleaners

6. scissors

7. string

8. tape


Instructions:

  1. Cut an opening on one side

  2. Cut the blue paper so that it fits inside the box and tape it. (This will be the water background).
