- Now take your paper plate and then cover it in glue. Then, cover the paper plate with the small and square tissue papers. Leave the bottom part of the paper plate uncovered as you will cut it out later.
- Using your scissors, cut one side of the paper plate so you will have a bottom of a jellyfish. Cut the side of the paper plate that is not covered with tissue paper. Cut it out with zig zag line, not a straight line. Look at the picture to see how it is done!
- Along the cut bottom, make some holes using a hole punch.
