Steps

• 
  Step 1
  Draw two lines on a collage tray (or paper plate) as shown, 2" in from the top and bottom of the plate. Draw a 1/2" tab on the top of the lower line.
• 
  Step 2
  Cut the tray apart on the lines, then glue the pieces together, attaching the tab behind the top piece.
• 
  Step 3
  Cut out a notch for the mouth. Cut out an eye from the center of the tray and attach with glue. Paint with your choice of tempera paints.
• 
  Step 4
  To create fins and a tail, begin by folding up a Roylco Color Diffusing Circle as shown.
• 
  Step 5
  Add different colors of liquid watercolor, allowing the colors to bleed through each layer. Unfold and let the circle dry.
• 
  Step 6
  Cut off two fins, leaving the middle for a tail, as shown.
• 
  Step 7
  To finish, attach the fins and tail to your guppy with glue.
