I am pretty proud of this project because I came up with it myself. I found a template for a fishbowl online (can't find the site right now but will look for it) and then cut out a hole in the middle. I washed a ziplock bag with water and then emptied it (just do you could get the water effect.) We cut out foam sea weed and fish and put it in the baggie. I then closed all but about an inch of the baggie. I blew a little bit of air in through the hole and closed it so that bag was puffy.I then put a hole punch through both the foam fishbowl shape and the baggie once it was lined up just right and put a strong through it (because I am lame and don't have any yarn in my house! ) :)
So then you have a hanging fishbowl! Now, if my kids were older and had a longer attention span, I think it would be fun to do a fishbowl cutout for the other side too and then glue the sides together. And I think one thing I would do different next time is to let my kids draw the fish / sea creature shapes on the foam and then cut them out. This time I just cut some fish and they put the eyes on. But I would love to see what they come up with.
Overall, a super easy project that turned out really cute...I think. :)

Creative project. Adorable results.
Have I told you lately how amazing you are?
That is adorable! Great project!
Super cute! I wish I was half as creative as you are and had half of your patience. Glad to see you have stuck with the projects. I probably would have quit after the first day or two!
WOW what a fun idea! Do you just find fun books at the library and then come up with cute crafts? We were just at the library today we will have to go back and find this book and make the cute project! What a fun mommy you are! I cant wait to see your next fun idea....
Cute, cute craft! I'm so impressed by your creativity and use of books and crafts. Way to go!
You continually amaze me. I don't have the energy to do what you do with your kids. It makes me sad for my kids that they have such a lazy, bum mom. I will have to try a bit harder for them.
