Paper shark

Dive into a wave of craft fun with this DIY Paper Shark🦈 tutorial! Start by folding and trimming a blue A4 sheet to form the shark’s head and body. Create a finned silhouette using precise cuts, then secure the belly section with Bostik Paper Glue. Craft fins, tail, and eyes from additional blue and black paper, gluing them in place to add detail and personality. The finishing touch? A folded strip of white paper becomes the shark’s jagged teeth, glued into the mouth to create animated motion when manipulated. Quick to craft and delightfully kinetic, this shark will bring playful movement and creativity to any activity session. ✂️
 

Instructions

STEP 1: Fold

Cut the blue A4 sheet in half. Fold the top right corner to the left.

STEP 2: Cut

Cut the excess so that you now have a square piece of paper.

STEP 3: Fold

Fold as demonstrated.

STEP 4: Cut

Make 9 incisions for the sharks’ back as shown.

STEP 5: Glue

Use your Bostik Tri Stick to glue the lower two halves of the shark’s belly together.

STEP 6: Cut

Using the left over blue sheet of paper, fold it in half and cut 2 x 7cm x 7cm squares. Cut the rest as demonstrated for the fins and lower jaw. Cut 2 small circles out of the black sheet for his eyes (or you can use a black marker on the white sheet).

STEP 7: Glue

Start gluing your shark together starting with the fins and the tail.

STEP 8: Teeth

Cut a strip of A4 white paper about 1 cm wide for the teeth. Fold in half. One half you will cut out the teeth and the other you will glue to the shark’s mouth.

STEP 9: Cut & Paste

Cut a serrated edge as shown on one side of the paper. Cut into three sections, and glue into the shark’s mouth.
