Paper Loop Sharks

Sometimes, you want a craft that’s in depth, with paint and open ended decorations. But sometimes, you just want a craft that’s nice and simple. And these Paper Loop Sharks are of the nice and simple variety, with a big impact. A big, smiley impact. It’s easy to see why we love these guys!

I have to say this paper shark craft is about my favorite thing lately. Their big, toothy smiles are just too much. With their dorsal fin peeking over a wave of water. Like Jaws. Only a much nicer, happier version.

Paper Loop Sharks

Supplies needed:

Begin by cutting a full sheet of blue cardstock in half.

Then cut a strip that’s just a bit more than a ⅓ of the silver cardstock.

The silver strip should be slightly smaller than the blue base.

Now, draw a big mouth in the center of the silver strip. Start with a wide open black outline, then fill in with sharp teeth with the white marker.

Roll the silver strip up and staple closed.

Cut a large triangle dorsal fin and two small triangle fins from the extra silver cardstock.

Glue the large triangle dorsal directly on the blue base, over the wave.

Then staple the paper loop over the dorsal, so that it’s coming out from behind it.
