Trace the body on the skin toned cardstock of choice. Trace the hair on the hair color cardstock of choice. And do the same with the tail, fin, and top. Cut all the pieces out.
Now, glue the tail to the body. Glue the fin to the bottom of the tail.
Glue the top in place, as well.
Next, glue the ponytail to the back of the head shape.
And glue the bangs to the front.
Finally, use markers and pens to add a simple face, blush, and lips.
