Recycled Fish Mobiles

No, it's not quite as smelly as it sounds! Make great fish mobiles using old CD's by:
1) Cut out a red card heart 5cms high.
2) Cut out 2 triangles, one with a 15cm base and one with an 8cm base in coloured card of your choice.
3) Take one CD and on the side of the writing glue the short triangle so that the base fits along the top of the CD with the point sticking up. Then take the large triangle and glue the pointed tip (about 1cm in) on the left hand side of the CD.
4) Take your heart and glue it on the right hand side of the CD so that just the curved part protrudes. (This makes your fish's lips).
5) Take your other CD and glue it writing side down to the other CD. (You should have no writing visible on either side of your CD.
6) Glue a large googly eye on each side of the CD and hang

Try to place these near sunlight as it will really make them sparkle.

These can also be adapted into fat birds with waterproof materials to hang in the gardens over seeds and crops to scare birds away.
