3rd video showing how to make the underwater scene.

Step 1:

Make a round shape in a piece of card, cut into 4 angles and overlap the cut sides to make a bowl and celotape.

Shape a piece of paper to the underbelly off the bowl and celotape together. Use modroc to cover the bowl shape or use paper mâché to cover the shape.

Step 2:

Use pieces of card or paper and stick together to make the pinchers and claws. Use tissue paper for padding. Paste to front and top of crab.

Step 3:

Paste the claws onto the crab with 2 pinchers and stick 2 eyes on it.

Cut the carb shell and paste onto to crabs claws. Put tissue over the top to get a texture and pop 2 eyes on it.

Step 4:

Underwater scene - take 2 cereal boxes and pull them apart. Attach the 2 halves using PVA and use some card to make the base. Rip the card on the 2 sides to look like rock and use colour tissue paper to give texture and ‘marine’ rocky look.

Step 6:

Complete the scene using fishy silhouettes for the background, seaweed paper, and make the crab and scene look glitzy and sparkly using glitter. Image available soon for the complete piece:
