Materials Needed

- 1 piece String or fishing line For hanging the jellyfish spinner.
- 1 unit Scissors For cutting the paper.
- 1 unit Clear adhesive or tape To assemble the jellyfish components.

Instructions
Preparation
- Cut the Base: Start with a piece of card stock. Cut it into a circle that will serve as the base of your jellyfish. It should be large enough to catch the light, around 8-10 inches in diameter.
- Prepare the Tentacles: From more colorful paper, cut long strips for the tentacles. These should be thin and can vary in length to create a more dynamic look.
- Attach the Tentacles: Secure the tentacles to the bottom of the base circle using the clear adhesive. Be sure to space them evenly around the edge for balance.
- Create the Body: Take another piece of different colored paper and cut it into a dome shape. Attach this piece to the center of the base, ensuring that your tentacles are on the underside.
- Add the Spinner: Puncture the top of the dome and thread a piece of string through it, creating a loop for hanging. Secure the string with adhesive and let it dry.
- Test the Spin: Once everything is secure, hang it in a place where it can spin freely. Gently give it a push and watch how it catches the light!
