Happy Boy's Day everyone! In honor of the Japanese holiday I decided to make some miniature boy's day kites to hang from a pencil. They're super simple to make and require just a few materials.Supplies:
Fish template
Pencil
Scissors
Thread
One Brass Tack
Double stick tape or glue
Right click, copy, save, and print out fish on basic white printer paper. Fishes should be about one and half inches in length. Cut out fishes.
Place double stick tape (or glue) on the back of each fish. Place string on top of tape. Place matching fish on top of string.
Place thumb tack half way into the pencil eraser. Tie all fishes to the tack. Trim loose ends.
Push tack all the way down. You now have a miniature Boy's Day Fish Kite on a pole (pencil).
Anyone else celebrating Boy's Day?

Jessica, another brilliant idea that I always adore. May I know how do you create the template for people to download the visual and print? I wanted to use it to showcase my paper cutting folding & cutting tutorials.

Cute! I made cupcakes with little carp flags and took them to work. =)
