Add Some Citrus Fish to Your Home

March is National Crafting Month!

Therefore, I will be sharing some fishy crafts that I've found that are both easy and fun.

To start it all off, we'll be making this adorable Lemon and Lime Fish!



These are the supplies you will need:

2 lemons
1 lime
2 allspice berries
a red radish
toothpicks
a sharp paring knife


Once you have all of your supplies ready, it's really quite easy to make these fish:

1. On your work surface, position the lemon on it's side to form the fish body. If it rolls,
trim away a small slice to create a flat bottom.

2. Cut a round slice from the second lemon. Towards the back of your fish's body, cut a small slit; insert the round slice to form it's fin.

3. Also from the second lemon, cut a small quarter-moon shaped slice of rind. Make a small incision in the top of your fish; insert the rind to form it's head.

4. From the lime rind, cut two same-size rounds; attach to the front with toothpicks to form fins.

5. Also from the lime rind, cut two small circles; attach with toothpicks to form the eyes. In the centers, attach allspice berries (pupils).

6. Cut a small slice of radish; attach with a toothpick to form it's mouth.


And voila! Hope you have fun making this cute little fish!
