Follow these instructions and you can make a very original fish from a plastic glove.

Grab a clear plastic glove.
Fill it with tissue paper, cellophane, fabric or anything similar that will colour the glove. To fill the fingers, you should cut the paper or whatever that you want to fill it with into small pieces.
After filling the fingers, fill the rest of the glove until it's quite full but leaving a space where the opening is.
Close opening with a piece of tape.
Knot the plastic as shown.
Draw eyes and scales with a permanent marker and there you have a lovely fish made from a plastic glove.

- If you do not have clear plastic gloves you can also use latex gloves. The good thing about these gloves is that you don't need to fill them with anything because you can inflate them like a balloon and tie a knot in the end. If you want to colour the fish, paint the glove with paint or permanent markers.
