Here's how you make it...

1. Trace the templates on to craft foam and cut out. We made our reel black and our fish orange. You can also paint your craft stick or leave it bare.

2. Cut a 12" piece of string or yarn. Wrap it around the reel and glue in place. You can make this even easier by cutting a tiny slit on each side of the reel and wrapping the string through the slits.

3. Glue the end of the reel onto the side of your craft stick.

4. Glue the string up the pole.

5. Tie the end of string to a paper clip.

6. Decorate your fish if you want. We used glitter glue and google eyes. Poke your foam fish through the paper clip so it dangles down from the rod. Write a message on the back of the craft stick with a permanent marker.
