Shamu Tail Fluke StockingMaterials:
Black Felt White Felt Scissors Constructio
n Paper
Stapler Glue Glitter 6 ft of Black
Yarn
Hole puncher
Marker Template
Procedure:1. Using template provided, cut out the tail fluke shape out of
construction paper.2. With a marker, trace the construction paper template onto
white piece of felt.3. Lay piece of white felt onto black felt. Be sure the black felt
covers the whole template.4. (Optional) Staple the pieces of felt together, stapling inside of
the template. This makes keeping the pieces together during cutting much easier.
5. Cut out the template, being sure to keep the black and white pieces of felt together.
6. Punch holes around the border of the fluke. There should be 7 holes across the bottom and 4 on each side (not counting the whole in the corner).
7. Tie yarn to the upper left hand corner hole, and then thread yarn down through the rest of the holes. Once you reach the last hole in the upper right, leave enough yarn for the hanging loop and tie the end of the yarn to the original knot.
8. If used, remove the staples carefully.9. Write your name (or make a design) on the black side of the
tail fluke in glue. (Don’t be afraid to use a lot of glue. Remember the more glue, the more the glitter can stick to.)
10. Quickly, cover the glue with glitter.11. After about 10-15 minutes, pour the excess glue off the
fluke onto a piece of paper so you can transfer it back into the bottle of glitter.
12. After completely dry, brush off any excess glitter from the felt.
