(Note: The Jellyfish comes Included in the Ocean 3D Tunnel Book or can be purchased separately as a Totem Poppet Animal.)

Step 1: Painting the Jellyfish

The first step in creating your jointed jellyfish is to unleash your creativity and paint the intricate details of this fascinating sea creature.

🎨 Use the vibrant colors provided in the kit to bring your jellyfish to life. Don't be afraid to experiment with different color combinations! Mix, blend, or add fun patterns for a truly unique design.


Step 2: Pop Out the Pieces

Once your jellyfish is painted and dried, carefully pop out each piece from the backer board.

βœ… Be sure to keep track of all the partsβ€”some are small and easy to drop! πŸ˜†


Step 3: Assembling the Jointed Jellyfish

Now for the fun partβ€”putting your poseable jellyfish together!

🧩 You can use the pictures included in the instructions to piece together your jellyfish correctly.

πŸ“Œ Important Note:
The jellyfish tentacles have two different types of pieces:

  • Tentacle pieces with two holes are the middle sections. Attach these to the body first.
  • Tentacle pieces with one hole are the lower sections. Connect them at the ends.

πŸŒ€ The joints allow for movement, adding an interactive element to your creation!


Tips for Success:

βœ” For assembly, stick a mini brad through one hole, hold it in place with your thumb or finger, flip the piece over, and attach the next part.

βœ” If there’s a little bit of paint blocking the pre-punched 1/16" hole, use a toothpick or pen tip to clear it out for easier assembly.

βœ” Take your time and enjoy the process of bringing your jointed jellyfish to life!
