Make a beautiful Sharks mobile using our free printable shark!
This super easy craft is perfect for kids ages 9+. It's easy to make with just these materials:
Instructions:
1. Print out three copies of the free printable shark. I recommend using a heavy paper, such as resume paper or card stock. You can also print out the shark and then use it as a stencil to make the sharks out of felt instead of paper.
2. Cut out the sharks and their fins. (Be careful around the teeth!)
3. Glue the fins into place using the trapezoid place marks. Note: It is much harder to get the fins on after the shark is a tube. Definitely glue the fins on first!
4. Fold down the tabs on the shark's back, put glue on them, and then glue the shark into a tube.
5. Punch a hole through each shark's dorsal fin. You may want to bend the fin backwards gently so that it will hang vertically rather than at a slight angle.
6. Cut the ribbon or fabric into strips that gradually increase in length from 3" to 48". Tie them from shortest to longest around the embroidery hoop.
7. Tie each shark to one of the ribbons - a short ribbon, medium ribbon, and long ribbon.
8. To make the hanger, tie three equal-length ribbons evenly spaced around the hoop, and then tie them to each other.
Ta-da! Now you have an awesome shark mobile that perfectly matches your Sharks Dress!

I’m an illustrator, surface designer and educator based in Atlanta, GA. I live with my boyfriend and our three rescue kitties, who very often make it into my art, especially the two black cats.
I feel very comfortable creating art for kids, because I'm really a kid at heart. I love cute animals and bright colors. I find it particularly satisfying to distill complex concepts into simple shapes that are stylized but easily recognizable.
Sienna Farr was one of Princess Awesome's first models, before our Kickstarter, before we were much more than a dream and a few dresses made of tee shirts and quilting material. She died in a fire that also seriously injured her mother on August 11, 2023, aged 13.
Princess Awesome is so proud to partner with Women in Aviation International to sponsor a design contest during the summer of 2023. We are looking for your awesome ideas for new clothing that features airplanes, helicopters, engineering concepts, schematics - anything that has to do with aviation.
