Attention deep-sea divers! Who needs a submarine when you have a pair of scissors, some old cardboard boxes and a big dose of imagination? The mysterious depths of the ocean are teeming with little heroes - and let's be honest: Aquaman, Ariel or Spongebob would only be half as adventurous without their faithful sea companions. You can now easily bring this colorful underwater crew into your home.

Immerse yourself in your own colorful underwater world with our cardboard upcycling DIY. Elegant seahorses, curious puffer fish, glittering jellyfish and all the other charming inhabitants of the ocean depths can be created in no time at all from inconspicuous cardboard boxes. Every brushstroke, every cut-out fin and every handmade scale brings your personal ocean kingdom to life. Almost as if it were gently bobbing in time with the ocean current. And the best thing about it? You're not only doing something for your creativity, but also something really good for the environment. Because instead of buying new materials, you transform discarded cardboard boxes into little works of art that are bursting with character. Sustainability can be quite magical, so put on your fins, get your scissors out, grab your cardboard and let's go! Your underwater adventure is already waiting for you to discover it.

Simply print out the folia template, cut it out and transfer it to the cardboard with a pencil.

Cut out the transferred sea creatures and stick them together at the marked points.

You can now decorate your little animal friends to your heart's content - there are no limits to your creativity! Colored pencils, colored cardboard or glitter stones, for example, are ideal.
