When Crafting Takes a Fishy Turn
Have you ever looked at your craft table and thought, “You know what’s missing? A fish”?
No? Me neither.
But that’s exactly where today’s crafting adventure, Something’s Fishy in the Craft Room, begins. Carina stumbled across a jaw-dropping video online where someone used a live fish to make a paint imprint. Naturally, her first thought was: Is this real? And does it actually work?
And so, for the sake of art (and curiosity), she decided to try it herself.

The Strange Inspiration
In the original video, the crafter gently pressed a painted live fish onto paper to create a colorful imprint. It looked… bizarrely beautiful. But could this be done without scaring the fish or creating a giant mess?
Carina’s rules for the experiment:
- The fish had to be safe at all times.
- No harmful paints or chemicals.
- Everything had to be reversible and washable.

Step-by-Step: The “Live Fish” Craft Project
Carina’s version of this quirky craft idea involved a little creativity:
- Choose the fish – She picked a calm, wiggly companion.
- Non-toxic paint – Only safe, washable craft paints made the cut.
- The imprint moment – With gentle handling, the fish “posed” for its art debut.
The result was… surprisingly beautiful. Nature makes the best patterns
The Verdict

While this was one of the funniest crafting experiments Carina has ever done, she admits it’s not a project she’ll be repeating often. Still, it’s proof that sometimes the most unexpected ideas lead to the most interesting results.
