Girl Scout SWAPS

Fishing Pole

Materials Needed:

  • small stick
  • string, floss or yarn
  • fun foam cut into fish shape
  • marker, hole punch, one sequin
  • flat back pin
  • Tag

Directions:

  1. Tie string unto the stick.
  2. Tie sequin about 1 1/2" up from the bottom of the string, this is your 'lure'.
  3. Use the marker to add eyes and scales to your fish shape. Punch a whole where the mouth would go.
  4. Tie the fish unto the end of the string.
  5. Hot glue flat back pin on back.
  6. Add the tag to the pin.

Added Tips:

  1. All SWAPS that are going to be traded should have a tag with some information about the giver. First name, troop level and number, and state works well as a rememberence for the receiver and keeps safety issues in mind.
