Paint the golf ball orange – that will take at least two coats.

Step 2

Cut fins out of the orange foam. You will need two top fins, one bottom fin, two side fins and one tail fin.

Drill a hole into the top of the golf ball, for the eye screw. Screw in the eye screw.

Step 5

Punch a hole into each of the top fins, making sure they line up.

Step 6

Glue on fins and tail.

Step 7

String the fishing line through the fins and eyescrew.  

Step 8

Glue on google eyes.

Use a permanent marker to draw on eyelashes.
