Origami

Fun with fish!!!

Before you start

Before you start it is important to pick out the origami paper you would like to use!

You can use traditional origami paper or notebook paper of any size as long as it is a perfect square.

Step 1

Fold the paper in half so it is a big triangle.

Hint: you want the design on the outside.

Step 2

Fold the outside edges to the top so you have a small square.

Step 3

Turn the diamond shape 90 degrees so the opening is at the bottom.

Fold each triangle in to a smaller triangle.

Step 4

Fold each small triangle in half.

Hint: the horizontal edge of the origami must be in a straight line!

Step 5

Fold the top layer of the bottom paper to the middle of the top triangle.

Fold the remaining paper to make a lip!

Step 6

Turn the fish over so it is facing the table.

Tear each side 1/3 of the way to make the fish’s tail!

Step 7

Open the fish body

Pinch the tail so it sticks out!

You’re Done!
