(I struggled with a few steps, so I got my sister help me just so I can understand them.)
Have a Square piece of paper ready, blank side up if you're using a colored sheet of paper. |
Step 1; Fold the paper in half vertically. |
Step 2: Rotate 90° and grab the corner to fold into the crease made earlier. |
Step 3: Do the same thing in Step 2 but on the other side. |
Step 5: Fold in half. |
Step 4: Make a new crease just to pop the fold down. (Confusing) |
Step 7: Fold the corner to make it touch the other side. |
Step 6: Fold in half again, but hotdog style |
Step 8: fold the bottom corner over the triangle you just made. |
Step 9: Fold the bottom corner backward to be able to use it later. |
Step 10: Fold the corner into the body, this help round the head. |
Step 11: Use the triangle you made earlier to fold into itself. |
Step 12: Fold the point leftover and fold it into the gap you made in Step 11. |
Step 13: Reverse fold the inner tail. |

Hi James, I really enjoyed how easy this origami fish was. I also liked how your steps were easy to follow. I used to be able to fold origami fishes from memory, but since I haven't done origami in a very long time, I have forgotten the steps. But thanks to your steps, I will be able to memorize them and fold origami fishes whenever I want.
ReplyDeleteHi Jonathan, glad to hear you will be able to memorize the steps to make the origami fish. I hope you'll enjoy making fishes.
