2. 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.
3. Step 1
Fold the paper in
half so it is a big
triangle.
Hint: you want the
design on the
outside.
4. Step 2
Fold the outside
edges to the top so
you have a small
square.
5. Step 3
Turn the diamond
shape 90 degrees
so the opening is at
the bottom.
Fold each triangle in
to a smaller triangle.
6. Step 4
Fold each small
triangle in half.
Hint: the horizontal
edge of the origami
must be in a straight
line!
7. 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!
8. 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!
9. Step 7
Open the fish body
Pinch the tail so it
sticks out!
