Origami Fish
Start with a single piece of brightly colored origami paper. First make a bird base, shown below.
Review our instructions for the bird base if needed.
Fold the top points of the bird base down, to make a
kite shape, as shown in the next two photos.
Now fold one of the lower points of the kite upwards, to meet the top point.
Fold that point across to the left corner of the kite.
Now fold that corner across to the right, as shown in the sequence of the next three pictures.
This creates one half of the fish tail.
Fold the fish tail down.
The flip the origami piece over, and repeat the last six photo-steps to make another fish tail half.
Now fold the Left and Right corners of the kite onto the centerline as shown.
Repeat on the other side.
We're almost there.
Hold each bottom point of the kite, one in each hand, and pull gently to unfold the fish.
You can apply a small amount of glue or tape to hold the
tail together.
Also optional is decoration with pens, pencils, markers or crayons.
Below we see our origami fish living "under the sea".
