How to Make an Origami Fish

Materials

• 1 square sheet of paper
• Flat surface

Step-by-step Instructions

1. Fold Diagonally

Start with a square paper. Fold in half diagonally to form a triangle, colored side on the outside.

2. Fold the Tail

Take the bottom point of the triangle and fold it to one side at an angle, creating the tail of the fish.

3. Fold Back the Tail Tip

Fold the tip of the tail back slightly to create a forked tail effect.

4. Create the Body

Fold the top edge of the triangle down about one-third of the way. Then fold the paper in half vertically to create the fish body.

5. Shape the Fish

Adjust the tail and body folds. Draw an eye on one side. Your origami fish is complete!
