Find paper.
Fold into a square.
Make right side and top edge perfectly aligned.
Then crease down.
Trace the bottom of that fold (what was the top) along where it is now.
Open and cut off extra piece. Do NOT throw it away! It will be used for fin and tail.
After extra is cut off, lay in front of you like a diamond with point toward you and away from you.
FOld right and left top edges into meet the middle fold and crease (like a paper airplane).
Trance the new folds. The area here in the middle is the top of your fish that you will see.
T His it he best time to decorate it before you cut it up.
Draw designs or dots or you can even skip this step.
The part on the right will be your fish's head. I drew gills on the sides of it.
Use some scrap white paper to make 2 round pieces for your eyes.
Make a black pupil with a shine in it. glue down.
CUTTING SPINE
Fold fish in half and lay it down. This is the hard part.
You will be cutting finger width lines starting right after where the head meets the body.
Do not start directly where the head meets the body or else your head will get cut off.
make your lines go parallel to the line where the head meets the body.
Drawing these lines first may be helpful.
Cut on the lines stopping at where i drew the orange line. Do not go past this line.
After you cut the lines, open the fish body back up.
Apply glue to only one side of the triangular side.
(see note)
Fold other triangular piec inward an on top of glue. Hold for about 30 seconds.
Use a dot, not alot!
Grab that extra piece I told you not to throw away.
Lay it under the mouth of the fish. Make a mark of how wide the mouth is.
It is better to make the mark slightly smaller.
Cut a curved piece out the same width as the mouth.
Apply a think line of glue to the straight edge of this paper.
Glue it inside the mouth of the fish.
Take the rest of that scrap paper and draw a tail and 2 fins
(a little longer than you think, I failed to do this.).
glue the fins and tail on.
IF you did not follow my steps, this will help you tons!
