Origami fish with their own hands
Origami - the ancient Japanese art of makingdifferent shapes (most often animals) by bending paper squares. This art is not difficult, but, on the contrary, is fascinating and interesting!
Try to make at least one figure of origami. Fish is a great choice. In ancient Russia, fish was a symbol of Christianity, and in Japan - a symbol of luck. Doing a figure is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance.
So, in order to make a craft, we need one square of colored paper 20x20 centimeters.
You can see the front side of the paper in the picture on the right, and the back side in the picture on the left.
It is acceptable to use another paper if you want your origami fish to have a different color.
So, let's start:
1) Put the previously prepared square with the back side up. Bend it diagonally.
2) Turn the resulting part to 45about clockwise.
3) Fold the corners of the part (as shown in the picture).
4) After completing the "three" step, you should get a diamond. Raise the corners up horizontally and bend them.
5) Bend the ends to 22.5about in different directions.
6) Approximately divide the bottom of the diamond into two halves by a horizontal line. Fold and straighten the part along this line.
7) Consider the resulting fold line. It divides the bottom of the part into two; let's call them for convenience "part 1" and "part 2". Divide the horizontal line of part 1 into two halves. Bend the top layer of paper along the horizontal line that you carried in the previous step.
8) Lift and bend the half of part 1 (as shown in the picture).
9) Unbolt the remaining lower part of the diamond back.
10) Get ready to open your pocket. To do this, bend and straighten the part vertically in the middle.
11) Squeeze the craft on both sides. You will see how the pocket began to open.
12) Continue to press down the part.
13) Turn the resulting article to 90about.
14) Squeeze the edge of the part, which is indicated by an ellipse.
15) Divide, bend and straighten out the future fish, as shown in the illustration.
16) Go back to step 8.
17) Flip the part. Cut it as shown in the picture.
18) Repeat steps 9-13.
19) Bend inward ¼ of the future tail of the fish, which you bent back in step 15.
20) View the back of the part.
21) Squeeze the product along the lines indicated by the dotted line. Prepare to bend his back.
22) Lift the back of the product. If your figure looks the same as in the picture, then you are doing everything right.
23) Lower the back part, simultaneously bending it along the fold line.
24) Fold the part inside along the dotted lines.
25) Origami fish is ready! You can glue her eyes or draw them.
Such a figure can be used as aNew Year's toy. Origami fish decorate any tree, both living and artificial. If you have a large houseplant, you can make several such figures and decorate the flower with them. It is worth noting that origami fish - a great gift for a loved one.
If you liked to practice this kind ofart, you can study similar instructions borrowed from Japanese masters. It is useful to deal with origami with a child - it develops the motor skills of his fingers. There are various origami schemes - for children and adults, which detail the process of manufacturing crafts of varying degrees of complexity. The main thing in this business is desire.
