Origami is an ancient Japanese art of making various shapes (most often animals) by folding paper squares. This art is not difficult, but, on the contrary, is considered fascinating and interesting!
Try to make at least one origami figure. Fish is a great choice. In ancient Russia, the fish was a symbol of Christianity, and in Japan - a symbol of good luck. Making a figurine 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 of the paper in the picture on the right and the back in the picture on the left.
It is acceptable to use a different paper if you want your origami fish to have a different color.
So let's get started:
1) Lay the previously prepared square upside down. Bend it diagonally.
2) Turn the received part 45o clockwise.
3) Bend the corners of the piece (as shown).
4) After completing step three, you should have a diamond. Lift the corners up horizontally and bend them.
5) Bend the ends to 22, 5o in different directions.
6) Roughly divide the lower part of the diamond into two halves with a horizontal line. Bend and straighten the piece along this line.
7) Examine the resulting fold line. It divides the lower part of the part into two; Let's call them "Part 1" and "Part 2" for convenience. Divide part 1 into two halves with a horizontal line. Fold the top layer of paper along the horizontal line you drew in the previous step.
8) Lift and fold half of part 1 (as shown).
9) Fold the remaining bottom of the diamond back.
10) Get ready to open your pocket. To do this, bend and straighten the part vertically in the middle.
11) Press the craft down on both sides. You will see how the pocket began to open.
12) Continue pressing down on the piece.
13) Rotate the resulting craft by 90o.
14) Squeeze the edge of the part, which is indicated by the ellipse.
15) Separate, bend andstraighten the future fish, as shown in the illustration.
16) Go back to step 8.
17) Turn the piece over. Cut it as shown.
18) Repeat steps 9-13.
19) Bend inward ¼ of the future tail of the fish, which you unfolded in step 15.
20) Look at the back of the piece.
21) Squeeze the product along the lines indicated by the dotted line. Get ready to arch his butt.
22) Raise the back of the product. If your figure looks like the picture, then you are doing everything right.
23) Lower the back section while folding it along the fold line.
24) Bend the piece inwards along the dotted lines.
25) The origami fish is ready! You can glue on her eyes or draw them.
This figurine can be used as a New Year's toy. Origami fish will decorate any Christmas tree, both live and artificial. If you have a large houseplant, you can make several of these figures and decorate the flower with them. It is worth noting that the origami fish is a great gift for a loved one.
If you enjoyed this activityart, you can study similar instructions borrowed from Japanese masters. It is useful to engage in origami with a child - this develops the motor skills of his fingers. There are various origami schemes - for children and adults, which reveal in detail the process of making crafts of varying degrees of complexity. The main thing in this business is desire.
