How to complete this tutorial step by step?
Materials:
To make a fish, you will need:
- Colored A4 paper sheets (130 g/m² for easy folding)
- A pair of scissors
- A glue stick
- A black marker
Step 1:
Take a sheet of colored A4 paper and fold one corner to form a triangle.
Step 2:
Cut the remaining sheet of paper to obtain a square and keep the remaining paper.
Step 3:
Take one corner of the square and fold it over the middle crease.
Repeat the folding for the opposite corner; you will get a shape resembling a "kite".
Step 4:
Unfold everything and fold the square in half.
Step 5:
Then cut small strips up to the folding line while leaving an area for the fish's head.
Step 6 :
Glue the two uncut parts together like this.
Step 7:
Round the tip with a pair of scissors to create a nice head.
Step 8:
Using the leftover paper saved from the first step, cut out a semicircle the width of the fish's head.
Step 9:
Glue the semicircle to form the lower part of the mouth.
Step 10:
Cut out two small circles from a sheet of white paper and draw the pupils with a black marker.
Step 11:
From another sheet of colored paper, cut out a heart and two fins.
Step 12:
Glue the heart to the end of the fish tail, the fins on the sides, and the eyes.
