How to make a fish from paper?

Paper crafts are not just a fun way to spend time with your child. Sometimes these classes turn into a real hobby or become an excellent idea for the interior decor . Below we will consider three variants of manufacturing crafts for small fishes.

How to make origami fish?

So, the first option is to make a fish in very interesting origami technique. This is one of the simplest ways to make a goldfish with your own hands:

1. We fold the workpiece from a square paper diagonally. The color part is outward.
2. Next, two corners of the resulting triangle are folded to the center down.
3. Now we need the corners, which we bent to the bottom to the center, now to bend now to the top.
4. Bend the corners, as shown in the picture.
5. The lower part is bent upwards, then we add it, as shown in the picture, so that the underside is outward.
6. We turn the workpiece and also bend the edge of the inside out.
7. Next, you need to open the envelope and fold it with a rhombus to make the fins.
8. We bend the edge, as if delineating the caudal fin.
9. Unbend and make a cut along the top edge to the fold line.
10. Similarly, make a cut along the bottom edge before folding.
11. It remains only to bend the cut piece, as shown in the photo, and make the caudal fin of the fish from the paper.

Large (large) goldfish with own hands

Work with paper and glue can be much larger. Here is one of the options for making a goldfish with your own hands in the papier-mache technique:

1. Print or draw by hand on the cardboard blanks for the fins.
2. The body of the fish will be made from an inflatable ball. To it with the help of an adhesive tape and attach the blanks for the fins.
3. Next, layer by layer, we smear newspaper pieces with PVA glue and form the body of the fish.
4. From the bottom do not forget to leave a small hole so that you can remove the ball.
5. Since this option is suggested to be used as piñata, the hole is left quite large so that you can place sweets. If your goal is the decor of the room, it will not be needed.
6. We proceed to the last stage of the lesson, how to make a fish from paper, namely, decorating.
7. To do this, cut out small corrugated paper from corrugated paper, then fix them with glue, before crushing.
8. It remains only to glue the eyes with a smile and the master class of making origami fish is complete!

Rybka in the technique of quilling - master class

To make a fish craft with your own hands in this technique is even easier. It is not the complexity of the technique that works, but the properly selected materials.

Instead of the usual strips of paper, we take these dense and corrugated.

We rewind them, like any workpiece in quilling, and then squeeze a little on the edges.

One big fish for the body and two smaller for the fins. Glued toy eyes and the fish is ready.
