[Mid-Autumn Festival Event] Making carp streamer lanterns - making according to the tutorial

It seemed like it took me a lot longer than the tutorial OTZ
Double-sided tape is not easy to stick, you can use glue to stick to the body,
But be careful not to apply the glue right next to the upper layer, otherwise the lower layer will stick more densely to cover up the marks on it.
The first time I made it, it had almost eight layers, which was really dense. I tore half of it out and started over again. I think the whole thing was just seven layers thick.
For the body to be glued, you can cut the circle a little larger. It is more convenient to glue it with half a circle.
Only use semicircles for the last layer, and using double-sided tape will not damage the color and texture of the crepe paper~
By the way, regarding color matching, it is recommended to use white and orange as the background color, and add two colors of the same color series. Four colors for one fish are OK~ I especially like the purple, red and gold color scheme in the original picture~
