Tutorial on how to make origami carps using dollar origami carps.

Using dollar origami carp origami small handmade illustrated method tutorial, the following is a specific origami tutorial, this is a red carp. Let’s take a look at the specific tutorials!

1. In order to get better results, I gave up using the coins I used when folding and replaced them with A4 paper. A4 paper was not suitable for folding this fish. It was too soft and it was not folded halfway. It was folded, but after replacing it with larger paper, it could barely withstand the number of folds. Therefore, in order to ensure that it is not broken and has an atmospheric effect, I used two pieces of A4 paper and spliced ??them to the size of A3 paper. The picture below shows the paper raw materials:

Since it is a "Dollar Carp", the pattern of one dollar is essential. After all, the finished product depends on the pattern on it. So I printed it on both sides of A4 paper and enlarged and printed the dollar pattern I downloaded online. The original color didn't look good on A4 paper, so I changed it to a festive rose red. Its hard to tell the size from the photo, so I put a stick of solid glue as a reference size. You can probably imagine how big two pieces of A4 paper are.

2. Next, start folding the creases:

Then start using solid glue to shape it. After all, if A4 paper is not shaped, it will fall apart after folding.

Okay, let’s take a look at the improvements

Improvements:

1. Fishs barbels: The original work is a very wide and flat piece. Viewed from the front, there is no barbel shape. I folded this piece in half again and made it into a thin strip (must be fixed with glue), which is closer to the real carp. If you add a beard and make it into an "S" shape, it will be more vivid.

2. Fish Tail: Curling it into a wavy shape can also make the carp more lively.

3. Size: The original coin folded, the finished product is only about 5 cm in size and can only be played in the palm of the hand; now I use A3 size paper to fold it, the finished product is 20 cm long and can be directly glued to the wall. Three-dimensional wall hanging.
