Origami Fish Base
The fish base is often used in origami. This fold forms the basis of most types of fish that can be made from paper. To create it, you need only one sheet. You can use special paper for origami or a printer. The original size is 15×15 cm. It is convenient to work with it. If you need a larger fish, the dimensions can be changed or reduced as desired.
Prepare a sheet of paper.
Fold it in half to the vertical axis. Crease the fold line nicely with your fingers.
Open it again to see the center fold line.
Fold both sides towards the center, starting at the bottom.
Open the paper again.
Now, you need to fold the sides to the center, starting to bend them with the top portion.
Open the paper again and check the resulting folds.
