Introduction
折り紙 (origami) is the traditional Japanese art of paper folding, which dates back to the 17th century. It is not only a popular pastime in Japan, but also around the world. One of the most popular origami designs is the 金魚 (goldfish), which is often folded in 2D form. However, have you ever tried making a 3D version of this iconic fish? In this article, we will show you how to create a 金魚 立体 (3D goldfish) using origami techniques.
Materials Needed
To fold a 3D goldfish, you will need the following materials:
- Square origami paper (15cm x 15cm)
- Scissors
- Glue
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1
Start with a square origami paper, with the colored side facing down. Fold the paper in half diagonally, crease well, and then unfold.
Step 2
Fold the paper in half diagonally again, but this time, fold it in the opposite direction. Crease well and then unfold.
Step 3
Fold the paper in half vertically, crease well and then unfold.
Step 4
Fold the paper horizontally, crease well, and then unfold.
Step 5
Fold the paper in half diagonally, but only on one side. Crease well and then leave the other side unfolded.
Step 6
Using the creases you have made, bring the top three corners of the model down to the bottom corner. Flatten the model.
Step 7
Fold the left and right corners towards the center, crease well, and then unfold.
Step 8
Fold the top corner of the paper down to the bottom corner. Crease well.
Step 9
Fold the left and right corners towards the center, crease well, and then unfold.
Step 10
Using the creases you have made, bring the left and right corners towards the center, and then flatten the model.
Final Touches
You now have a 3D goldfish! To make it more realistic, you can use scissors to shape the tail and fins, and glue them in place. You can also add details such as eyes and scales using a pen or marker.
Conclusion
Folding a 3D goldfish using origami techniques is not only a fun and relaxing activity, but it also helps improve your concentration and creativity. Give it a try and impress your friends and family with your new origami skills!
