Simple Fish by Nick Robinson

A development of a traditional design, this is a simple but instantly recognizable fish.

1 White side up, fold in half, and then unfold.

2 Make a small pinch to mark the center point.

3 Fold the upper edge to the pinch, crease and unfold.

4 Fold left and right edges to the vertical center. Turn the paper over.

5 Fold the top corners to the vertical center crease, and then unfold. Turn the paper over.

6 Unfold the flaps, but don’t flatten the paper.

7 Fold the sides inward, at the same time fold down the top center point. All the creases are already there.

8 Fold the lower left corner inward.

9 Fold the corner to the pinch mark.

10 Fold a single flap to the right.

11 Repeat steps 9–10 on the right.

12 The model so far. Turn the paper over.

13 Fold a corner inward. Rotate the paper.

14 Fold over the corner.

15 Lift the flap and squash it open.

16 The eye is complete.
