Turn over the whole paper so you see a full rectangle, with two little triangles sticking out.Flatten the pattern by bringing the short edge toward the middle, spreading the corners out on each side to form a triangular flap on each side.Fold the long sides to the middle again, but instead of folding all the way to the end, stop when you get to the diagonal creases in the corners.On one end of the rectangle, fold the corners in until they reach the middle crease.Fold each long side of the paper so that their edges reach the crease in middle.Fold the paper in half along the longer side.In other words, if the paper is 6 inches wide it should be 4 inches long for 9 inches wide cut it to 6 inches long etc. The sides of the paper should have a ratio of 1:1.5. Prepare a colored paper for the koi fish craft.
