A goldfish with a cute shape
Among origami goldfish, this one is relatively easy to fold.
First, fold the paper in half along the diagonal, then bring the bottom corner up to the center.
After that, the folding method is somewhat similar to making a samurai helmet.
If you use patterned paper with a gradient, it creates a lovely effect.
It looks nice as is, but adding eyes can make it even cuter.
Make goldfish in various colors and stick them on a wall or on light-blue construction paper—they’ll look adorable.
Give it a try!
A goldfish you can make from a single sheet of origami paper
So cute—it’s like the goldfish is looking right at you! Here’s an idea for a goldfish you can make from a single sheet of origami paper.
You’ll need origami paper in your favorite color, 8 mm round stickers, glue, a pen, and a toothpick.
It’s fun to fold, and it’s also fun to draw the facial expression and add your own design once it’s finished! There are a few steps that are tricky to fold with your fingers, but using a pointed tool like a toothpick makes it easier.
Definitely try making one and display it in your room.
strawberry candy
Let’s make the dreamy dessert you see at festivals and fruit shops! Here are some ideas for strawberry candy apples (candied strawberries).
You’ll need three pieces of red origami cut into quarter-size squares, pale orange or brown origami, glue or double-sided tape, and pens or colored pencils.
Let’s make these popular candied strawberries out of origami—they look adorable, and the crisp texture when you eat them is part of the fun.
It’s best to start by making them together with a parent or teacher so you can feel confident.
Give it a try!

Let’s make an angelfish with a cute, colorful triangular shape! First, fold the origami paper into a triangle twice to make creases, then open it once.
Fold the left corner up along the center line, flip it over, and fold the opposite corner up along the center line as well.
The inside of the lower edge of the triangle will open, so open it and gently squash-fold.
Fold the top and bottom flaps so they overlap in the middle, flip it over, and you’re done! Feel free to draw the eyes and scales.
If you hang it with fishing line, it will look like it’s swimming around your room—super cute!
Goldfish you can make in 3 minutes
When summer comes, you feel like folding a cool-looking goldfish out of origami, don’t you? This goldfish is simple and takes about three minutes to make, so please give it a try.
The folding method is very similar to the samurai helmet (kabuto).
Instead of folding the horn parts of the kabuto, imagine folding back the part that goes over the head in the opposite direction.
After that, rotate the origami 90 degrees and fold it back the other way, then cut open and spread out the tail section.
Be careful not to cut your hands when using scissors.
Finish by drawing a cute face.
A goldfish you can make by folding six times
This goldfish is one of the easiest origami goldfish to make.
Most goldfish origami usually starts by folding into a triangle, but this one is a bit unconventional because it begins with a square fold.
First, fold the paper in half to make a rectangle, then fold it diagonally along the diagonal.
After that, fold down the white section—this will become the tail fin.
Then make a small fold for the head, and it’s already done.
It’s an avant-garde style of origami, almost like a painting by Matisse or Picasso.

A quirky shark that bends! Here’s how to fold a shark using a single sheet of origami paper.
You’ll need one sheet of origami paper in your favorite color and some decorations for the eyes and mouth.
First, fold the paper into a triangle twice.
Using the corner as a pivot, fold one corner up to the center, then fold the tip down along the crease.
Repeat the same steps on the other side, layering the folds.
Finish by decorating the shark’s eyes and mouth, and you’re done.
It’s also cute if kids draw the eyes and mouth with crayons, so that’s recommended!
