Little Piranha

IMG_20220515_155511.jpg

I love origami art, and square and rectangle shaped sheets of paper are the most common shapes used for it. I was wondering what other possibilities there could be with a triangle shaped paper, so after trying many ways of folding it, the best result I ended up with was this one: a little piranha.

Supplies

  • 1 square or rectangle of paper, double-sided (minimum 20cm side)
  • 1 Cutter or scissors
  • 1 Tool for Fold (optional)

Cut a Triangle

If you have a square paper, step A.

If you have a rectangle paper, step B.

You should pull out the first layer, note that the paper is moved, it is normal, you can solve this flattening, don't worry if the tail has a gap, we will solve this later. If you have a problem folding the mouth, you can unfold and turn the paper over as it is shown in the picture 4 to adjust it.

Hide the Little Tip From Eye, Fold

The position of the tail is wrong, so, fold a zig zag, turn over the figure and make a little fold to trap the tail.

Do you remember the paper gap? In case you have another color left visible on the tail, make sure to fold one more time in order to hide the mismatch of colors so that its shape can appear neater.
