Origami Angelfish Step 1: Start with a square 6" x 6" (15cm x 15cm) origami paper color side down.

Do use an Animal Print Origami Paper like we did to make your origami extra special.

Make a fold on the dash line as shown. Crease well and unfold. Alternatively, make a waterbomb base and skip to Step 7.
