Fish Base

A Fish Base is the starting point for many fish models or other designs that require two opposing points.

Fish bases are usually created by building on a Waterbomb base, and produces two symmetrical flaps that extend in opposite directions.

The key to folding a good Fish Base is accurate pre-creasing, and as always taking your time while flattening the layers.

1 Step 1
Start with a square of paper, white side up, and perform a valley fold from corner to corner
2 Step 2
Valley fold the angle bisector to the centre, and then unfold this
3 Step 3
Repeat this on the other angle bisector
4 Step 4
Create a Rabbit Ear fold to complete the first half of the base
5 Step 5
We're now going to repeat this on the other side. Fold and unfold the first angle bisector
6 Step 6
Fold and unfold the final angle bisector
7 Step 7
Perform another Rabbit Ear fold to complete the second half
