賀年摺紙 DIY Chinese New Year decor: Ang Pow Koi Fish
Today we are going to make something extremely EASY. It’s so EASY you can even do it in your sleep :P
Here’s the tutorial video:
Ang Pow Fish you can stick on your walls, windows and every where.
1) For the body, you’ll need to cut open an Ang Pow packet and trace the shape from template.
2) For the tail, do not cut open the Ang Pow. Trace the shape on the Ang Pow. Trace the tail ends at the sealed sides and corners of the red packet, so when the shape is cut the two red sides of the Ang Pow remain held together. I forgot to do that the first time and had to glue them together instead -.-
Print out the above Angpow koi fish template
Cut along the line on each side of the head. Glue as shown above to create a curved head. Repeat on the other side.
Fold sides of the body over the fin and staple.
The Ang Pao Fish is done! Simple right? :)

sorry to ask for the same question,but can i get the template too?
Thanks!
oh, so 3D
Tq!!!!
I have no idea how to curve the head ( i meant to make it 3D). Would you mind showing the detailed instructions? Thank you
There is a line on each side of the head (on the template). Cut along that line and paste to get that 3D effect. I hope that helps.
Here’s the tutorial video for your better understanding:
