Materials for make koinobori kite Tissue Paper or Crepe Paper Scissors Colored makers Glue or Glue Stick One-hole punch Yarn or string 1 stick, or small wooden pole about 2 feet long 9. How to make koinobori 10. 1 In 3-4 colours, cut out several circles of tissue paper, approx 1.5 inches in diameter, then cut them in half to make semi circles. Place a piece of double sided tape all the way around the bottom of your toilet paper roll. Start placing the straight edge of each semi circle on the double sided tape, overlapping slightly so no roll shows underneath Ensure the curved end of the semi circle hangs off the roll so it isnt attached. This end will be the fishs tail. Complete all the way around. 2 Leaving a 5cm gap, place another strip of double sided tape around the roll and repeat with the semi circles. The colour order doesnt matter much, just do what you think looks good. You will have to overlap a fair bit and not all the ends will be taped down. Leave them. The next layer should cover them. 3 Repeat all the way to the top, making sure you finish with the tape and half circles around the very top of the roll. This is the head. At this point if there are any half circles that are still sticking up, use double sided tape to stick them down. 4 Cut out a circle with white paper (approx. 1 inch in diameter) then use a black marker to draw a large circle inside for the eye. Use double sided tape to stick onto the side of the head. 11. 5 Cut strips of tissue paper using the same colours as your semi circles. At the tail end, carefully place a piece of double sided tape inside, along the bottom of the roll. One by one, stick a long piece of tissue paper to the tape, going all the way around until its covered. 6 Trim any ends if necessary so theyre about the same length. Repeat steps 1-6 to make two more carp. 7 Cut three pieces of twine about 7 inches long. Double knot each one onto your dowel, making sure the ends are even. 8 Place a piece of double sided tape inside the roll on the head side, opposite the eye. Starting with the top knotted twine on the dowel, secure the loose ends onto the double sided tape inside the roll. If you plan to swing this koinobori around, use hot glue instead, or place another piece of tape on top the twine. 9 Repeat on the opposite side, just behind the eye. Repeat for the next two carp. 12. When the paint and glue are dry, you can hang your Koinobori outside. Japanese families fly Koinobori in front of their homes to make a wish that their children will be strong and healthy like the carp. 13.

"Ori" is the Japanese word for folding and "kami" is the Japanese word for paper. 20. The Origins of Origami. . . Although Origami is known as a Japanese Art, it actually began in China. The Chinese invented paper around 100 A.D., and when the invention spread to Japan around 600 A.D., so did the art of paper folding. 21. The History of Origami In ancient times, Origami could only be used for special occasions because the paper was scarce. The figures made from origami were shaped like animals, costumed people, and ceremonial designs that had special meanings to them. The constructions were done using a single sheet of colored paper that was often, though not always, square. There were no directions back then. None of the folding instructions were ever written down for the models. They were passed down by generation through learning and practicing. The art of paper folding was not called Origami until the end of the nineteenth century. By the 1950s origami gained popularity from world famous origami artist Akira Yoshizawa (1911-2005). 22. First Book on Origami The first known book on how to make an origami object was written in 1797 and is called The Secret of One Thousand Cranes Origami (Hiden Senbazuru Orikata) Pictured to the left are pages from The Secret of One Thousand Cranes Origami.. 23. Akira Yoshizawa (1911-2005) He is considered to be the grandmaster of origami for developing origami as a creative art and creating many new folding styles.Pictured above are pages from Dokuhon, Vol.1 24.
