This is hands down the most beautiful tutorial I have seen on Whip Up. I love the stop motion video!

Your Koi is amazing!!! I had a go and managed to make one but i was struggling
a little with the fins because i never have enough paper!! Please could you tell me the exact measurements of the paper you are using. This would really be helpful for me,
i appreciate your help.
thank you

I tried this, and came pretty close to having a fish at the end. I made it until there were 37 seconds left in the video. But the last few tiny folds (to make the belly taper down into the tail) went by too fast. I tried to improvise… The result looks like a cylinder with fins. I would love a more detailed, slow-motion video of the last few steps.

For my first try, i used a 2″ square piece of paper–way too small! Moved up to 5″ square, which was MUCH easier to work with.
