Pasos a seguir

Tear stripes of metallized paper and glue them in colored paper sheets. Wait until it is dried and do the same in the other side. Fold the sheets in two and draw half fish. Cut out the fishes.

Bend the fishes in two, in a longitudinal way and then in four, as in the photo.

Unfold the fish once and make cuts around the fish, taking care not to go above the line of the superior fold.

Open the fish completely. Bend a central band on each direction. Make a hole in the top of each fish. Thread a nylon thread in the through the holes and tie two fishes to each brochette.

Tie the brochettes one to the other so the mobile is balanced.
