STEP 3: Take your fish shape and over lap the tail ends between your finger and thumb.

STEP 4: Cut 3/4 of the way up on each piece and slide them into each other.

STEP 5: Push the paper down from the middle and a bow shape should form.

STEP 6: Take a second smaller strip of paper and wrap it around the middle.

STEP 7: Stick the back of the bow down on to your wrapped gift with sticky tape. And you’re done.
