Mizuhiki Ribbon Fish

This cute little fish design originated in Thailand and were originally made with the flat and flexible leaf of the palm plant. When it was introduced in Asia, a polyester ribbon was used instead of the plant. Mizuhiki ribbon is much stiffer than the leaves or polyester ribbon and will make a strong and durable fish for many decorative uses. In this project, orange was used, but you can make your fish any color!
