I was trying to figure out how to make the scales easily on sausage koinobori.

I use 1 whole wiener sausage, but you can also slice it in half lengthwise to make 2 koinobori out of 1. For 2 koinobori (flying carp). Recipe by momo**

Steps

1

Cut a straw in half, and cut one of the halves in half again.
2

Bake the strand of pasta in a toaster oven until golden brown.
3

Make cuts in the sausage with the straw bits. You only need to make shallow cuts. Make any straight cuts with a knife.
4

This is how it looks after boiling for 1 minute.
5

Cut either end of the sausage while seeing how well balanced it is.
6

Make small cuts for the eyes with a round uncut straw.
7

Use one of the cut straws to dig out the eye holes.
8

Cut out the sliced cheese using the round uncut straw.
9

Insert the cheese into the sausage eye sockets.
10

Pierce the sausage with the baked pasta, and decorate with the corn kernel. A pick would be cute too.
11

Punch out the eye pupils from nori seaweed using a nori punch, and stick onto the cheese.
