Make Your Very Own Flying Origami Crane
Follow these simple steps:
|
 |
 |
 |
1&2. Using a square piece of paper fold away on the dashed line, and forwards on the dot-dashed line.
|
3. Now fold along all three creases at once.
|
 |
 |
 |
4. Fold two edges in, to form a kite-shape on top.
|
5. Do the same thing on the other side.
|
6. Undo the folds you made in steps 4 and 5. Pull the bottom corner (top layer only) up to the top corner. Fold along the creases you made in steps 6 and 7.
|
 |
 |
 |
7. Pull the bottom corner (top layer only) up above the top corner. Fold along the creases you made in steps 4 and 5.
|
8. Do the same thing on the other side. The top flaps are the wings and the bottom flaps are the neck and tail.
|
9. Fold two edges in, as in step 4. This makes the neck and tail thinner.
|
 |
 |
 |
10. Do the same thing on the other side.
|
11. Fold the top right flap over along the centerline to lay on top of the left flap like turning the page of a book. Repeat behind.
|
12. Fold up the neck and the tail as far as you can.
|
 |
 |
|
13. Fold the head down.
|
14. Repeat step 11.
|
15. Pull the neck and tail out and down a so they are not vertical.
|
 |
 |
 |
16. Pull the head out and up so it's not parallel to the neck.
|
17. Pull the wings straight out from the body so that the body inflates or you can blow through a hole in the underside.
|
Finished!
