Step 1: First get a normal sheet of printer paper and make it into a square piece of paper. If you don't know how to make the printer paper square check back on one of my older origami blogs. Fold the square piece of paper in half both ways. Your paper should have a plus going through the paper, and a a line going through the middle. Now turn the paper so it looks like a diamond, and do a reverse fold going inward. This will take out on of the corners in the paper. Now do the same thing to the other corner.
Step 2: Now fold each of the flaps towards the middle on there respected side. Fold the triangle at the top of the paper downwards. Now unfold each of the flaps so the paper would look like a smaller diamond. Fold the layer that is facing you forwards. This will make a small bowl shape. Press down on this bowl making a thin diamond. Now do the same thing to the next layer.
Step 3: Turn the diamond so the flat parts face sideways. Grab the fold facing you and bring it upwards attaching it to the other folds. Make sure when you fold this part it has to be on a slight angle. Do the same process to the other side. Do a reverse fold to one of the side that you want to become the head. Then push down the small triangle made from the mountain fold making the head. Now there would be a line going diagonally under the wings. Fold the wings so it folds on that line. At the bottom of the crane fold the two flaps in opposite directions so the crane would stand. To make the crane flap its wings pull on the tail pulling outwards. You are now done with your origami flapping crane.
