Origami Blog: How to Make An Origami Crane


Step 1: First get a normal sheet of printer paper and make it into a square piece of paper. 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 Fold it in half to make a triangle. Do a reverse fold going inward on the triangle. 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: Unfold the Sides that you just folded making it turn back into a small diamond. Now you are going to do a petal fold on the diamond. Bring one flap upwards, so a pocket is made. You are then going to fold the sides of the pocket downwards so it makes a long diamond. Do that to the other side. Fold every bottom side of the diamond towards the middle so the bottom of the diamond is skinnier then the top. Turn the diamond to its side, so it looks flat for you. Then unfold the side facing you making it flat the other way. When the side is flat fold it upwards until it cant go any higher. When you have finished that fold it back in half. Do that same process to the other side. Choose the side that you want to be the head, and do a reverse fold on the tip of the piece making it look like a head. Grab the piece opposite to the head a push it further to its corresponding side. That will make the cranes tail. Finally fold the flaps downwards that are separating the head from the tail. There you have it you have just finished you origami crane.
