How to make an Origami Crane

Page 1 of 6

1. Start with a perfectly square sheet of paper
Paper made specifically for origami can be found
at most craft stores. It is usually colored only on
one side. I used a sheet that was colored on both sides.

2. Begin by folding one edge to meet to other,
with the colored side outward...

...to get this.

3. Open up the paper and lay it flat.
Now repeat step 2 in the other direction,
and open up it up again.

4. Fold it diagonally with the white side out (pink here).
Line it up corner to corner...

...to get this.

5. Open up the paper, repeat
step 4 in the other direction, and
open up the paper again.
