You Will Need
- A square of origami paper folded into a Bird Base
- A flat surface
Step 1: Position Bird Base
Position the Bird Base so that there are separate right and left flaps on the bottom. These flaps will be the tail and neck of the bird.
Step 2: Fold the right flap to the center edge
Narrow the top layer of the right flap by folding its outer edge to meet the center vertical edge.
Step 3: Fold the left flap to the center edge
Narrow the top layer of the left flap by folding its outer edge to meet the center vertical edge.
Step 4: Flip the model over and repeat
Turn the model over and repeat, narrowing the remaining layer of the right and left flaps on the other side.
Step 5: Fold entire right layer over
Fold the entire top right layer over to the left side, along the center vertical.
Step 6: Flip the model over and repeat
Turn the model over and repeat, folding the top right layer over to the right side, along the center vertical.
Step 7: Fold the bottom flap up
Fold the top layer of the long pointed bottom flap all the way up to the top. This forms the tail.
Step 8: Flip the model and repeat
Turn the model over and repeat, folding the remaining long pointed bottom flap all the way up to the top. This forms the neck.
Step 9: Fold head
Fold the tip of the neck in on itself to form a head.
Step 10: Fold left layer over
Fold the top left layer over to the right side, along the center vertical.
Step 11: Flip model over and repeat
Turn the model over and repeat, folding the top left layer over to the right side, along the center vertical.
Step 12: Pull tail down
Pick up the model and hold it in the middle along the bottom. With your other hand, reach in between the layers and pull the tail down and out to a pleasing angle.
Step 13: Repeat to pull neck down
Repeat on the other end to form the neck, and pull out the head.
Step 14: Fan the wings
Gently spread apart the wing flaps, allowing the crane’s back to spread open.
Did you know?
An origami crane folded in 2001 in a Japanese stadium had a wingspan of 256.5 feet—nearly the length of a football field.
