This crane is simple, yet so entertaining! All you need is a square sheet of paper. The finished model is above.
1. Take the paper and rotate it so that it’s a diamond facing you.

2. Fold the top down and unfold. Do the same thing horizontally.


3. You should now have a giant “X” in your sheet.

4. Flip the paper over to the other side and fold down horizontally.

5. Unfold.

6. Fold the paper vertically.

7. Take the corners and push them together. It should look like the picture below.

8. Flatten the whole thing.

9. Take the right edge and line it up with the crease in the middle(top layer only!). Do the same with the left.

10. Flip it around, do the same thing on the other side, and fold the tip as far down as you can without folding past the flaps you just made.

11. Take the flaps out from under the tip (they’ll have 2 layers) and lift the top layer.

12. Bring the tip of the diamond as far back as it will go and flatten. Do the same for the opposite side.


13. a. Fold the left top layer over to the right, b. fold the bottom layer up, and c. fold the tip down to make the beak.


14. Fold the right layer back to the left. This time, fold two layers over and repeat step 13 b.


15. Fold the left layer back to the right, pull out the head and tail, and finally, pinch the base of the crane’s neck and pull the tail. Voila! If it doesn’t flap, fold the wings down once and fold them back up to kind of loosen them, and it’ll be ready to go and flap at your will!!!!!!!!
