Paper Cranes

Seen paper cranes everywhere and think, "oh... so pretty... but much too hard to make."
well I am here to tell you that paper cranes are actually SO easy to make. And here's how:

Fold a piece of SQUARE paper in half so it makes a triangle shape. Unfold and do the same on the other corner.

Unfold again, fold the paper in half so it makes a rectangle, unfold and do the same for the other side.

This step is kind of confusing...

While the paper is folded in a rectangle, hold it in the corners so the open side is facing up. Push the two corners together to make a cross shape. Fold it down so it makes a square.

Make sure that the opening side is facing toward you.

Fold the corner parts in so the meet the middle line. See picture for reference.

There should be a small triangle at the top. Fold that triangle back and forward to create a crease.

Open up the two flaps on one side and open the triangle. fold the sides in so they meet the middle crease. Do this for both sides.

There should be a pair of 'legs' on one end. On that end, fold in the sides on both sides.

Open up the side and push the bottom up. Do this for both sides. fold down the wings and the face and you are done!
