So what are you waiting for? Follow our instructions below to get started on your first crane!
Start with the bird base, below left. Fold the outside corners to the middle, as shown.
Flip the piece over and repeat the fold. Now crease each lower "leg" of the piece as shown, in preparation for reverse folds.
Using the reverse fold, make the neck and tail of the crane.
Use a reverse fold to make the head of the crane. Now fold the wings down, one at a time.
Almost there. Pull the wings gently apart to open up the crane, and push down on the back of the bird to flatten it a bit.
Now you're ready for the next nine-hundred and ninety-nine cranes!
