I love folding origami cranes. I am convinced that I have made hundreds of them, big and tiny! I finally decided it was time for me to photograph and create a short step-by-step tutorial on how to made one, despite the numerous versions of tutorials already out there. Below are pictures of each folding process. To view the photo in its larger size, simply click on the photo you wish to see in more detail. I hope these photos will help you as you make your very own origami crane. For an animation video of one being made please visit my post: The Art of Origami
All you need is:
- A thin piece of square colored paper (or origami paper)
- Your hands
