How Do You Make A Flying Paper Crane?
There are two main types of origami cranes. The first, more traditional version is made so that the crane body is slightly puffed in the middle, and the paper craft has a nice three-dimensional look that is good for display. The second version is a bit more interactive. Changing a few steps in the folding process leads to a different body shape that allows for the tail to be pulled and the wings to flap to look as though the crane is flying. Make a square base fold. Fold a square piece of paper diagonally into a triangle; then crease and unfold. Repeat, folding perpendicularly to the original fold to make another triangle; then crease and unfold. Turn paper over. Fold the bottom side up to the top, making a rectangle; then crease and unfold. Rotate paper 90 degrees and fold another rectangle. Crease and remain folded. Hold the top corners in each hand, and then bring hands together and put in the left hand; then crease along sides. You have a diamond shape that can open at the top. Tur
