First, fold along the diagonal.

Next, fold the four corners toward the center.

Leave the top one and put the other three corners back in place.

Fold the bottom corner to meet the top circle.

Next, fold the right side in half and unfold it.

Similarly, crease the remaining corners and open them up.

Let’s get started with the assembly.

Fold the line to the left.

When doing so, fold the dotted triangle inward.

Fold along the dotted lines, folding the edges inward.

Similarly, fold it three more times.

We now have all four flaps.

Now that we’ve gotten this far, all that’s left is to fold them down.

Let’s fold them clockwise.

Finally, slide the lid into place.

First, align the top and bottom corners with the center line and fold them.

Next, flip it over.

Fold it right in the middle.

Fold the corner marked with a circle straight to the right.

Here, I’ve folded it in half.

Next, open the bottom section to the right.

Once you open it, fold it in half.

Open the small triangle in the middle and fold it.

By the way, this part will become the wing.

Fold it in half to create a crease.

Then, open it up and fold it upward.

Next, fold it into a diamond shape.

The wing section is complete.

Make creases along the diamond shape.。

Fold it in half again along the crease.

Fold both sides of the flat surface.

Fold down the dotted line.

Fold down the other side as well.

After folding it down, return it to the side with the flaps.

Fold along the dotted line, making sure the fold lies underneath the flap.

Fold the other side in the same way.

Fold the parts that will become the neck and tail in half.

Finally, fold the neck in half, and you’re done.

First, fold the paper into a triangle twice.

Up to this point, the folding method is the same as for a paper crane.

Open the triangle you’ve made, then fold it into a square.

Fold the back side into a square as well.

Make a crease along the dotted line, then open it up.

Here, make a crease on only one side, leaving the other side flat.

Open only one side.

The opened part becomes the crane’s neck.

The unopened back side becomes a fan.

Flip it over.

Fold the right corner marked with a circle to the left.

Fold along the dotted line, then unfold.

Once you’ve opened it, fold the left corner marked with a circle over to the right.

Then, fold the opposite side in the same way.

As shown by the dotted lines, fold along the center and crease both sides.

First, let’s smooth out the fold on the left.

Open the crease and fold it.

Then, fold it in half.

Next, fold the right pleat in the same way.

Then fold the remaining two pleats.

You’ll fold it a total of four times.

Keep flipping until the red side appears, then fold it up.

Fold it in half.

Next, fold the neck of the crane.

Fold the corners around the circle.

Here is the view from below and the view from above.

Fold it like a fan and make a slit down the middle.

Then, make a slit down the middle to form the beak.

Let’s get started and make the folds.

First, fold it into a square, then fold it into a triangle.

Next, fold both sides toward the center line.

Next, fold the four corners toward the center.

This is commonly known as the “cushion fold.”

Open it up, then fold the bottom corner so that it aligns with the corner marked with a red circle at the top.

Similarly, crease the remaining three corners.

Did you make four folds?

Now, let’s flip the origami over.

Next, make a fold along the dotted line.

Please bear with me a little longer.

That completes the creasing.

Flip it over and fold along the dotted line.

Next, it’s finally time to assemble it.

Align the part that looks like a house—or, to some, a short pencil—so that the two halves fit together.

Once you’ve aligned them, look at the outside.
Align the two triangles facing each other.

Next, join the small triangles together.
This will reveal the corners of the box.

On top of the corner you just made, there is a house shape.
Fold this in half.

Then just repeat the same steps.

Even if you follow the same folding instructions, the last corner is always the hardest to fold.

I’m looking for the shape of the house, the outer triangle, and the small triangle that forms next.

Here, I’ve folded the house shape in half.
Next, bring the outer triangles together.
And now, the small triangle.

And that’s it!
How did it go? Did it work out?
Once you’re done, you can say, “I did it!”
Or maybe “All right!” would work too.
Let’s savor the moment.
