Align the left and right corners of the small square with the center and crease them.

Open up this square and flatten it.

Then, fold both sides in half.

Push the paper to one side to make it easier to cut.

Next, make a slit at the bottom to form the neck and tail.

Fold up the neck and tail.

Next, fold the beak.

Now you have the main part of the crane.

Fold the left side.

Fold the left edge to the desired size.

It should be about 2 centimeters.

Then, open the left and top edges and refold the paper.

Unfold the left side and fold down the bottom part.

Fold the left side and unfold the right side.

Fold the bottom part again and bring the right side back.

Insert the top section into the folded edges at the bottom.

By the way, if you’re putting in New Year’s money or similar items, this is the time to do it.

Then, make creases to divide it into roughly three equal parts.

Next, make a crease at the center of the right fold to use as a guide.

Fold the left side.

Then, align the center line with the fold on the right and fold it.

Make a cut all the way to the center at the top, and leave a gap of 1 or 2 centimeters from the center at the bottom.

Next, align the star marks and fold.

A triangle has appeared.

Fold along the dotted line.

Then, a square will appear.

Now, let’s fold this square into a crane.

Open it one page up.

Next, fold both sides to form the neck and tail.

Next, fold the neck and tail upward.

Fold the neck to form the beak.

The crane is done.

Now, let’s flip it over.

Fold the bottom, then fold the top.

Finally, insert the top part into the star-shaped notch at the bottom.
