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.
