Here’s how to fold a plump box crane.

Alongside the origami crane, there is also the box crane.

It has short wings and is a plump, adorable crane.

It’s so cute that I ended up folding several of them using different origami paper.

Folding a single box crane from a single sheet of origami paper is nice, but I made cuts in the paper and folded four box cranes from a single sheet.

They turned out compact and even cuter.

Folding Instructions

This time, I used origami paper that is pink on the front and light blue on the back.

First, fold it into a square twice.

Unfold it, then fold it into a triangle twice.

Open along the fold line in the center of the triangle to form a square.

Flip it over, open the other side, and form a square.

Place the fluttering side facing down.

Fold one layer up.

Fold along the dotted line.

Fold it in half again.

Fold the other side the same way.

Turn over.

Fold it in half lengthwise to form the neck and tail.

Just fold the beak, and you’re done.

A set of four box cranes

For example, let’s say there’s a box like this.

When I opened the box,

A small paper crane came out of the box.

By the way, the one on top is a box crane, and the one on the bottom is a paper crane.

I made these using the same 15 cm × 15 cm sheet of origami paper.

There’s quite a difference in size.

Make a cut in the origami.

The part that connects will vary depending on which direction you fold.

In any case, we recommend using thicker origami paper.

I accidentally cut off just one feather.

I thought it would be safer to cut without making the slits too deep, weave it together first, and then make additional slits later.

Of course, since the slits are shallow, it does make it harder to fold.
