Once you fold it in half here, you’re done folding the wings.

Next, fold the wings on the other side in the same way.

Make the neck.

Fold along the dotted line toward the inside.

Then, fold the head in half.

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

Next, flip it over.

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.

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.

First, fold it in half vertically to form a triangle.

If you open it up, fold it in half horizontally, and mark only the center, it will fold neatly.

Next, fold the left and right sides toward the center and flip it over.

Next, fold one side along the center line.

When doing this, do not crease

the triangle that is on the bottom.

Fold the other side in the same way.

Now, let’s align the triangle on the right with the one on the left.

Once you’ve aligned them, fold only the top triangle in half toward the center line.

Next, align the red sides and fold it in half.

Once folded, fold it over to the right.

Fold it in half again.

Then half of the noshi appeared.

Fold the left half over to the right side and fold it in the same way.

Next, fold the star-shaped mark onto the other star-shaped mark.

Now let’s fold it into a cross.

Fold it left and right to form a cross.

Next, fold it so that the red line is on the inside.

A square for making a crane has appeared.

Fold the left and right sides toward the center.

Once you’ve made the creases, open it up.

Then, as you fold it upward, align the left and right sides.

Then, fold the right side over to the left to form the neck.

Pull the neck down to create an angle.

Then fold the beak.

Fold the top part back.

Here are the finished gift envelopes featuring a noshi and a crane.

First, fold the paper into a triangle twice, then unfold it.

Next, align the two corners with the center and fold them down.

Fold it again, aligning it with the center.

Fold it in half so that the vertical center line aligns with the horizontal center line.

Fold the other side in the same way.

Next, fold down along the dotted line.

You’ve made a triangle.

Fold it back to its original shape.

Fold along one of the dotted lines and unfold it, then do the same on the other side.

Next, fold it inward so that the lines align.

The square that will form the base of the crane is now complete.

Align the two sides with the center, fold them, and open them up.

Let’s open it at the top.

Make the neck and tail.

Fold the neck and tail upward.

Fold it up, twisting it as you go.

Finally, fold the top part back.

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.

First, we’ll make some creases.

Fold it in half both vertically and horizontally.

Next, make a crease at the one-quarter mark along both the vertical and horizontal edges.

Then, fold the corners toward the center.

Unfold the creased triangle.

Fold the left side.

Fold along the white line.

Next, fold the other side as well.

If you fold along the creases, a square will form.

Next, use the square you’ve made to fold a crane.

Fold along the dotted line and open it.

Then fold the left and right sides in half to form the neck and tail.

Fold back the corners of the square to create creases.

Next, press the corner marked with a star and flip it over.

I just flipped it over.

Pull the neck and tail, which are on the inside, out to the outside.

It’s like flipping it inside out.

Cut it with scissors and fold the beak.

By the way, I was able to fold the beak without cutting it.

Now, flip it upside down to create a space for wrapping.

Make a crease while checking the balance on both sides, then unfold it.

Fold the bottom corner so that it doesn’t stick out of the envelope.

Fold it up again.

Fold the left and right sides.

First, make a crease.

Make a crease as shown on the right.

Next, align the corner with the center, crease it, and fold it back.

Fold the left side.

Next, fold along the creases.

When you fold down the right side as well, a square will form.

We’ll use this square to make a crane.

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.

First, fold the left side, then fold the top.

Now, fold it in half.

Fold it back to the halfway point of the crane.

Unfold it and refold it.

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.
