"So first fold your sheet of paper, divide it accordingly so that you will have four sections, and each section has the necessary creases for a preliminary base. And here I have one that is already folded, and I cut it from the inside out, so it will become something like this. And for each of these fold your preliminary base and from the preliminary base fold your crane base. Now this is, I believe, a rather simple model to fold, however, it does require patience and gentle folding especially at the connecting points. So once you have folded the preliminary base, and the bird bases, and the crane base, folding the sides in, then you can start opening it and doing the inside reverse fold, like this. And eventually what you will have, this is one of the cranes, fold up the inside reverse fold for the tail. And eventually what you will have is a ring of cranes."
