Origami Crane Pin

Video Transcript

"In this clip, I will show you how to make a crane pin. For this project you will need paper for your crane. It's a three-inch paper. Again, the smaller you go, the more difficult it is, so practice with a regular sheet of paper first. You will need a stickpin, which can be bought at any craft store, stickpin and clutch. You will need needles; you will need a needle-nose plier, clothespins, glue, and glue stick, a paintbrush, and varnish. I use Liquitex, the gloss medium. Okay, starting with a bird base already made, well let's do the stickpin first. Take your needle-nose, and at the very end where the blunt end is, take your needle-nose, and bend your stickpin ninety degree angle so that it lies flat, like this; there's a ninety degree angle up. Now take your glue, and your bird base, and for one of the petal bases glue the petal base shut."
