How to Make an Origami Crane

Video Transcript

"Today I'm going to show you how to make the Origami piece. My name is Robert Segundo and today I'm going to teach you how to make the origami crane. What we're going to do is, we're going to start off with our bird base here. If you don't know how to make the bird base, look around. I've got some videos out there that show you how to do this. And the reason it's named the bird base is because this is what you do with it. You make, the origami crane with it. What we're going to do is we're going to go ahead and fold these sides down here, actually I'll just leave them up and we're going to take this and we're going to fold it in, corners like so. Because what we're trying to do is we're trying to thin up the neck and the head for the crane. And lets see, actually I should have did this. I should have opened it up, did it on this side, makes a lot more sense. There you go, fold it back over. Then this side up, same thing like so. Now what we're going to do is we're going to take and just kind of crease the cranes neck like so. Now pull it down and give it that shape there and open it up, same thing here. Pull it down and crease the legs there. Basically what you're going to do is just fold down the wings as far as they'll go because they'll stop at the certain point in the back. There you go. Now what we'll do is we'll use this side as the head and just take and do a dog ear fold like so and if you use better paper his nose won't look all disgusting like this one does. But there you have it, your traditional origami crane. Play around with it, have fun and enjoy!"
