Origami Crane Step 41

Step 41: When pressed down your crane should now look like this

Origami Crane Step 42

Step 42: Create the crane’s head by slightly opening the left point and reversing the centre crease so it folds inwards on itself. Fold the point downwards to create the head.

Origami Crane Step 43

Step 43: Fold the crane’s wings downwards and crease in line with the bottom of the inner triangle

Origami Crane Completed

Step 44: Press the peak of the inner triangle down gently to widen the crane’s body.

You’ve completed your first origami crane (orizuru)!

How many more will you fold? In Japan, the individual cranes are often strung along a string so they can be hung from the ceiling. Why not make your cranes in lots of different colours and patterns of paper, so they become a bright and cheerful decoration?
