Ok. So here we go with our first origami which is a paper crane. There is a legend concerning the origami crane. This states that if someone makes one thousand cranes, their wish will be granted. This is the most classic of all origami and everyone should learn how to fold it.
Below is our end product:
Even though this is one of the most famous and popular origami, it is not the easiest for beginners. Beginners who are not familiar with the inside reverse fold may find it challenging. Others who are familiar with the reverse fold will say that this origami is super easy!
The inside reverse fold is a technique commonly used in origami. This fold is used a few times in the origami crane. Initially, you may find it difficult or even frustrating but with practice, it should become easier.

Origami Paper Crane Step 3: Flip paper over.
Origami Paper Crane Step 4: Now fold both sides to the middle.
Origami Paper Crane Step 5: We're now going to make inside reverse folds. This is a commonly used technique in origami. To do so, we need to first make a diagonal crease. We'll start with the right side.
Make sure the paper is well-creased on both sides.
Origami Paper Crane Step 6: The crease allow us to actually make the inside reverse fold. Lift up the bottom tip and tuck it<strong> in between</strong> the 2 sides of paper. Press paper flat.
Origami Paper Crane Step 7: Now repeat Steps 5 and 6 for the right side to form the "neck" of the crane. Crease the paper and make the inside reverse fold.
Origami Paper Crane Step 8: Make one more inside reverse fold to form the head of the crane.
Origami Paper Crane Step 9: Almost there. Fold down the wings.
Pull the wings gently apart to open up and flatten the middle "hump" of the origami crane.
And your origami crane is complete! We've completed the first one. Congratulations. Here is the full video showing the same, if you missed anything.
