If you make this model while folding a paper along the dotted lines, it will get harder to make it.
Therefore, cut the paper on the dotted lines as well.

Cut the paper while referencing the diagram.

This is an enlarged picture.

I used a 17.5×17.5cm paper.
I left about 2mm for the length of the connecting part.

Make sure the direction of each crane

Make cranes so that the yellow lines are changed to wings.


After making sure the direction of each crane, make the model – Nunozarashi.

In the next pages, there is how to make the model.
If you try to make it by yourself, I recommend that you don’t look at the next page!
