(３５)
Move the first crane like this picture.

Then move both sides in the direction of the arrows.

(３６)
Move them like this picture.

Then pinch both sides a little which have been circled to make creases.
A connecting part tear easily.
Therefore, pinch them carefully.

If you pinch tails strongly in the 36th step, dents will become large.
Therefore, pinch tails a little in the step.
