Get easier to fold with a 17.5cm paper

How to fold Horai

(22)
Move the paper in the direction of the arrow to make a valley-fold on the top part which a mountain-fold is on.

(23)
If you push the flap with making creases like this picture, it will get easier to make a valley-fold.

(24)
This picture is halfway through.

(25)
Make a valley-fold like this picture.

Then turn the paper over.

(26)
Make the bottom four cranes while folding four flaps in the direction of the arrows.
(in a clockwise direction)

However, if you make one crane while folding one flap, other flaps will be unfolded.
Therefore, fold one flap when making one crane.

(27)
Start with folding the circled part.

In order to get easier to fold a crane, make a mountain-fold on the dotted line.

(28)
Make a mountain-fold like this picture.

(29)
Then make a star-shape while referencing the next step.

(30)
If you make creases of a star-shape near the top crane neatly, connecting parts will be put pressure.

Therefore, make creases until right-before the top crane.
(Try not to make creases near the top crane.)

(31)
After making a star-shape, move the left and right to the center in order to get easier to make a bird-base.

(32)
Move the left and right like this picture.

(33)
Then make a bird-base.

(34)
This picture is halfway through.

(35)
The bird-base is finished.

(36)
This picture is taken from the back side.

Make a bird-base while folding the flap in a clockwise direction like this picture.

(37)
In order to get easier to fold a head/tail, lean the bird-base to the right.

Move it carefully so that connecting parts don’t get pressure.

(38)
Lean the bird-base like this picture.
