This is a diagram that I drew new dotted lines.
Preparation of an origami paper
【Size】
a 17.5×17.5cm paper or it is bigger than 17.5cm.
【Kinds】
・Basic origami paper
・Double sided origami paper
・Washi paper
I made this model with a 17.5×17.5cm basic origami paper.
The length of a small square is one fifth of original length.
If you use a big paper, it will get easier to make this model.
In order to draw a line, prepare a pencil and a ruler as well!
(１)
Draw a line at one fifth from the top.
If you use a 17.5×17.5cm paper,
one fifth is 3.5cm.
(17.5÷5＝3.5cm)
If you use a 26x26cm paper,
one fifth is 5.2cm.
(26÷5＝5.2cm)
(２)
After drawing a line, cut the paper on the line that you have drawn.
(３)
After cutting the paper, it looks like this picture.
(４)
Then fold the paper diagonally to make a crease at the dotted line.
(５)
Fold the paper like this picture.
Then turn it over as it is.
(６)
Put the paper like this picture.
Then fold the right to the left to make a crease at the dotted line.
(Fold the right to the left along an edge of a triangle.)
(７)
Fold the paper like this picture.
(８)
This picture is taken from the back.
Fold the paper along an edge of a triangle like this picture.
After making a crease, unfold the paper.
(９)
Put the paper like this picture.
Then fold it in half horizontally.
(１０)
Fold the paper like this picture.
After making a crease, unfold it.
(１１)
Fold the top and the bottom to the middle to make creases at the dotted lines.
(１２)
It is better not to make creases, which will not be used, as much as possible.
By not making creases which will not be used, completed cranes will be more beautiful.
Therefore, when making creases at the green dotted lines, try not to make creases at the blue lines.
(１３)
Fold the bottom to the middle like this picture.
(１４)
Then fold the top to the middle like this picture.
After making creases, unfold the paper.
(１５)
Fold the left edge to the green line, which you have made a crease, to make a crease at the dotted line.
(１６)
Fold the paper like this picture.
After making a crease, unfold it.
(１７)
Fold the top left and the bottom left to the green line, which you have made a crease, to make creases at the dotted lines.
(１８)
Fold the paper like this picture.
After making creases, unfold it.
(１９)
Fold the bottom right to the green line, which you have made a crease, to make a crease at the dotted line.
(２０)
After folding the paper like this picture, unfold it.
(２１)
Fold the top right to the green line, which you have made a crease, to make a crease at the dotted line.
(２２)
After folding the paper like this picture, unfold it.
(２３)
After making creases, it looks like this picture.
Preparing an origami paper is completed!
