錦眼鏡/Nishiki-megane
“錦眼鏡/Nishiki-megane” is an original Renzuru model of this site – “Tsuru-no-Goshiki”.
Renzuru means connected-cranes which are made of only one paper without glue and tape.
I’ve posted only ways to prepare a paper for original models other than Temusubi.
Renzuru models which I posted how to make them are yellow thumbnails like the picture below.
If you are looking for those models, please look for them on the top page.

Preparation of an origami paper
【Size】
a 26x26cm paper or it is bigger than 26cm.
【Kinds】
・Basic origami paper
・Double sided origami paper
・Washi paper
I made this model with a 26x26cm basic origami paper.
If you use a big paper, it will get easier to make this model.
Fold the paper in four in each direction.
After making creases, it looks like this picture.
Preparing an origami paper is completed!
Make creases
To make creases on a paper
To make creases on a paper before cutting the paper is very important.
If you cut a paper first before making creases, it will get harder to make creases on the paper.
Also, there’s a possibility that the paper is cut halfway when making creases.
This step is making basic-creases on each square.
On the other page, there is how to make basic-creases.
I will paste the link down below.
Make basic-creases, which are the green lines and the blue lines in this picture, on each square in the paper.
Make basic-creases in each yellow square.
This picture is taken after making basic-creases in each yellow square.
Please make sure whether there are the creases, which are the green lines and the blue lines in the 2 pictures ago, in each yellow square.

『Tsuru-no-Goshiki』
Cut the paper while referencing the diagram.
I used a 26x26cm paper.
I left about 2 to 2.5mm for the length of the connecting part.
Cut the parts which have been circled in the different way.
In the blue circle,
make a cut on the right side until the center.
In the yellow circle,
make a cut on the bottom side until the center.
Make sure the direction of each crane
Make sure the direction of each crane
When making Renzuru, to fold cranes while making sure the direction of each crane is very important.
On this site, I will draw lines on each square in a picture.
Make cranes so that the lines are changed to wings.
I recommend that you draw lines lightly on the back in order not to make a mistake.
Make cranes so that the yellow lines are changed to wings.
Preparing a paper for Nishiki-megane is finished!
Make this model carefully while making sure the direction of each crane!
When folding a square which is not marked,
make a crane as it is.
When folding squares which are marked,
make a crane while putting the marked square on top of the other by the same symbol.
After making all cranes, make beaks at parts whichever you like.
