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 creases on each square.
When making this model,
fold cranes in the way to make an inside-blintz-crane.
The way to make an inside-blintz-crane is a little different from the way to make a basic-crane for connected-cranes.
Therefore, make creases while referencing the link down below.
In each square, make inside-blintz-crane-creases which are the green lines and the blue lines in this picture.
(１)
Make inside-blintz-crane-creases in each yellow square.
In the top yellow square, there is only one half of a square.
Therefore, assuming that there is a square in the top yellow square, make inside-blintz-crane-creases.
Make creases in the top yellow square while referencing the steps below!
(２)
First, fold the paper in half to make a crease at the dotted line.
(３)
Fold the paper like this picture.
(４)
Then make creases at the part which is painted green.
(５)
Fold the paper diagonally to make a crease at the dotted line.
(６)
Fold the paper like this picture.
Then turn the paper over as it is.
(７)
After turning the paper over, make creases at the dotted lines.
(８)
Fold the paper like this picture.
(９)
On the other side, fold the paper like this picture.
(１０)
After making creases, it looks like this picture.
Then spread the paper.
(１１)
Fold the paper diagonally in the other direction.
(１２)
Fold the paper like this picture.
Then turn the paper over as it is.
(１３)
Make creases at the dotted lines.
(１４)
After making creases, it looks like this picture.
Then spread the paper.
(１５)
Fold the paper to make creases at the dotted lines.
(１６)
Fold the paper like this picture.
(１７)
After making creases, it looks like this picture.
Making inside-blintz-crane-creases in the yellow square is finished.
(Assuming that there is a square in the yellow square, you would be able to make the creases.)
(１８)
Then make inside-blintz-crane-creases in each yellow square.
In each square, make inside-blintz-crane-creases which are the green lines and the blue lines in this picture.
(１９)
This picture is taken after making inside-blintz-crane-creases in each yellow square.
Please make sure whether there are the creases, which are the green lines and the blue lines in the previous picture, in each yellow square.
Cut the paper
Cut your paper after making creases!
＜reference＞『Hiden-Senbazuru-Orikata』- was published in 1797
Cut the paper while referencing the diagram.
This is an enlarged picture.
Cut the paper until a quarter of width.
There is no crease in a quarter of width.
Therefore, I recommend that you mark with a ruler or make a crease a little before cutting the paper.
(When making a crease a little, fold the side to the center line.)
Then cut the paper on the yellow lines in order to get easier to make this model.
After cutting the paper, it looks like this picture.
Cutting the paper is finished!
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.
After making sure the direction of each crane, make the model – Omodaka.
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!
