Swell a crane’s back without spreading wings
The way to swell a crane’s back without spreading wings is a little difficult.
Therefore, I recommend that you try to swell a back of an unconnected crane until you get used to the way.
If you use a 15x15cm paper, it will get easier to swell a crane’s back.
First, look at three pictures that I swelled a crane’s back without spreading wings.
Then I will introduce how to swell a crane’s back without spreading wings.
(Picture 1)
If you push a crane’s back from top while spreading wings outwards, the crane’s back will be swollen beautifully like this picture.
(Picture 2)
However, if you push a crane’s back from top without spreading wings, the crane’s back will have a dent like this picture.
Therefore, make a crane’s back soft first.
After that, swell the crane’s back.
(Picture 3)
If you swell a crane’s back after making the crane’s back soft, the crane’s back will be swollen beautifully like this picture.
Then swell a crane’s back without spreading wings!
(Explanation 1)
First, open wings a little like this picture.
At that time, open wings without making creases.
(Explanation 2)
Then move the circled parts in the direction of the arrows while pinching them in order to make a crane’s back soft.
Pinch the circled parts while referencing the two pictures below.
(Explanation 3)
In the left, pinch the circled part.
(Explanation 4)
In the right, pinch the circled part.
(Explanation 5)
Move the circled parts in the direction of the arrows while pinching them.
If wings are closed, you will not be able to make a crane’s back soft.
Therefore, move the circled parts in the state of that wings are open like this picture.
(Explanation 6)
Move both sides so that a crane’s back become triangular shape.
(Explanation 7)
Making one side of a crane’s back soft is finished.
Then rotate the crane 180 degrees.
(Explanation 8)
After rotating the crane, move the circled parts in the direction of the arrows in the same way.
(Explanation 9)
Move both sides so that a crane’s back become triangular shape.
(Explanation 10)
Making a crane’s back soft is finished.
Then rotate the crane 180 degrees.
(Explanation 11)
Rotate the crane like this picture.
(Explanation 12)
Then move wings in the direction of the arrows to return them to the original positions.
(Explanation 13)
Move wings like this picture.
(Explanation 14)
Then push a crane’s back from top without spreading wings to swell it.
(Explanation 15)
Swell a crane’s back like this picture.
(Explanation 16)
This picture is taken from the side.
By making a crane’s back soft first, the crane’s back is swollen beautifully.
(Explanation 17)
Then arrange shape of wings.
Move the circled parts in the direction of the arrows in order to make creases a little at the dotted lines.
(Explanation 18)
After making creases a little, it looks like this picture.
Then make creases a little on the other wing as well.
(Explanation 19)
After making creases a little on the wings, it looks like this picture.
(Explanation 20)
Then move wings back a little in the direction of the arrows.
(Explanation 21)
Move wings like this picture.
Swelling a crane’s back without spreading wings is finished.
