How to fold a crane for connected-cranes
I will introduce how to fold a paper crane for connected-cranes on this page.
The way is a little different from how to fold a basic paper crane.
Because the way is to make creases first before making a crane.
By making creases first, it will get easier to make a crane.
Therefore, when making Renzuru, it will get easier to make cranes as well.
