How to make.

I guess i got a bit bored today, I'm still not feeling any better so i wanted to do something other than sit in front of the t.v. I love origami, its amazing what you can do with a piece of paper. Anyway i made some swans today just to hang around in my room, i also did some instructions for those of you guys that want to make some of your own too!

so firstly you need a square piece of paper and fold it in half like the picture below:

Then on each of the ends, fold them in towards the half way line, so you get a kite shape (see picture below)

once you've done that turn it over and fold inwards again

Once that's done, bring the pointy side up to the big end and fold like below

Then fold the little point down to make the head/beak

so your almost done, all you need to do now is fold in half (see picture below)

Hold it in your hands and lift the neck up and fold in place

and...


There you go!

You can make how ever many you want, sizes big and small. I think they look really cute hung around your house or bedroom!
here's what i did with mine

Just a little example, Hopefully I'll learn some other origami animals and will do another how to post!
