Print out these instructions, including the images that accompany them. Check off each step as you complete it-- this way, if you're interrupted, you'll know right where to pick up.

A good fold is a clean fold. When you begin a fold, check to make sure that the edges or corners you're bringing together will line up exactly. You don't want them to overlap or fail to meet. Check this alignment of edges before you press down on the paper.

2torial #0855: Learn2 Make Basic Origami (Continued) Project 1: Create a bird Make the bird's neck and head At this point the paper should have a kite shape--broad at one end and narrowing towards the tail. Locate the new top corner (that's corner C, where you'd attach the kite's tail), and fold it down to the spot where the corners A and B now meet. This fold makes the bird's neck.   Fold corner C back up a little bit, where the narrow end used to be. Don't worry about exactly how far you fold it. This fold makes the bird's head. Its beak points up, towards where the corner you labeled C used to be. Project 1 - Step 3
