Now fold the whole thing in half down the centerline as shown, using a mountain fold.įold the point of the trunk back as shown to make the ear crease line (ignore the trunk crease for now). The idea is to overlap the front legs by about half their width. Ready again? OK, make another valley fold at the front edge of the front legs.Īnd a mountain fold a short distance in front of that. Whew! This would be as good a time as any to break for drinks :) Make valley folds on the outside of the center channel.Īlso make a mountain fold just in front of the channel, so that this piece overlaps the channel. It can be a little tricky to get these small pieces folded and creased, you may need help from a rounded tool as shown. Next, squash fold the top and bottom as shown. Now fold the 4 corners of the center channel as shown below. The idea is to get the distance "x" to be equal to the distance "y". This stage is shown from the backside in the next photo.įor clarity, we're showing this stage from the side also. You will now make a valley fold approximately where the white line is in the photo below. The following photo shows what the backside should look like. Now fold along crease A.then B and C, as shown in the two photos below. The fold the right edge backĪgain, until it lines up with the crease you made in the previous step. Then fold the top pointed corner down, at the white lineīill back behind, until the bill is doubled as shown. Now valley fold the top corners as if you're making a paper airplane. Halfway points of the bill, as well as the top corners.
Upside down (again, you'll see why later). Place the bill in front of you, face up but If you do not know what these are, then you are in way overĪctually, you can learn about these folds right here.Ĭurrencies or denominations would work, but this one has a special "feature"įor those not in the USA, the dimensions of a USA one dollar bill are height = 66mm (2.6 inch) and width = 156mm (6.1 inch). We'll make frequent use of the terms valley fold and If you have trouble making an origami crane, this one might be a bit much. It should be considered somewhat advanced origami.
