What you will need

• A square piece of paper
• A flat surface

Instructions

1. Start with a square piece of paper. The color of the paper is up to you, but white or origami paper is a good choice.
2. Fold the paper in half diagonally. This will create a crease in the paper. Unfold the paper, and you should have a crease running from corner to corner.
3. Fold the top corners of the paper down to the crease. This will create a triangle shape.
4. Fold the bottom point of the triangle up to the top point of the triangle. This will create a smaller triangle.
5. Fold the sides of the smaller triangle in to meet the center crease. This will create a kite shape.
6. Turn the paper over.
7. Fold the sides of the kite shape in to meet the center crease. This will create a diamond shape.
8. Fold the bottom point of the diamond up to the top point of the diamond. This will create a smaller diamond.
9. Fold the sides of the smaller diamond in to meet the center crease. This will create a long, thin shape.
10. Pull the two ends of the long, thin shape apart. This will open up the wings of the swan.
11. Shape the wings and head of the swan as desired.
