Hi I'm Melena,

              Today I'm going to teach you how to make a interesting looking Swan.

Materials:

- Printer Paper (blank)

- Scissors (optional)

Swan Pre-Step:

When looking at the paper vertically fold the bottom right hand corner to the left side of the paper.

Like so:

After you're done folding the paper there will be a rectangle at the top. Cut or rip that part off.

Now onto the Swan!

Swan Step 1:

After make a square turn it so it looks like a diamond. Then fold the tips of the diamond into the middle. Make sure that you're only folding right and left tips, leave the top and bottom alone.

Swan Step 2:

At this point fold the tip into the middle like you did in the last step. Like the last step only fold the right and the left tis of this "kite".

 

Swan Step 3:

Once you're at this point fold the bottom tip all way up to the top. When folding it try and line it up with the top of the kite, as if the tips were touching.

Swan Step 4:

Almost done now fold the top of the tip down so that is looks like a swan. All we must do now is give it some life!

 

Swan Step 5:

Really Really close now! All you do now is fold the swan in half. Make sure that you when you fold it the head is shown. Bend the head to what you like and there you are!
