1. Smooth the candy paper, select some complete and beautiful candy paper from the leftover candy paper, then simply clean it and try to smooth it by hand.
Generally speaking, the paper folded by paper cranes is square, while the candy paper is irregular. Therefore, before folding the paper crane, the candy paper should be changed into a square. If the shape of the candy paper is very different from that of a square, you need to cut it into a square with scissors. If there is no big difference, fold the candy paper into a square by the following steps. The first step is to fold the candy paper pair into a triangle. The second step is to open the triangle and fold the excess part of the pair into the candy paper, which is a relatively standard square.
When you get a square candy paper, be careful not to open the extra part after folding it in half. At this time, fold the four corners of the square candy paper in half to get a small square, then flatten the folded edges and corners hard, and finally open them all. You can see a cross-shaped crease on the candy paper.
4. Fold it in half for many times to form a cross, choose a small square in the cross as a template, and fold it into a small square with four sides along the crease of the small square. This step is very important, you must fold it in half, otherwise it will easily affect the beauty of the paper crane if it is not neat.
5. Choose two small squares with beautiful and flat patterns from the four small squares, and fold the small squares into two irregular triangles along the edges and corners in the small squares, as does the other small square. This step is also very important and needs to be folded in half. Please see how the picture is folded.
6. After folding the two sides of the square into two small triangles, adjust the details that are not well folded by hand, and then flatten the folded candy paper with force.
7. After folding and flattening neatly, fold the two small triangles on one side, flatten them by hand, and then turn them over to fold the two triangles on the other side. At this time, you can see that the tail and head of the paper crane have formed.
8. Choose one end as the head of the paper crane and the other end as the tail of the paper crane. The shape of the tail remains unchanged, and the head simply needs to be folded inward to form a crane head with a pointed mouth.
9. Then fold the remaining two triangles in half and flatten them hard. After adjustment, they will be the wings of paper cranes. Then you can see a beautiful paper crane made of sugar paper.
Because the candy paper is not as smooth as ordinary origami, it is necessary to pay attention to the hand pressure after each step. This way of folding paper cranes with sugar paper is also suitable for ordinary paper, which is easier to fold flat.
