How To Make a Paper Swan - Origami Swan Easy - Step by Step Tutorial. Swan Paper: Use a square, white side up. 1. Valley-fold the square in half along the diagonal. 2. Bring the left edge over to lie along the diagonal. Repeat behind. 3. Fold the top layer upwards. That is, undo the fold made in the step 1. 4. Fold the blunt triangle upwards so that its tip lies along the center line, and the crease runs from corner to corner. 5. Fold the tip of the blunt triangle down to the crease just made, and unfold. 6. Fold the tip of the blunt triangle back down, so that the crease made in the step 5 and edge made int step 4 line up. 7. Valley-fold the model in half. 8. Enlarged view. Pivot the small triangle protruding from the right side downward about thirty degress (the exact angle isn’t critical). This is done the same way we made the head and neck of the duck: pivot it down, and flatten the model out, forming new creases as necessary. 9. Valley-fold the bottom edge (one layer only) up to lie along the back. Repeat behind, symmetrically. 10. Fold the skinny point (soon to be the head and neck) over to touch the tail; crease, and unfold. 11. Form a valley fold that connects points A and B. crease and unfold. 12. Outside-reverse-fold the neck. To make an outside reverse fold, the edges of the being folded are wrapped up around the spine of the flap. The difference between an outside reverse fold and a insiside reverse fold is that in the former, the inside gets wrapped around the rest of the model, while in the latter, the outside gets pushed inside the rest of the model. As far as diagrams go, an outside reverse fold is indicated by valley folds (as here); an inside reverse fold is indicated by mountain folds. And, as with the inside reverse fold, it is much easier if you pre-crese the paper with valley and mountain folds before trying the reverse fold. 13. This shows the fold in progress. 14. Enlarged view. Inside reverse-fold neck back to lie parallel to the back of the swan. 15. Open the front of the neck out flat. 16. Fold about ¼ of the neck back on itself. 17. Fold about ¾ of the tip back up on itself. 18. Blunt the tip by folding the last little bit back down. 19. Close the neck back up with valley fold. 20. Inside reverse-fold the head forward so that it is at right angles to the back. 21. Outside reverse-fold the head downward. Fold the tips of the wings downward, both front and behind. 22. Fold the next layer of paper down over the wing in front and behind. The central point remains upright. Open out the bottom of the swan and spread the layer of the back. 23. Finished swan.
