Start with a square piece of paper. Fold the paper in half to form a triangle, color side UP. Unfold the paper and repeat to make folds seen in the image.

Fold two edges in, forming a kite-shape on top. Repeat on other side.

Flip the paper to colored side facing down and fold the paper in half forming a rectangle. Unfold the paper and repeat to make folds seen in like this image.

Fold along all four creases at once to form a square with the open end facing you.

Imagine how many wishes you will have, now that you have time as a non-smoker to fold them. Back to the crane.

Pull the bottom corner (top layer only) up above the top corner. Fold along the creases you made in steps 4 and 5. Repeat on the other side.

Fold two edges in to form a kite-shape. Hey, that’s a nice-looking kite. Repeat that on the other side.

Fold the point down and crease above the other two folds. Flip the paper and repeat fold. Undo the folds you made in steps 4 and 5. Hey, you’re a natural at this.
