How to fold an origami flapping bird
A simple take on the traditional flapping bird: a triangle for the raised wing, with its two ends flipped up into a neck and a tail, and a little head folded down.
You need: 1 square sheet, 15 × 15 cm. Easy, 4 steps, about 4 minutes.
Steps
- Make a triangle. Fold the bottom corner up to meet the top corner.
- Fold up the neck. Fold the right corner up and out, creasing from the middle of the bottom edge, so it rises past the side like a neck.
- Fold up the tail. Fold the left corner up the same way to make the tail.
- Fold the head. Fold the tip of the neck down and out a little to make the head.

Draw an eye on the head. Hold it by the body and swoop it through the air.
