Paper Crane...Check

this was not my first attempt at making a paper crane. i've tried numerous times before, but was never able to fold one. So with a stack of paper and YouTube i tried again.

after wasting 3 sheets of paper i was finally successful! end result... a not bad looking crane!


One thing to check off my list.
