How do you make an origami crane?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Paper made specifically for origami can be found
at most craft stores. It is usually colored only on
one side. I used a sheet that was colored on both sides.
2. Begin by folding one edge to meet to other,
with the colored side outward...
...to get this.
3. Open up the paper and lay it flat.
Now repeat step 2 in the other direction,
and open up it up again.
4. Fold it diagonally with the white side out (pink here).
Line it up corner to corner...
...to get this.
5. Open up the paper, repeat
step 4 in the other direction, and
open up the paper again.
6. Lay the paper with the white side up. (pink here)
Bring in the side corners, while bringing
the top corner down...
...to get this.
7. With the open side pointing towards the left
in this picture, fold one corner of the square
so that the edge is lined up with the center line...
...to get this.
8. Repeat step 7 with the other flap.
9. Flip the paper over and repeat step 7 for
the other two flaps.

Their link seems to be broken at the moment, but here it is anyway in case they get it working:

The iTunes URL (forgive me) is:

(I guess this is more of a teaching you to fish, rather than giving you a fish sort of answer.)

Once the cranes are folded, they can be used for celebrations, decorations, art, or mobiles resembling this elegant bird.

Nice instructions. Also note that there are many ways you can go from the square sheet of paper to the form represented on step 7. Try different folds to see what you are more comfortable with.
