I am having trouble making it to 5:17. I keep on trying but it isnt working!

@DUDEJUSTSTOPTALKING Did you practice with the other shapes first? Try the dove and cup and get those down they help teach some of the folds in an easier way. Good luck!

Thank you so much for your excellant instructions - very clear and great to follow with all the angles seen.

Scray thinking of me trying to make 1000 of them though - I better not be in too much of a rush to make my wish - I think it will take me awhile. :) :)

Thanks again, really appreciate your efforts.

Best wishes, Ayles

I finally got it but, honestly, you don't make it easy. You forget that people are doing this for the first time. The first mistake is when folding the side points to the centerline, you don't explain which side points. Then at the end, instead of explaining how to turn it "inside out" you start explaining what to do if you messed up as you continue to do new steps without explaining them. You should have paused to explain if you messed up, then continued and explained what you were doing.

Am I like, mentally retarded because I can't get this?! I've tried it SO many times!! Someone HELP ME!! LOL. I'm getting so freaked out about a paper crane...

If you're struggling, orient the paper the exact same way as on the video and turn it every way she does. Don't worry about listening to what she's saying, but watch really carefully and pause it to do the folds. That helped me when I went wrong.

I read the part about not being a beginner shape after the fact. Oh well, worked out anyway. Thanks :)

@msreserved Remember this is not a beginner shape. You shouldn't start here - start with the cup, and the dove, and some of the other shapes to get the hang of the basics. You need to practice those basics first. Sort of like practicing skiing on the easy slopes before you tackle the straight-down-the-hill one! Let me know how you do on those basic shapes first!
