I can't believe I've done this! When I made the wings flap on the flapping bird, I got the biggest smile I've ever had.

AMAZING! I always wanted to do origami, I looked and looked and looked, but none of the papers, videos etc. really helped me, but wikiHow made it so easy. Great job wikiHow, great job!

Having bought origami paper, I set about folding a crane with my five-year-old grandson. The instructions included in the paper pack led to confusion halfway through. I came to your real-life, hands-on illustrations, and presto, it folded into place!
