Start with a Square and Crease Diagonally: Begin with a square piece of paper. Fold it in half diagonally and then unfold it to create a centre crease.
Fold into a Kite Base (Front): Fold the left and right edges of the triangle inward to meet the centre crease, forming a kite shape.
Repeat on the Other Side: Turn the paper over and fold the new left and right edges into the middle crease again.
Fold in Half Vertically: Fold the entire model in half lengthwise (mountain fold) so the neck and head stick out.
Pull Up the Neck: Gently pull the long, pointed flap (the neck) upward at an angle to create the swan's neck, then crease the base to set the angle.
Create the Head: Adjust the neck and head to your liking and firmly crease the folds.
Shape the Wings and Finish: Adjust the neck and head position as desired. Carefully open up and pull out the sides of the body to form the wings and give the swan stability.
Do this step-by-step six more times and you'll have your very own bevy of swans!
You’re the only camp in the area that has truly made an effort to provide a great offering during these current times. You have saved me from insanity and provided my children some normality during the summer holidays and half term.
