Materials:
a sheet of thick (office) paper, painted white on one side and black on the other, 20x20 cm;
decorative plastic eyes.

Important.
The size of the figure depends on the format of the original sheet of paper, but you should not take it too large - this may cause difficulties when working.

1. Fold the basic Triangle shape. Place the workpiece in front of you so that its right angle is directed forward.

2. Align the right side of the triangle with the center fold line of the workpiece relative to the vertex of the right angle. Fix the fold.

3. Align the left side of the triangle with the center fold line of the workpiece relative to the vertex of the right angle.

4. Holding index finger With your left hand, place the workpiece in the center on the line where the folds align, lift the lower right corner of the fold made in step 2 and move it to the right until its lower right corner is completely open. The top side of the fold formed should be parallel to the bottom side of the workpiece formed as a result of creating the fold.

5. Repeat the operations described in step 4 for the left side of the workpiece.

6. Lift the workpiece, separate the layers of paper at the top with both hands and remove the top layer from the resulting folds.

7. Move the top layer of the workpiece down as far as possible until the layers of paper are completely separated along all folds.

8. Return the top layer of the workpiece to its original position, but place it above the bottom layer.

9. Align the upper corner of the top layer of the workpiece with the intersection point of its center fold line and the bottom side. Fix the fold - you have a triangle with an angle directed towards you.

10. Align the left side of the fold facing you with the horizontal fold side of the same fold relative to its top left corner.

11. Align the left side of the triangular fold facing away from you with the horizontal side of the fold of the bottom fold obtained by performing the operation described in step 10, relative to the lower right corner. Fix the fold.

12. Open the folds obtained 12 during operations 10 and 11.

13. Align the right side of the fold facing you with the horizontal side of the fold of the same fold relative to its upper right corner.

14. Align the right side of the triangular fold, which is directed away from you, with the horizontal side of the fold of the lower fold, which was obtained when performing the operation described in paragraph 13, relative to its lower right corner. Fix the fold.

15. With both hands, lift the workpiece and create a mountain fold, guided by the central vertical fold line of the figure.

20. Grab the crow by the wings with both hands. First, spread your arms to the sides, then bring them back. The crow will close and open its beak. Perform the movements rhythmically - this will allow the bird to move more smoothly.
