How to fold a crane to make it FLY

1. When folding down the tail, fold it outward at a sharper angle than the neck. This gives a little more leverage to move the paper.

2. When the crane is finished, hold it firmly at the "V" shape of the chest with the left hand.

3. Hold the middle of the tail with the right hand and gently pull straight out.

Also, many other web sites have detailed instructions on how to fold a paper crane. Each has a slightly different presentation style, so you should be able to find a method that works for your way of learning. Here are a few:
