Amazingly Small Origami Crane

Checking out some links from origamitessellations.com I discovered the Foldingfreaks Origami group on Flickr - there’s some amazing origami work there.

How about this tiny origami crane - just 3mm across!

Tiny Origami Crane on Coin Tiny Origami Crane - 3mm across

Folded from a 5.5mm square piece of tissue paper, it must require some incredibly nimble fingers to complete.

I’m off to try and find a pair of tweezers now.
