The swan mother and baby here are very unique because they are done using a piece of paper. I believe this kind of production is still very attractive to kindergarten children who like handicrafts. Of course, it is also very suitable for adults to do some handicraft leisure in their free time. The biggest feature of this illustrated tutorial on simple handmade origami is the repeated use of continuous inward folds to express the elegance of the swan. At the same time, the creative mode of combining two swans allows more stories to be contained in this origami tutorial, so it is still worth trying.
