Finally, pull the two ends down that aren't the wings, and push the wings in to form a sort of stand (actually feet I suppose. Although swans don't really have feet. They sort of have paddles. Is there a name for their type of feet? Or are they just feet?) Anyways, pull one of the pointed ends and crease the inside of it into a head (cranes got to have a sense of direction, even if you are guiding them)

To make it fly: Grasp the crane under its head, in front of its wings, and yank on the tail (not too hard, it'll come off). A constant motion will cause its wings to flap in a flying motion!

I hope you enjoyed the egregious use of geometry terms, and had fun building this with me!
