How To: Make a romantic and animated 3D origami swan

Remember that uber romantic scene from Nicolas Sparks' tearjerker, "The Notebook," where Noah takes long lost and then found love Allie out on his boat and then find themselves in a small enclosure full of swans? You can recreate that magically romantic moment (sort of) by folding this swan origami project!

A single swan is beautiful on its own, but if you want to create a special experience like that which Allie and Noah had, then create a whole flock! This origami tutorial is for origami beginners.
