For the Elephant, we being with a birdie

crease in half
unfold, and fold in half the other way
now we have a big cross
turn the sheet
fold diagonally both ways
first one, the other
after that...
...bring those 4 points together
the open part points towards our selves
and fold edge on the crease
on both sides
left and right
and also on the back
fold back the top triangle
unfold both flaps and pull back the top layer
we reverse this to creases up there
along the crease-lines we already made
same on the back
open, pull back, flatten
that is the bird base
open the base like this
take the two flaps here
and creates them outwards
the edge of this line
open again in reverse that crease
also here: open and reverse
now it looks like a star
turn over the star
and fold in half the flaps
the corner to the centre
turn over again
the corners to the middle
and the sides to the middle-line
fold those two points together
this will be feet
Attention: Wenn this is on this side, what will be the ear later
we fold the feet to this side, the feet to the ears
this important so the elephant can stand stably
fold the whole thing in the middle
this is the head
and that is the back
now we take this length there
and there we fold down
those will be the other feet
fold inside again (inside reverse-fold)
we want the feet to have the same length
so fold them as precise as possible
open that, crease upwards,
and fold this side inwards
, so we have a straight line
so the feet look alike
if you want to fold this small part outwards
to shape a tail
for head and trunk, we fold inside here
(inside reverse fold)
simply downwards
you can make a pre-crease
and afterwards the reverse fold, but it doesn't matter
to make the trunk thinner, fold the edges to the middle
shape the trunk as you like
for example like this
and that is the origami elephant
