How to build a strong paper crane?
Fact: paper is relatively strong when you pull on it, but when you push on it, it easily crumples. Build your crane out of several bars. Bars that are being pushed upon by the weight need to resist the crumpling. A good way to do this is to roll a sheet of paper into a tube form to make the bars. Bars that are only being pulled on don't need to be more than a sheet of paper. A frame cranes are simple to make: www.lni.wa /wisha/rules/generalsafety/images/24_d2_a-frame.gif
