    The branch covered in birds is absolutely stunning. I picked up some origami paper so that I can make myself one for my living room!

      Made it to 100 in two days with help of my 8 yearold sister. She loved doing it. Took her a while to learn but she loved it. We made a papercrane rainbow in out room over our closet.

    I made 1000 cranes in 19 days. I didn’t do the baby ones but it was still difficult. They’re all over my room now. :3

    Love them in an ornament. Clever and so simple!

  7. Chanssee says:

    I’ve gotten to 600 and my ex threw them away when we broke up. Now I just make them out of whatever I can at the time, and leave them in random places where ever I go. :)

    When I was in fourth grade my teacher gave our class a few minutes each day and with a whole class making them-we got up to 1000 fairly quickly. :)

    My roommate and I have had paper cranes hanging from our dorm room ceiling since our freshman year. They’re the first thing people notice and they just love them! :)

    My fiance and I are currently in the middle of folding 1000 origami cranes for our wedding in june! we’ve got about 550 right now, still going strong! :)

    I made a 1000 when we were in the adoption process. My daughter kept her favourite ones. Now we are in the adoption process again for 2 more brothers and we are talking about maybe doing it again as a family.

    I made a bunch of different sizes using scrapboook paper trimmed to different sizes. That worked great because there were similar/same patterns in different sizes so it looked really cool.

    These are so beautiful. During the year that I was abused, I made 1000 for a history teacher because he was so kind to me. I was never able to tell him exactly what was going on, or what gave me the motivation, but it meant a great deal to me to be able to give him that gift on my 17th birthday.
