365 Days of Knowledge #29

Today I learned how to make an origami paper crane.

The paper crane is a sign of world peace and it is said that whomever makes a thousand of them will get a wished granted by a crane.

I plan on making them and using them as decorations for my wedding. While I doubt I'll make a thousand, I'd like to make an honest effort, we'll see how many folders I can recruit....

Here's an example of how I want to incorporate them into the decor. I like how they're used in this image, although I would use colored paper and space them a little farther apart. I think they might look nice by the gift and guest book area. What do you think?


If you are interested in learning how to make them here's a website I found that really simplified the process: http://origami.org.uk/origamicrane.htm

Once you're finished let me know if I can take any off your hands and I'll send you my address....hint hint.
