How I did it: made them in increments of 100, making primary, secondary and the final folds on all 100 while watchin TV. I used those daily calendars that have perfectly square pages. They were on sale for $1 so it only cost me a few bucks to make them.
Lessons & tips: make them with a happy heart, remember peace and prosperity and you will feel even better about your accomplishment.

My daughter graduates on my birthday, this is my youngest daughter, it is the last of my “little birds” leaving the nest so I am going to string them up and hang them from the ceiling on the morning of her graduation. It will be a surprise and a symbolic way of saying to myself, “job well done!” And a fun way to celebrate for her.
Sessygail has resolved to be faithful in keeping up with 43T in 2012!
I saw a display of 1000 paper cranes in a store window in Missoula on a snowy night a few years ago. It was the most magnificent site! I went so far as to buy some origami paper (though I love your calendar idea) and tried to fold even one but I didn’t do very well. Last night I came across the paper as I was unpacking the last few boxes and I thought I really should add this to my 43Things. And then I saw this on your list! Surely it is a sign!
Oh, and have you heard the album “Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes” by George Winston and Liv Ullman? It is absolutely lovely.

but I will have to take a listen.
I can help you make them if you want.
I looked it up at the library, a few different books. Perfect squares and make all the preparatory folds.
