Fold 1 000 origami cranes

I just finished this evening! My God it was arduous. Mostly because I didn’t use origami paper, so I had to make the squares myself out of printer paper or notebook paper. My suggestion: use paper that is already a perfect square. Also, use paper that is relatively thin and easy to fold (not like printer paper, which was fine but hurt my fingers after a while). I’m the kind of person who is always fidgeting and folding origami anyway, so I thought I’d challenge and see if I could make 1,000 cranes by a specific date. I did it for a friend’s birthday present, so I hope she likes it!
