How to make 1000 paper cranes
It made me
Joyful
 "And now I have 2 torn up books in my attic."
How I did it: I had recieved several old books I would never read for christmas and needed to do something with them. So I got on the old youtube and found out how to go about making paper cranes. Less than a month later I had a floor ful of paper cranes and a roommate who thought I'd lost it. And then I finally hit the 1000 mark. I put them in a box and set them up on my attic steps. The friend who finally pulled them down couldn't have been happier. Lessons & tips: Stick with it. And set your own pace. If you don't feel like making cranes for a whole day or two don't do it. And if you feel like making 100 one day, go for it. |

y3nd0 is seriously trying to learn Korean and lose weight at the same time!
How I did it: I love making cranes. I've probably made hundreds of them before I started on a quest to make 1000. It took me about 2 weeks. I brought a bag to school, and during and between lectures, I'd sit there and fold some. I've gotten so good that I can do them without looking at my hands. I used the 50x50mm papers, which you can buy in Korean/Japanese stores for a buck for 150 sheets. I seriously had a lot of … Read how I did it…
lovingmex43 is getting clear on things.
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. Read how I did it…

How I did it: Sadly, my approach was haphazard. I did it while my mind was occupied, but my hands were free. I kept a stash of oragami paper at my side at all times, and accessed it whenever I found myself staring into space.My biggest challenge has been counting and storing them. I eventually strung them all on thread, with paper clips between every 10 cranes. 5 decades of cranes per strand worked out to around 5" of crances.&n… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I mostly did these during downtime in class, or while the teacher was lecturing during class. I cut up regular printer paper (8.5 x 11) into squares about 1x1 inch, and used a few sheets of patterned origami paper. I stored my finished cranes in origami boxes, 50 in each for a total of 20 boxes, and strung them in 20 lines of 50. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I wanted to fold 1000 paper cranes for the wedding, so I did it with basic printer paper (cut up small) since origami paper is quite expensive when purchasing 1000 sheets. I made them into the kanji for Prosperity when I was done. Read how I did it…
i am doing this specifically for a wish to come true, but I plan to also give them away as a symbol of hope with a quote in each crane for encouragement to children, the sick, random tourist and people in union square new york, friends, and finally family. i started today tuesday july 7,2009 and i am planning to be done before september.

I will be making a thousand paper cranes starting Nov. 2, 2009.
On Nov. 2, 2009 my boyfriend is leaving for the marines. There is a 60% chance he will be stationed in Afghanistan. He will remain on active duty for 5 years. With each passing day I realize how helpless I am to stop death. I cannot deactivate a land mine Caleb’s car may run over. I cannot take a bullet for him.
The only thing I can do is make cranes. Hundreds of cranes with a wish written inside the final midnight blue one.

I finally made my first crane. I’ve been trying for the past few weeks, but I kept getting stuck on one step somewhere in the middle. Tonight I found an awesome video that finally helped me understand it. My crane wasn’t perfect, but he’s cute and I like him a lot. I’m going to give him lots of girlfriends and brothers and sisters and friends and… :)
I’ve so far made 250 cranes. 1/4th of the way done… after almost 7 months! I go in and out of times when I make a lot, and then stop for a long time… Oh well.
Not sure what I’m wishing for yet, but I think when I’m done, I’ll give them away somehow too.
xxprettyPOODLExx Theres no denying that im pretty damn cool =D
I dont know why im doing this? I dont have a wish or anyone to give them to. should probs buy some origami paper…
I spent yesterday afternoon in Little Tokyo (LA) and bought some origami paper. I made a couple of cranes and decided to make 1000. Not sure why yet.
I’m going to try and get this done by Friday afternoon or so. That gives me about 4 days. The math works out for it to be possible, but it will be one of the most difficult things I’ve done considering the time frame. I’m trying to get it done for my brother’s wedding. I think it would make a good gift and would be something I would be proud to have done. Wish me luck on my crazy ordeal.
sumpi is at work, folding paper cranes and reading manga
I must be crazy, but then again I love the person that I’m going to give this to a lot. So I hope he will be grateful for all the work I’ve done :)
Started today, goal for today: 50 cranes!
After a long night of studying for exams I decided to take a break, a very long break, and made 100 cranes :)
