Fold an origami crane with video help
May 31, 2008
Back in March I offered up instructions for folding an origami crane.
The crane symbolizes peace in Japanese, Chinese and Korean traditions. In Japan, tradition holds that anyone with the commitment and patience to fold 1,000 paper cranes will be granted their most desired wish. For the true story of Sadako Sasaki and the thousand cranes, visit Why an Origami Crane as Your Logo?
If you’re new to Conflict Zen and haven’t seen the print instructions, or found they didn’t fill in all the blanks, you’re now just 10 minutes away from your own folded origami crane, courtesy of the following clear video instructions from Lisa Shea.
No origami paper? No problem. Use office paper from your recycling stack, used wrapping paper, the funnies, or the map inserted in your last National Geographic. You’ll need a square to start and, if you’re new to origami and cranes, start with a sizeable piece, at least 6″.
