I find it somewhat therapeutic to fold origami cranes. It also gives you something to do when you have nothing else to do, or you’re stuck and deliberating over a problem like I am. If you cut your own paper like me however, it will take you a lot longer. I’d say on and off this project took almost six months. I’m a busy uni student after all! Or, well, I should be.
This jar, I believe, is a 1.75 litre one? Well, I heard you need a gallon jar to fit a 1000 cranes in. And this jar here was the largest I could find, fitting only 500. Shame really, but the real question is how to present the next 500? In an identical looking jar, or as a separate project?
Well, I’m going back to Cambridge this weekend and my exams are in June, so it’s best I don’t focus too much on this, eh?
Materials: 500 5cm squares of paper in ten different colours, one 1.75 litre jar, craft knife and cutting mat
Pretty as always! I’ve always wondered the equivalent of innocent trees you have cut down from all your origami paper use? 😉
Probably too many to count… It’s funny really, because I’m the sort of person that tries not to waste paper when writing stuff up. XD
