Welcome!

I devised this "Cranes of Thanks" project because I love origami, working with children, and the "heroes" that defend our country!  I am teaching youth to fold paper origami cranes which will be placed on a coloring page with a letter on the back to be sent to our soldiers overseas.  This project will continue until we have completed 1,000 Cranes of Thanks!  All of the supplies have generously been funded by DoSomething.org.

How To Fold Origami Cranes

If you are making a coloring page and would like to trace a physical crane you can either e-mail me your address and I can send you one... or you can learn to fold one yourself!

Video instructions:


The video is completely silent but the motions speak for themselves.  IGNORE the final two steps where they fold down the crane wings so the bird looks like it is flying.  (This is not my video.)
