Fold an origami crane with video help

31 May 2008 by Tammy Lenski 2 Comments

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″.

Have fun,

origami craneIt’s the weekend, it’s spring, and it’s sunny.

What better excuse for giving a little gift that symbolizes peace?

I’m giving a way a single paper origami crane to anyone in the U.S. who’d like one. Want to see what it looks like? Check out this photo of my business card and crane by Becky McCray, whom I was lucky to meet at SOBCon 2008.

Just leave a comment to let me know you’d like one and I’ll follow up by email to get your mailing address. No strings attached. No getting added to a mailing list. Just something I’d like to share.

Happy weekend,
Tammy

How to fold an origami crane

1 March 2008 by Tammy Lenski 10 Comments

origami craneA number of readers have asked me to post instructions for folding an origami crane.

The first origami crane I’d ever seen was given to me by a dear college friend, Maura. Maura had survived two rounds of childhood cancer and had begun folding cranes after learning Sadako Sasaki‘s story of cancer and cranes.

I still have the crane Maura gave me, worn and smudged, now tucked away to preserve it. Maura died a few years after we graduated, [Read more...]
