Paper cranes and a…paper crane thing.
Posting two things at once, because I fell behind again…
I made a string of paper cranes to hang in my craft room, after I realised it was kind of ridiculous that whenever I got out my origami paper there were pieces I didn’t use because they were the ones I liked best so I was ’saving’ them! So I made my favourite papers into the simplest of origami, and strung them on a red thread where I’ll see them every day.
The bottom one is made from paper with cranes printed on it. I love that:)
And while I was going through my papers, I found instructions that had come with one packet for what I thought was a card with a crane on it, so for today’s thing I made one of those:
It was fun to make, although it’s not technically origami, because although it is made from one sheet, you have to cut the paper. And now I’m not sure what to do with it, because it’s not a card, or an envelope, it’s just sort of a…packet. With a crane on the front.

I know exactly what you mean by saving the things you like best. I’m trying not to do that anymore either and moving a little more towards an “eat dessert first” outlook. The string of cranes is lovely.
