It has been folded for hundreds of years, it was considered a symbol of peace after the second world war, and there is a legend that if you can fold 1000, you will be granted a wish.

Any ideas on how big the paper should be? I’m starting to run out of paper so I don’t really want to use to much :/ I going to get some more soon so would it be best to wait? x

What for 1001 cranes?!? I can only make 2 or so before giving up… I like using average 6×6 inch paper, or create a square from A4 paper.
