Orizuru, \u6298\u9db4, origami (lit. folded) crane<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a>I’m feeling somewhat under the weather again today, I’m afraid. I was going to create a coordinate using some pieces in my collection with the origami crane motif but I’m just not up to it.<\/p>\n

Instead, I thought I would share some quick and easy instructions for a really charming little mobile. This piece was made over a year ago and I never thought to take photos of the process, but I promise it’s incredibly simple.<\/p>\n

I had the cranes already; a couple I made myself but the bulk of them were included in packages from friends or as little gifts with kimono purchases. I really wanted a way to show them off, rather than have them all languishing in drawers.<\/p>\n

All I did was carefully pierce holes through the centre of the body of each crane and feed through some very fine beading wire<\/a>, I used a small jewellery crimp<\/a> beneath each one so they wouldn’t slide down to the bottom of the wire, and interspersed a few tiny orgami lucky stars for some visual interest.<\/p>\n

I made several strands of varying lengths, and attached them to the solid piece from an embroidery hoop<\/a> set, again using the crimps to fix the wires in place. Another wire to form a hanging loop and voila, your own pretty little flock of orizuru!<\/p>\n
