Does anyone know how to doorigami
I do I can fold a crane, frog, star and much more

I used to have drawers full of stuff, I have some books on origami. I think the hardest thing I ever did was a pegasus, but you need a huge piece of paper for that.

i used to know how to make a crane but forgot. i also know how to make a fish out of two pieces of paper... but i dont know if its japanese origami or not because i learned how to make it from my vietnamese parent.

i used to love to make the "balloon," coz not only did you get to fold it, but you also got to blow air into it i bet i could still make one if i really wanted too.... its like the alphabet, you'll always have it down pack all thanks to that damn song!!

anyways what could you do with that damn crane? make bird noises?and pull its tail and watch it flap its wings?...... lame, i need origami with function that actually entertains me. like that frog, that was cool, and also the ninga star cause i remember it made me feel powerful lke i was an actual ninja mbwahha... but damn the flower is the stupidest, what could you do with that one, smell it? damn.. i wish i invented scented paper. i'd be rich like the guy who invented post-its!

Cranes are a symbol of health I believe in Japan, there's a story that if you make 1000 cranes and string them up together, you can make a wish and it can come true (it's a fable of course, but it's the principle that counts). There was a story of a young girl who was a victim of the repercussions of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima and she was diagnosed with leukemia (?), and didn't have much time to live. So she started to make her paper cranes in order to have her wish come true to be healed, unfortunately she died after making about 600, her friends finished the rest for her. There's a memorial of her story in Hiroshima, and every year school children make those 1000 paper cranes in order to honor her memory.

Thats so sad.

you had to ruin my funny didnt you? .... now i have to cry and make paper crane!!!!

I wonder if your wish can really come true after making 1000 crane
