While I was back in Hawaii in March, I bought 11 packs of 100 sheets of double sided gold 3x3 origami paper. I oppted for the double sided gold paper since I'm not an expert at folding cranes so I need all the help I can get. After folding over 300 of these little cranes, I have to say I am getting better. There are some that aren't perfect, but its okay those can go on the bottom. I try to fold 10 a night but that doesn't always happen. Good thing, I have about 7 more months finish since most vendors need 6 months to do the design and framing.
For those wondering how these cranes are going to be framed, here are a couple examples:
Typically, couples frame their cranes into their family mon which is Japanese and we don't really have one. Or some make the cranes into the Japanese/Chinese character of their last name which doesn't really work for us since our last name will be Libby. ;) So we will pick another design similar to the second one.
Here are a few pictures of my work in progess....

Finished cranes!
My container full of cranes
My guess is there is a a little over a hundred in there, the first two hundred are in a safe place in my room.
