Recently, a woman saw my paper crane mobiles in my Etsy shop, and thought I might be able to help her with an idea. After learning a little more about what she had in mind, I decided to take the project.
::The Project::
This piece was commissioned as a wedding gift. It consists of red paper cranes attached to a high quality sheet of white paper in the shape of a heart.
::The Details::
★ 71 red origami cranes arranged into a heart
★ 16″ x 20″ heavy sheet of high quality, acid free white art paper
★ black frame (16″ x 20″)
★ signed + dated

wow! how beautiful and what a thoughtful gift!
This looks awesome. How long did that take you?
i know! it’s a cool idea. i’d never heard of anything like it before, so i had to make it up as i went.
it took a few days. i had to find a frame, paper, etc. the paper i used it isn’t origami paper, so i had to cut it all down to size, fold the cranes, and then attach them to the white paper. folding was a few hours, but i watched movies and tv. the attaching it to the paper was the tricky part, since i’d never done anything like that before.
Look AMAZING!! Congratulations!!!
DId you use regular glue?
Thanks, Paola! I used an archival adhesive for this project.
