The 80 origami cranes we made today will sit with their wings unfolded until tomorrow, when we will hang them up to fly with the others. And hopefully along with any others we make tomorrow (a quick check shows that we will be making at least 20 tomorrow).
We may be starting the next stage in our 'campaign' (What is the correct word here?) tomorrow, where we teach others to make an origami crane for a small donation to our cause (suggested donation will be £1) - you would then be able to either take your origami crane home with you or send it home with us to display with the others. You could even write you name on it, if you wanted! We will let you know future locations for this expanded effort, that will be open to the public so you can come and try your hand at origami.
We are also thinking about giving people origami cranes in exchange for a small donation to our cause (again suggested donation will be £1), once we begin to create a surplus! We will update you on details on where you can find us, likely after the weekend (when we will hopefully have the time to go origami-mad).
It takes quite a bit of time to make these large quantities of origami cranes in a day, but once you get into routine it gets easier and easier. However, I think I am developing 'origami thumb'! Only two days in and I think there is a callous developing...
Hey,
ReplyDeleteFirst I just want to congratulate you on how amazing the idea of raising money by making paper cranes is, I can't think of anything that would be more sacred and meaningful to this country.
Also, I have been stressed about not being in a financial position to donate and feel terrible about it so I'd love to be able to make paper cranes for this organisation, if possible would I be able to be provided with instructions on how to do this and an email?
Thanks!
