Cross Stitch Blankets
What should I do with my 1000 paper cranes?
Last week, I decided to make 1000 paper cranes as a new project. I am very craft- oriented, and have made numerous knitted scarfs, crocheted blankets (still in the works), and cross stitch patterns for family members. I have made 2 large cross stitch patterns, one for my grandma (took me 2 years to do) and one for my dad (2 months). My mom’s birthday is coming up, and I was wondering if I should give her 1000 paper cranes as a present? I haven’t yet given her anything that I made, and I feel bad about it. I don’t have enough time to cross stitch a pattern or anything, and I can easily make 1000 by December. Would it be a sentimental present? Should I do it? Would she like it? If not, what should I get her? I want it to be something that I made so that it will be personal.
Sell them or give them to someone who is going to get married. My nephew gave paper cranes to every guest who came to their wedding. Each guest was to write a line of advice or blessing on their crane. Then the cranes were hung on strings with little clips at the reception. It was beautiful!
Folding a crane takes time, patience and understanding. These same qualities are vital for a marriage to last. This is why the symbolism of 1,000 hand-folded cranes decorating a wedding is so powerful.
