Thousand Origami Cranes (千羽鶴 Senbazuru) (千 sen = thousand, 羽 ba = counter for birds, 鶴 tsuru = crane) is a group of one thousand origami paper cranes (折鶴 orizuru) held together by strings. An ancient Japanese legend promises that anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes will be granted a wish by a crane. Some stories believe you are granted eternal good luck, instead of just one wish, such as long life or recovery from illness or injury. This makes them popular gifts for special friends and family. The crane in Japan is one of the mystical or holy creatures (others include the dragon and the tortoise) and is said to live for a thousand years: That is why 1000 cranes are made, one for each year. In some stories it is believed that the 1000 cranes must be completed within one year and they must all be made by the person who is to make the wish at the end. Cranes that are made by that person and given away to another aren't included: All cranes must be kept by the person wishing at the end.

Have you ever tried this before? Are you interested in trying it? Personally I am trying it right now and am about 200 cranes in. There's kits you can buy on Amazon that have 1,000 pieces of colored paper. I got a kit too, but from somewhere else.
The kit is in Japanese, so if you can't read Japanese, or if you don't wanna use the kit and wanna know how to do it, I'll explain it: The kit comes with 20 colors, for each string you will need to repeat the 20 colors twice, so that makes 40 cranes in each string. There are going to be 25 strings. 25 x 40 = 1000. You get a string of 2 meters ( 6 and a half feet). At the end of the string, you tie a knot or tie a bead. This is so the cranes don't fall out when you stack them in the string. Then start stacking the cranes in the string, there's a little hole on the bottom of the origami cranes, so just put the string in there and just poke it out from it's back. Do that for 40 cranes. After that, do this for another 24 strings, and then at the top of each string, there should be some string left (above the cranes), use all these extra strings to connect all 25 sets of string. There you go! And if you don't wanna use colored paper and wanna use your own, go ahead.
It's said to be good luck to hang it in your home! ^^
