Who this list is for
This list is for anyone hosting an origami paper crane activity for twelve guests. It’s designed for parties, classrooms, or workshops where you want everyone to have enough supplies to fold, decorate, and display their cranes. If you want to keep things organized and make sure each guest has what they need, start here.
How to use this list
Begin by gathering all the items before your event. Lay out the 150 sheets of 6-inch origami paper in trays for easy access. Place printed crane folding diagrams at each spot—one per guest. Set out three bone folders and three small rulers for guests who want sharper creases. Give each person a pencil and a fine-tip marker for labeling or decorating. Prepare the baker’s twine, large-eye needles, and wooden dowel for hanging finished cranes. Use clear adhesive tape to secure strings. Name labels help keep everyone’s work organized. Cross off items as you set up.
What to skip
Don’t bring regular printer paper—it doesn’t fold as cleanly as real origami paper. Avoid using string that frays easily; baker’s twine works best for threading cranes. Skip permanent markers, which can bleed through thin paper. Don’t forget trays for sorting paper; loose stacks get messy fast.
