Smallest and Largest Paper Cranes in the World!

 The largest Paper Crane In November 1999, Wings for Peace created the world's largest paper crane: it was over 215 feet wide, and approximately 1750 pounds. Seattle, WA, USA.

The smallest origami crane is most likely made by Mr. Naito of Japan. He used progressively smaller and smaller squares until the the smallest crane was made from a 0.1 x 0.1 mm square. Naito folded the tiny crane using a microscope and special tools which he made himself

Origami World Records: Fastest 100 Paper Cranes!!

I was looking through the Origami World Records and stumbled upon some unbelievable records! I decided that i will look through some that catch my attention and share it with you guys. I will post a couple more as i research through them throughout the rest of the year. They truly are amazing!

Marten Brouwer (Manna Ori) (Netherlands)

folded 100 paper cranes in 54:30 minutes on 18 August 2010 in the Paper Crane Interactive Exhibition Room of the former Hiroshima Minicipal Baseball Stadium in Hiroshima City, Japan.

The previous record holder was Hiromi Ashlin (Australia) who folded 100 cranes in 1:14:25 hr at the Wish upon a Crane challenge at the Abacus Labs, Curtin University, Perth, Australia on 12 October 2007. She won the speed folding contest. Keiko Kokufu was with a time of 1:22:10 hrs closely behind her, but still broke the old record of Akie Morita (Japan) (1:38:36 hours on 23 October 2004 at Bukyo Gakuin University in Saitana).

You'd be suprised if you have tried to fold a paper crane before. It takes me practically 2 hours to fold about 20! But that was when i was distracted, not competitively..

This is a picture of the new record holder of the fastest at folding 100 Paper cranes!

Have you ever folded Origami?



I have recently posted a poll last week asking if any of you have ever tried or have some interest in folding Origami.

I need to know these answers to know how high or low of a difficulty level i should look for in different types of folds. Like the crane and the elephant that i have posted so far. Those are fairly easy because i do not know how much our class is experienced in this type of subject. If many answer no or that they have failed then i will stick on simple folds. But if there are a few yes and a lot of interests being taken into my blog then i will eventually lead up to more advanced folds in the future.

So please let me know your answers by answering my poll question on the left..
