Therefore, crane motifs are a staple in weddings. They are often used in decorations or in wedding showers with origami cranes ♩

Furthermore, it seems there is a more auspicious-looking origami crane...!

When thinking of cranes, the first thing that comes to mind is the "origami crane" that we've folded repeatedly since kindergarten...

However, did you know that in addition to the standard origami crane, there is a folding style known as "Celebration Crane" that is considered even more auspicious???

This is the "Celebration Crane" ♡

Take a look＊ This is the folding style called "Celebration Crane"!

Indeed, the wing parts are more flared and luxurious compared to ordinary origami cranes.

Since cranes are inherently auspicious, there isn't really a superiority between ordinary origami cranes and the Celebration Crane, but the flared wings are more glamorous, making them popular for occasions like New Year’s and weddings＊

It seems there are brides who mix ordinary origami cranes and Celebration Cranes for decorations ♡

Here is the video on how to fold the "Celebration Crane" **

So, how do you fold a Celebration Crane? What makes it different from the ordinary origami crane???

You can watch the folding tutorial video here ♡

For the most part, it follows the same steps as the ordinary origami crane, but more folds are required for the wing's flares.

The key is to use paper with different patterns on each side ◎

The Celebration Crane has different sides showing for the head and wings.

The body and head show the back side of the origami paper, while the wings present the front side. Of course, you can use paper with a pattern on just one side, but calculating this out with cute double-sided patterned paper makes it even better＊

Not just for the wedding day, but also for special occasions like New Year's or festive days, having them on the table will add a touch of elegance, so let’s master the folding of the "Celebration Crane" ♩
