Video Instructions

Activity Kit

Our Hope Cranes activity kit contains the following:

An origami crane, a strip of paper, a gold/silver thread with a bell attached to one end, two beads and a craft needle

Step 1:

String the gold/silver thread with bell through the strip of paper.

Step 2:

Attach the strip of paper to the bell by making a knot.

Step 3:

Tie a knot on the gold/silver thread about 2 inches from the bell.

Step 4:

String both ends of the gold/silver thread through one of the beads provided. It may be easier to get both ends through the bead if you trim them slightly first.

Step 5:

Move the bead to the knot that you have made in Step 3. The knot will keep the bead in place.

Step 6:

String both ends of the gold/silver thread through the craft needle provided in the kit.

Step 7:

Carefully poke through the base of the origami crane.

Step 8:

Carefully and firmly poke through the top of the origami crane.

Step 9:

Remove the craft needle from the gold/silver thread.

Step 10:

String both ends of the gold/silver thread through the second bead (same as Step 4). Again, it may be easier to string both ends through the bead if you trim them slightly.

Step 11:

Bring the bead to the top of the origami crane.

Step 12:

Tie a knot with the gold/silver thread.

Step 13:

Slowly pull both ends of the gold/silver thread, bringing the knot to the bead to keep it in place.

Step 14:

Tie another knot near the end of the gold/silver thread. Try to make the knot around 3 inches from the second bead.

Step 15:

CONGRATULATIONS!!!
