DIY Origami Crane Leis

During the ceremony, we presented our parents with origami crane leis.  I don't remember exactly how many cranes were used - possibly 88 per lei?  I alternated white, blue, and green paper.  Also, I did not fold the beaks to the cranes, in order to make the lei's look less 'busy.'  A needle and dental floss were used to string them together (dental floss is more sturdy than sewing thread).
