Peace Cranes For Ukraine - Origami Ornament for Christmas Tree, Car, ...

Origami cranes have long been a symbol of peace, and so I fold each of my cranes with a simple intention...

May there be peace for all people in all places throughout the world, and may peace dwell within me.

After meticulously folding each crane with this thicker paper, I string it on metallic embroidery floss and make a tassel on the end. I also include crystal and glass beads. The glass beads on this particular ornament are blue and yellow, evoking the flag of Ukraine.

I will be donating 10% of the purchase of this peace crane ornament to Mercy Corps: Crisis in Ukraine. They are a worldwide humanitarian organization and are on the ground in Ukraine, Romania and Poland working to meet urgent humanitarian needs.

Ornament size details - From the bottom tips of the tassel to the top of the crane is about 6 - 6.5 inches. The crane is about 3 - 4 inches wide. The embroidery floss above the crane is long enough to tie to a Christmas tree branch, car mirror, or anywhere else you might want a reminder of peace.
