When selecting the best paper for your origami crane, there are a number of characteristics you should look for.
Commonly the cranes are assembled as 25 strings of 40 cranes each. The size of the origami paper does matter when assembling a thousand paper cranes, but smaller sheets consequently yield smaller and lighter strings of cranes. The most popular size for senbazuru is 7.5 by 7.5 centimetres (3.0 in × 3.0 in).
