Step 1: Origami Crane

It would be too complicated for me to tell you so go to this website:

http://www.monkey.org/~aidan/origami/crane/

Make about 20 or so until your satisfied.

Step 2: The Base

take the yardstick and take string on the top and let it droop down.(this is where the birds will go on so if you don't give yourself enough room..... you might have to re-tie.) Try to put 2-10 strands depending on how any birds you made.

Step 3: Adding the Cranes

Take the Cranes and one by one thread the string through the birds until you have a chain of birds. Gluing the birds is recommended because they might slide down instead of hanging up.
