Learn the art of paper folding and create your own one-of-a-kind mini origami crane earrings. You will learn the basics of origami along with fun tips and tricks for folding miniature cranes.

All materials and tools will be provided by the instructor. No experience is required, but If you have your own jewelry-making tools that you are comfortable with (chain-nose pliers, round-nose pliers, flush cutters, or any beads you’ve been hoarding for a special project), you may bring them.
At the end of the course, you will have several pairs of mini crane earrings completed, along with earring cards and small gift bags so that you can treat yourself or your loved one.
