There are 1 gold foil,  75 red, 75 white, 50 dark  purple, 50 pale purple ( lavender ), 50 reddish-orange, 50 orange, 50 pale orange ( salmon ), 50 pale blue, 50 blue, 50 dark blue, 50 light grey, 50 leaf green ( yellow green), 50 green, 50 pale pink, 50 hot pink, 50 dark pink, 50 cream ( papaya ), 50 yellow and 50 reddish-brown ( Japanese maple ),  and the total is 1001 cranes. These cranes are especially appropriate  for weddings, anniversaries,engagements,  birthdays,  graduations, births, etc.  They are also suitable as a gift to wish a sick person a speedy recovery. You can also use them as good luck charms, in gift boxes, or as party favors. In general, hand-made paper cranes are believed to bring good luck and happiness to the person who receives them. In any case, they will be unique decorations or gifts.  To make shipping easier, I bagged the cranes with the wings folded.  When you are ready to display or use them in some way, you can spread the wings out by holding both wings with your hands and spreading them out slowly and gently. If you want a specific amount of canres and/or specific colors, plese let me know. How To make Cranes Stand Up: All you have to do is bend down wings outward, making sharp creases. Then pull them apart with both hands. As you pull the wings apart gently, you will be inflating the body slightly. Then the cranes will stand. Here are a few more suggestions on how to use the cranes: 1. Use them as prizes for little games of contests you might have. 2. Decorate a wedding cake with them in some way. 3. Put them on place cards at parties. 4. Enclose them in thank-you cards after parties or wedding, etc. 5. Hang them all around the room.
