Thank you for viewing. Origami cranes, pre-threaded. Heads are folded. 21 colors x 12 strands, 252 cranes total. Secured with beads at the top and bottom. The top strand is tied, not secured with a ring or similar. I folded these with care, but as a handmade item by an amateur, there may be some slight imperfections. Please understand this. Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a perfect item. Thank you.
