What about an origami centerpiece?
It is easy to make and incredibly versatile, since you can adapt colors, subjects and shapes to any kind of event.
In this case, the idea was to realize something that made the cranes dinamic, not static, as if they were flying.
Building the centerpiece is super easy: you just need a skein of copper wire (that you can buy in every hardware store), some colored origami paper, and some glue (I am not suggesting you any because every country has its types, but any polyurethane glue will fit)
Unroll the wire and entangle the skein until you reach the desired shape. You may prefer a more open shape for the wire or a more tidy and contained one. In this case, you may tie the center of the skein with a string as I did in the first picture.
Then you can build the cranes in your favorite colors and paper, place them on top of the wires and put a little bit of glue to hold them in place. I suggest you to hold the cranes with small pegs until the glue in completely dry. Do not exceed with glue or you may risk to see some drops on your cranes.

And your centerpiece is ready. You may change the subject, size and colors of your figures, but I think this it is particularly suitable for flying animals or subjects in general.
