Marguerite Wreath

[Origami] Marguerite, daisy, spring, wreath, March, April

Margaret’s wreath is an origami piece whose charm lies in how freely you can arrange it.

By changing the flower colors within a single wreath and varying their sizes for emphasis, you create a look that avoids being overly uniform.

Placing the leaves so they extend outward adds movement to the ring shape and gives a light, airy impression.

The key is to adjust the placement while watching the overall balance rather than aiming for strict symmetry.

The finished mood changes depending on the combinations you choose, making it easy to style the wreath to suit where it will be displayed.

Do try making one and enjoy the feeling of spring.

You can make a cute butterfly using a Yakult container.

For the wings, layer a circle cut from colored paper with a slightly smaller circle of colored paper on top.

Fold the stack in half, then fold it in half again parallel to the first fold, and continue folding like that; when you open it up, it will be an accordion.

After making the accordion, fold it in half and spread out the outer sides.

Make two of these so they face each other.

Wrap strips of colored paper around the bottom and the body of the container, matching their widths to those parts of the container.

Attach curled paper for the antennae, add the wings you made, draw the face, and you’re done.

Hanging decorations of cherry blossoms in full bloom

A “full-bloom cherry blossom hanging decoration” made with paper plates and origami, using DAISO’s translucent spring chiyogami.

Decorations made with semi-transparent origami paper you can buy at 100-yen shops are stylish and recommended.

First, prepare a paper plate and cut out a circular hole in the center, then stick double-sided tape on the top, bottom, left, and right.

Next, attach the semi-transparent origami so it forms diamond shapes, and trim off any excess—done.

Finally, use a flower-shaped punch to cut out lots of petal decorations and stick them onto the origami from earlier to finish.

The more punched petals you add, the closer the design will look to cherry blossoms in full bloom!

Easter calendar

In April, there is a holiday called Easter.

It is a Christian event that commemorates the resurrection of Jesus Christ, but it also carries the meaning of celebrating the arrival of spring.

This idea is a calendar design that incorporates rabbits and eggs—well-known symbols of Easter.

Attach rabbits and eggs made from construction paper to the design surface, then glue jute twine beneath them by layering it in spiraling circles.

Finally, decorate the jute twine area with flowers made from origami, and it’s complete.

After making the calendar, why not celebrate Easter together with everyone?

Single-minded Cinderella! – 1st chorus ver. – CUTIE STREET

Announce the arrival of spring with a calendar featuring a design of a Japanese bush warbler and cherry blossoms.

The warbler’s wings are expressed with a check pattern on a vivid yellow-green base.

The cherry blossoms are crafted using two shades of pink, with folds to depict petals and a slight indentation at the center to create a three-dimensional effect.

Petals are also arranged around the blossoms, giving the piece a sense of motion despite being a flat work.

The calendar’s backing uses light blue—enjoy the contrast of sky, cherry blossoms, and warbler.

Cherry Blossom Calendar

Nighttime cherry blossoms seen from a window—or perhaps a raft of petals drifting across the water.

This idea lets you express various spring atmospheres by changing how you place the cherry blossoms on the base.

The method is very simple: just attach a sheet of construction paper cut into a circle and some cherry blossom petals to the upper part of the base, and an illustrated calendar to the lower part.

You can fill the inside of the circle completely with blossoms, or let them intentionally spill beyond it.

Because the idea is simple, the finished design will vary greatly depending on the creator’s sensibility.
