Wreath of daffodils and roses

[Origami] Daffodil and Rose Wreath

Daffodils bloom until early spring, and roses bloom around late spring, so even though their seasons are offset, both can be said to be representative spring flowers.

This is a simple yet dimensional wreath with a glamorous look that combines daffodils and roses.

Another key point is that the wreath base and stem parts are kept flat, which helps emphasize the three-dimensionality of the daffodil and rose blossoms.

For each flower, it’s important to deliberately add fine creases, cuts, and bends, and to shape them carefully so that a sense of depth and volume comes through.

simple wisteria flowers

How to make a simple wisteria flower out of paper! [Tsukuru-mon]

These are wisteria flowers made with mauve or light purple origami paper.

First, cut the origami sheet in half vertically.

Fold it in half, then fold it in half several more times to make a small rectangle.

Cut it into a semicircle—this will be a kirigami cut, so be careful to leave the parts that should remain attached.

When you unfold it, you’ll get the distinctive legume-like shape.

Fold it to complete the petals.

For the stem, light green construction paper will give a sturdy fit, but origami paper works too.

Make some large, bold leaves as well.

Connect as many petals as you like, and you’ll have a wisteria blossom that captures the fresh feeling of spring!

Papercut flowers

[Origami] Paper-Cut Flowers (11) Cosmos 🌸

Here’s an idea for making a cosmos flower with paper cutting.

Fold the origami into the specified shape, sketch the petals, and cut along the lines to create a large, single cosmos when you open it.

First, fold the origami in half into a square twice, then fold it once more into a triangle.

Lift half of the stacked layers and fold them so the bottom edge aligns with the left side.

On the other side, fold so the bottom edge aligns with the right side.

That’s the end of the folding steps.

Draw the petal pattern and cut along the lines with scissors.

If you place a yellow round sticker in the center, it will look even more like a cosmos.

Wisteria flowers made from rectangular origami

Kimie Gangi: Super easy wisteria made from rectangular origami

This is a wisteria trellis wall decoration made from rectangular pieces of origami paper.

First, mark one sheet of origami so that it can be divided into five rectangles, stack several sheets, and cut them together.

Apply glue to the edge of each rectangle, align the corners to form a triangle, and glue them together—this will be a petal.

Attach the petals to a paper tape or similar strip.

Start with one petal at the tip, then add two petals at each subsequent step, and finally attach leaves made from green origami paper to complete the wisteria trellis.

Despite the simple steps, it beautifully recreates the refined, graceful splendor of wisteria in bloom.
