Mini wreath of rape blossoms

[Origami] How to Make a Mini Rapeseed Flower Wreath

This mini wreath, compactly shaped into a small ring and packed with the bright cheer of rape blossoms, is an origami piece that combines easy display with a touch of splendor.

Its hallmark is the process of making each yellow flower individually and arranging them with an eye for balance, advancing while envisioning the final look.

Rather than a simple repetition of steps, the placement of each flower changes the impression, making it enjoyable to experiment.

Another appeal is that once finished, it can be displayed almost anywhere—on walls, doors, or bulletin boards.

Lining up multiple wreaths creates a cohesive look that brightens the entire space.

It’s a seasonal origami idea that lets you enjoy both the making and the decorating.

Iris made with tsumami-zaiku

How to Make Iris Flowers [Tsumami Zaiku] [Easy DIY] [Chirimen Craft] DIY Handmade Craft Tutorial / Kanzashi / Tsumami Zaiku

Let me introduce a tsumami-zaiku iris that beautifully highlights the fabric’s texture.

Cut your chosen fabric into squares and fold each piece three times with tweezers.

Apply adhesive and open it to form a petal.

Make several of these.

Next, fold smaller pieces to create the inner petals as well.

For the leaves, fold the fabric three times, then cut it into a long, narrow shape.

Slowly open it while securing the edges with glue, shaping it into a leaf.

Attach a round paper base to a wire, and then glue the parts you made onto the base in order to complete the iris.

Since this involves fine, delicate work, it’s best to proceed slowly, one step at a time.

Tsumami-zaiku flowers are adorable, but having to use thread and needles can be a hassle.

This version is made with felt and doesn’t require any thread or needles.

It’s easy because there’s no sewing involved, so please give it a try.

First, cut the felt into 4 cm squares, fold them, pinch into shape, and secure with small amounts of hot glue.

Finally, trim the tip to resemble the end of a cherry blossom petal.

Once you’ve made five petals, attach them to a felt base.

It’s easier to work on a silicone mat, so give that a try.
