Here’s an idea for a New Year’s shimenawa wreath that’s easy to remove—perfect for rearranging your decor.

You might hang up your finished wreath and later want to change its look or move it to a different spot; it’s nice if you can relocate it effortlessly.

This time, we’re sharing a simple, removable setup you can try.

The materials you’ll need are a wreath base and dried flowers such as Dryandra formosa, Chinese tallow berries (Nankinhaze), and statice.

It should result in a cute finish with a natural vibe.

With a simple twist, transform your New Year’s wreath into something uniquely you! When it comes to Japanese New Year decorations, shimenawa-style ornaments are the standard, but it’s great if you can finish one using items you already have at home.

This time, let’s make a handmade wreath using a tenugui (Japanese hand towel).

You’ll need a tenugui, packing material, tape, rubber bands, string, and artificial flowers.

It’s a good idea to prepare one tenugui of each different color.
