Tulip wreath

[Origami] How to Make a Tulip Wreath

Tulips are one of the flowers that color the spring season, and their rich variety of hues conveys the excitement of spring.

This is a wreath that captures that springtime joy by arranging colorful tulips on a circular base.

It’s recommended to make the wreath base in green to evoke leaves; create triangular pieces and insert adjacent pieces into the gaps to form a circle.

Then just add tulips and other decorations to the base to finish.

To make the tulips really stand out, it’s important to use folds to give them a three-dimensional look.

tricolor dango

[Origami] Dango — Origami English Subtitles

In spring, many people enjoy hanami, viewing the cherry blossoms in full bloom.

Since it’s also an easy season for older adults to go out, some may enjoy flower viewing as well.

Speaking of hanami, sanshoku dango (three-colored dumplings) are a must-have treat.

Let’s make spring-like sanshoku dango out of origami.

Use three colors of origami paper to make balloon shapes and skewer them with a bamboo stick.

That’s it—finished.

By the way, it’s said that the order of the dango colors corresponds to the order in which cherry blossoms bloom: from the top, pink for the buds, white for full bloom, and green for the leafing stage.
