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.

Peach Blossom Wreath

[Origami] How to make a Peach Blossom Wreath / [Origami] Peach blossom wreath

A peach blossom wreath is an origami piece where arranging the flowers into a ring makes the overall cohesion clearly visible.

The work centers on two parts: making the flowers and assembling them by placing them onto the base.

The wreath’s impression changes greatly depending on where you start and how you gauge the spacing.

A notable feature is that you can create variation not only by arranging them evenly but also by intentionally varying the density.

While a single finished piece has a strong presence on its own, combining different sizes expands your options for spatial presentation.

It’s an origami idea that lets you enjoy the process of shaping while considering the placement.

Ogasawara hina

Traditional Origami: Easy to Understand! Ogasawara Hina Dolls (March senior recreation/day-service event, Hina Matsuri crafts, origami Hina dolls)

Ogasawara-bina are origami pieces characterized by few folds and a simple form.

Rather than adding large decorations, they express the doll-like quality through the placement of the face and the layering of the garments, so the overall balance determines the finish.

As you fold, it’s important to be mindful of the standing posture and the relationship between the figures when placed side by side.

The choice of colored paper greatly changes the impression, allowing you to adjust from a calm atmosphere to a gently elegant one.

Displaying them together highlights the differences in shape and brings a cohesive, seasonal-festive feel to the space.
