Here’s an idea for a beautifully simple shimenawa wreath arranged with mizuhiki cords.

Many people find it hard to throw away the decorative mizuhiki from gift envelopes—if that sounds like you, give this a try.

You’ll need a wreath base, mizuhiki cords, a hot glue gun or adhesive, and scissors.

Combining and attaching the mizuhiki creates a glamorous look.

Add materials like artificial flowers or nuts, and you’ll have a one-of-a-kind shimenawa wreath.

Finish it with memories and gratitude in mind.

Fluffy shimenawa wreath

Let’s make a fluffy, cozy New Year’s wreath completely from scratch.

All you need is yarn.

Twisted and bundled yarn can be arranged into a wreath shape, a tassel shape, or a ring shape, so create the base to match the style you want! Each option has a different vibe and will look stylish in its own way.

You can add personality with yarn colors and decorations like mizuhiki cords, making it an idea that’s easy to coordinate with your interior decor.

Take this opportunity to give it a try!

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.

You can find artificial flowers at 100-yen shops, so give it a try!

Mini New Year’s wreath made with origami

I want to make this with kids! It’s a New Year’s wreath you can create using origami.

Since it’s made from origami, it seems fun for the whole family to work together to make the parts and assemble them.

You’ll need 16 sheets of origami paper cut to quarter size, decorative items like mizuhiki cords, and glue or adhesive.

Origami in red, traditional Japanese patterns, and a touch of gold works well.

Its mini size makes it easy to display anywhere, which is a nice plus! You can also adjust the origami size to make a larger wreath.
