Marguerite Wreath
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.
Washi-Modern Hina Dolls with Lace Paper
This is a perfect idea for Hinamatsuri! First, cut a sheet of patterned origami paper and a doily in half, then fold both sides inward like a kimono.
Slip the folded doily inside the origami so the lace peeks out from the kimono for extra cuteness.
Once you decide on the placement, glue it down firmly and add the face parts and accessories.
Next, color the backing paper, and stamp around the border with a dauber or a balloon to make it festive.
Finally, attach the hina dolls, and your handmade, modern-Japanese Hinamatsuri decoration is complete.
Its vibrant colors will instantly bring a spring feel to your room, and the making process is fun, too.
Rose
Roses are highly popular plants for viewing, growing, and giving as gifts.
Their noble, almost unapproachable look with thorns and their luxurious fragrance are distinctive, aren’t they? Roses are also highly recommended as a design to decorate walls.
Even a plain wall can instantly feel brighter just by adding flowers.
Fold construction paper and cut it with scissors to make each individual petal.
Then use glue to attach the petals to one another.
Since this is quite detailed work, if you’re doing it as a large group craft activity, it may be a good idea to divide responsibilities by parts.
origami butterfly
This project uses an origami butterfly base and adds various parts to create a three-dimensional finish.
Paper quilling is used for the antennae; by tightly rolling the paper and then spreading it, you get a gracefully curved, 3D look.
The butterfly base itself is simple—bundle and fan out an accordion-folded piece—but by refining the fineness of the pleats and how you spread them, you can achieve a more beautiful appearance.
Choosing the right origami paper is also a key point for a refined result.
Finally, attach the decorations to the base and you’re done.
As practice, it’s important to pay close attention to the details, such as the precision of the accordion folds and how you roll the antennae.
white clover
A wall decoration of white clover that blends into every natural Japanese landscape, from parks to rice fields.
With its soft, gentle impression, it’s perfect for the warm, spring-like season.
First, color the center of the prepared paper with yellow-green or green.
Next, cut out parts to create the silhouette of the petals.
Then, attach them to wire wrapped with floral tape, and the piece is complete.
You can hang it directly on the wall or add it to a wreath.
Try making white clover to bring a touch of spring’s warmth indoors.
dandelion
This is a vibrant wall decoration themed around dandelions that bloom in spring.
It uses Tant paper, a material with a soft, airy feel, so you can enjoy natural tones.
First, divide the pieces into petals and leaves/grass, and make small cuts with scissors as you craft each part.
The key is to shape the petals while imagining the paper opening outward from the inside.
Next, attach the pieces onto a base made by combining wooden stirrers or disposable chopsticks, and you’re done.
Why not display this wall decoration—rich with the texture and warmth of real flowers—at a care facility?
Translucent Garland
A translucent garland that creates a light, springlike atmosphere.
Cut translucent origami lengthwise into strips one-eighth the width.
Glue each piece together alternately top and bottom in sequence, offsetting them diagonally as you go to create a soft, petal-like design.
Make a second set of the same pieces and attach it to the first to give the garland a three-dimensional look.
Punch holes and thread clips through to finish it as a hanging decoration.
Because it uses translucent origami, the soft colors shine beautifully when light passes through.
