yaezakura (double-flowered cherry blossoms)NEW!

[No pattern needed] Easy double-flowered cherry blossoms with origami — a luxurious spring wall decoration! For childcare and eldercare activities. How to make Easy Origami Cherry Blossoms (Double-flowered Sakura)

Cherry blossoms are a motif that symbolizes spring in Japan, and their soft colors really convey the warmth of the season.

This decoration expresses cherry blossoms with origami, layering petals to create a double-flowered yaezakura finish.

The tree is attached flat onto a background mount, and then three-dimensional flower pieces are arranged on top.

Doubling the flowers is a key point for adding depth, and giving them creases so they appear slightly lifted enhances the three-dimensional effect.

Letting small petals seem to dance around suggests a spring breeze, which is also recommended.

Marguerite WreathNEW!

[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.
