These origami decorations may look complex and expensive, but they are actually easy to create and will never wilt or shed, making them highly economical!

Each wreath is assembled from a number of paper sheets that are folded and then cleverly slotted together. No glue or tape required! The ring itself is held together by the tension of the individual paper pieces using the techniques of modular origami. Full colour, step-by-step instructions help you fold and assemble these beautiful pieces.

A different design is provided for each month of the year, and you can endlessly vary the colours and materials, which are readily available in any craft store.

Here are just a few of the seasonal and festive themes found in this book:
  • Valentine Hearts
  • Spring Cherry Blossoms
  • Tulips and Roses
  • Shooting Stars
  • Goldfish and Bunnies
  • Fall Harvest
  • Christmas
  • And many more!
