Instructions

  • Fold a sheet of origami paper in half. Cut it in half.
  • Place one half sheet color side down. Fold it in half and open it up.
  • Fold up both sides so that they touch in the middle (at the crease made in step 2).
  • Fold the sheet of paper in half (using the crease made in step 2).
  • Fold it in half again.
  • Now fold the paper in half again and open it up.
  • Fold both left and right sides of the paper to meet in the middle (at the crease made in step 6).
  • Repeat this several times. I made about 18 of these to create a full wreath. You may need more or fewer depending on your papers’ size and your preference for ornament size.
  • Take two of your folded sheets.
  • Slide the top portion of one V into the top portion of another V. Then slide your folded paper through so that it catches.
  • Keep sticking the V’s together in the same way as step 10.
  • When you have enough Vs to complete a wreath, pull out the folded arms of your last V.
  • Stick the two unfolded portions through your first V.
  • Now fold up your two unfolded arms.
  • Stick them under a previous V and glue them to secure them in place.
  • Tie on a string to finish.
