Curl one end of a floral stem or pipe cleaner to make
the flower center.
Attach the flower to the stem. Tip: First, poke a tiny starter hole
in the tip of the flower with something like a skewer or bead reamer.
If the flowers tend to slide down the stem, put a
tiny drop of glue at the base of the flower.
Arrange the flowers in the vase, cutting the stems to
the desired lengths.
Cut leaves from the green paper. See Step 3 of
the Easter
Lily for one method of doing this.
(Optional) Attach the leaves to leftover stem wire
with floral tape.
Add the leaves to your arrangement.
Easy Floral
Wreath
This wreath is a lovely decoration for home or work.
It's identical on both sides so it looks great in a window or hanging
as a mobile.
When made from standard 6-inch paper, it's 7ΒΌ inches across.
A smaller size would make a nifty coaster set.
If you've yet to make a modular ring like this, we suggest you get one
of Tomoko Fuse's books and try it. You will like it!
This wreath is "Ring 1" in her book Origami
Rings & Wreaths.
It requires eight modules, one piece of paper for each. The
folding process is very easy.
The paper we used is Yasutomo Myabi, a double-sided paper. (Call your local artist supply store or copy that phrase into your
search engine and you'll
find a seller.)
The Myabi paper has
a semi-glossy surface that makes assembling the units a breeze, as well
as making a beautifully colored wreath.
