How to Make a Paper Wreath Advanced

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1

   Start with A4 paper. Cut into 8 identical squares (divide the paper into a 2x4 grid of rectangles, then trim each to a square, approximately 7cm x 7cm).

2. 2

   Take one square. Fold in half diagonally to make a triangle.

3. 3

   Fold the left and right points of the triangle up to the top point, creating a diamond (square standing on its point).

4. 4

   Fold the top layer flaps of the two small triangles outward so they lie flat against the sides of the diamond. These create leaf-like shapes.

5. 5

   Fold the top point of each leaf-like shape down to make the tops flat.

6. 6

   Fold the entire unit in half vertically (the diamond becomes narrower). This is one wreath unit.

7. 7

   Repeat steps 2-6 with all remaining 7 squares to create 8 identical units.

8. 8

   Arrange the 8 units in a circle, each pointing outward like sun rays.

9. 9

   Connect adjacent units by inserting the pointed end of one unit into the pocket of the next unit.

10. 10

    Continue connecting all 8 units around the circle until the first and last units connect.

11. 11

    Tighten the ring by pushing all connections firmly together.

12. 12

    Adjust each unit so they are evenly spaced and the wreath is symmetrical.

13. 13

    Your modular paper wreath is complete. It holds together through the interlocking connections without any adhesive.
