The last wreath for this week is yet another wreath from Tomoko Fuse’s book ‘Origami Rings and Wreaths’ – another beautiful model that looks best on duo coloured paper or one that is printed on one side and solid on the other.

If you haven’t tried out 3D rings, you should give them a go. They really make lovely decorations! So here is the Mette’s Ring, the Sun Dial and the Square 3D Ring. Another 3D ring that I found out recently is the Eifel [Continued..]
