I have really enjoyed making these origami wreaths. The instructions are here. They don't require great concentration so are good to do when watching films (or when waiting for your computer to get on with something - a great stress buster).
I have been re-using paper to make them such as old maps and pictures from magazines. Re-use is the best form of recycling right? And best of all it is free which is very handy in these economic times!
I am going to give the map ones to my family as a little extra in their Christmas cards. They will fit in the envelope nicely.
We are keeping these ones (made from pages of an organic hamper catalogue) as I think they look nice on this branch I found. :)
Those are so lovely!

wow these are beautiful. Over lapping them one after the other would make a cool bit wreath too.

They are really cute and they even look simple enough for me to manage (although we'll see about that!). I think my Toast/Howies catalogue pile might be about to bite the dust :)

I love these especially the map ones. It is inspiring me to get my scraps of paper into one place to have a go myself.
