The Japanese-style garland can be easily made by simply sticking the words "I got married" on a paper fan made from origami＊

It's very easy to make by hand, so even beginner brides can easily try this wedding item!

But the key is how beautifully you can create the base part with origami (i.e., the paper fan)♡

@keny.wedd from marry shared how to make the base for the Japanese-style garland, so let me introduce it!

The materials needed are just your favorite patterned origami paper, chiyogami, double-sided tape, and a glue gun＊

[Japanese-style Garland] Base Making Steps ①

1... Fold the origami paper in half

2... Cut it into two parts with a cutter

3... Fold the long piece of origami in half, and then fold it in half again

5 & 6... The folded origami should take the shape of an 'N' when viewed from the side

7... Unfold the origami

8... Make sure that the starting and ending patterns are facing outward

※ You will need four of these for each character, so for the six characters that make up "I got married," you will need to make a total of 24 pieces＊
