Here are 3 cute Origami Easter decor ideas!

Origami Easter Egg Basket
Origami Butterfly
Origami Easter Bunny

Scroll down further, to find each tutorial. All you will need for each of these is one, or sometimes two, sheets of Origami paper.

Origami Easter Egg Basket

Perfect for Easter egg-hunting, or as a decorative centre-piece. You will need two squares of Origami paper, best in different colors. One color will be used for the basket, the other will create the decorative elements.

Origami Butterflies

These can be made in multiple different sizes and colors, to create a beautiful effect.

Origami Easter Bunny

Very cute, and perfect to go with the first idea, the Origami basket, to create an Origami Easter landscape.

And these are all ideas for today, hopefully there was something in them for you.To view all of my Easter tutorials (not just Origami) check out my Easter playlist

Happy Easter!

Making a DIY Pentagon Star Lantern from Paper

Now that the evenings are getting darker, we start using candles and lanterns again. So in this tutorial I’m showing you how to make a paper lantern using pentagon shapes. Once lit, pentagrams (five-pointed stars) will appear.

The pentagon templates can be found here for you to easily build this lantern. Since there are only six pentagons on our sheet, but twelve are needed for this lantern, you will need to print the template sheet twice.

Have fun!
