How to make an origami Advent wreath

Tired of Advent candles that end up looking like a hot mess? You never have to worry about wax spills, fire hazards, or forgetting to buy candles with this easy to fold origami Advent wreath. If you’re new to origami, I feel like this wreath has simple to follow steps. If you have ever folded a paper airplane, a lot of these steps will feel familiar to you.

I used construction paper, but any kind of paper will do.

Supplies needed:

Origami paper or Construction Paper (1 green 9×9”, 3 purple 4.5×4.5”, 1 pink 4.5×4.5”, 4 yellow 2.25×2.25”) https://amzn.to/3GL5Std
