Butterflies
The butterfly is a classic origami figure that is easy to fold and is therefore ideal for beginners. A single square piece of paper is needed to make a butterfly and if you master the technique, you can conjure up several butterflies in a short time. For example, these can be stuck to the wall, threaded into a decorative chain or hung individually from the ceiling. This brings the graceful grace of butterflies into your own home.

Cranes are also the messengers of spring in the sky and are therefore ideal for home decoration this time of year. To fold a crane, all you need is a sheet of origami paper in any color. For example, the spring migration of birds can be depicted on the wall using several cranes. Or you can attach a hanger to each crane and use it to decorate a few real or artificial flower branches in a beautiful vase.
Flowers
Nothing is better for spring decoration than early bloomers. Snowdrops, tulips and daffodils look incredibly decorative and give the apartment a fresh touch. Since decorations made from real flowers don't last that long, we recommend that you fold these pretty spring flowers out of paper. This means they will last for years and can be used as spring decorations for years to come.
