What I would do differently Next Time I Fold an Origami Wreath

My favorite thing about this origami wreath craft is that there are so many different ways to get creative. Here are some ideas that I’d like to try next time:

Try alternating with a different color like red paper, white paper, or another shade of green.
Use square paper cut from Christmas wrapping paper or scrapbook paper for a more festive look or old magazines for a more vintage look instead of origami paper.
Use bigger square sheets of paper or make more modules to make a bigger wreath.
