[Mette Unit Ring 1]

 

No Glue Used

This modular origami model was constructed entirely without the use of glue or any adhesive. The finished structure holds together securely because of how the units are interlocked by inserting a tab-like part of one unit into a slot or pocket of another.

Comments: This wreath/ring looks beautiful from both the front and the back, making it ideal for hanging in a window. Both sides look the same, so I have shown only the front here.
 
The locks between the units can loosen a bit over time, but it is very easy to tighten up the ring again if needed.
 
I used double-sided paper here, but you could also use two different types of single-sided paper.
 
My double-sided paper has a rich pattern of stylized chrysanthemums on the front and a solid color on the reverse.
 
I alternated units folded with the front side of the paper dominant and units folded with the reverse side of the paper dominant.
 
The finished model looks quite elegant -- and it earned a Blue Ribbon at the 2020 Charlotte County Fair.
