  • You need 12.5 cm x 5 cm size paper strips of 36 pieces in each color. (Total 72 pieces)
  • Take A4 or any size papers of two different colors and cut required number of strips to size

Here I have used pink and light green colored papers for making the vase

Fold the Paper Strips

  • Take one strip of any color and fold it in half longitudinally
  • Once again fold it in half, so that the width of fold is 12.5 mm, having 4 folds
  • Now fold at middle and then at 1/4th portion to form like a square
  • Finally fold edges inside and make a "V" shape as shown

We need to fold all 72 pieces like this

  • Take one pink folded strip and one light green strip
  • Insert light green strip through the pink one as shown. This will form a "L" shape with both the colored strips
  • Continue connecting strips in a zigzag manner
