How to make an Origami Kusudama

barbabellaatje
thanks!

You shake pretty much ^^

30 squares as many colours as you like 0_O

it seems so easy but, i cant understand....how many colours and sheets i need?

---TIPS---
- Imagine the hole between the first 5-piece ring you create as the polar opposite of where you will finish. Think of it as the base and evenly build up the sides.

- Use a little glue on the leftover flaps in 2:02. Your Kusudama is still freely attached and can be assembled or disassembled at will. It saves a LOT of aggravation with the pieces popping apart during assembly.

-- If you can't figure the assembly out why, watch the video to see exactly what direction the pieces point.

Whoooooaaaarrrgggh!!! The "G-WORD" again!! ; )

i think i did it all fine up until the closing pieces and ive done it like 10 times and just made pillars D: i call them pillars of shame XD

I just successfully made one. Here's how I assembled it.
1. Interlock the first three parts as shown in this video.
(3:30)
2. Use two of the three as part of an adjacent 5-piece ring.
(4:00)
3. Add one additional piece to each of the remaining 4 offshoots of the 5-piece ring. You now have 5 connected in the center and 5 on the outside (making 3-piece connections). You have to keep it slightly curved so it stays together.
(4:10)

4. Continue connecting the pieces in ONLY 5-piece and 3-piece rings. Each 5-piece ring is surrounded by 3-piece ones and vice versa. There is no alternative number for this design.
5. When you near the full shape, the final piece or "cornerstone" if you will must insert both of its flaps into adjacent slots, as well as insert the remaining two flaps of the adjacent pieces into the cornerstone piece.

gah!! i have all 30 pieces but i cant put them all 2gether!! D: could u make a vid on how to put them 2gether 1 by 1 plz D:
