Daily Origami: 495 - Floral Kusudama

Origami: Floral Kusudama
Designed By: Tomoko Fuse
Made by: Heather
----------
Today's origami lesson is four hundred and ninety-five in the series. Today we will continue our series of modular projects. We are going to make a more traditional kusudama, or decorative ball. These are usually made up of flowers that are sewn together in rows and then tied together to create a ball that is hung up for decoration. You can really try to make these with lots of different flower designs. This one is a flower that also has an accent piece in the center. Kusudama take time and lots of paper but they are very beautiful. I was thinking I was going to make a couple for you guys here, but this one took too long for daily origami so I will need to save up some time to get another design together for you guys.

@happypuppytruffles, how did you curl the flowers? :)

[happypuppytruffles]

@OhYeahOrangeYeah If you use a pencil or round stick, like a knitting needle, you can roll the edges of the flowers around that and it will curl the flowers. Best of luck and thanks for watching!

did u use the same paper todo the yellow part

[happypuppytruffles]

@isaacT45 Yes, the paper for the outer pink part and the paper for the center are the same size. Thanks for watching!

Do you think I could do this with 3 inch by 3 inch paper? Would things get too tiny to fold, or could I handle it? (I have tiny fingers.)

[happypuppytruffles]

@tsuntsunxue Yes, this is doable with smaller paper. Smaller paper tends to make stronger kusudama too. Best of luck! Thanks for watching!
