How to make a Cherry Blossom Ku-Kusudama

Finally completed this Ku-Kusudama (not developing a stutter here...). It was inspired on Ku-Ku's Cherry Blossom Dish ;-)
I soon discovered that 5-petal flowers make great dishes but are quite over stretched. As I wanted to make a dodecahedron (a 12 pentagon ball) (ku-)kusudama I needed a 5-fold so made it with 12 10-petal flowers. Also gluing them together worked out well, the tip of the petal is almost at the perfect angle (see vid!) to make a dodecahedron :-)

[ajonia12]

did you use the glue stick for making gluing the 12 cherry blossoms together or the liquid glue?

[barbabellaatje]

Only the glue stick ; )

[xTrueRomance]

I'm having trouble gluing the flowers together. Got any advice?

[barbabellaatje]

The petals or the completed flowers in the ball? Best to use a glue stick as that does not need drying ; )
