Kusudama flower ball

The first craft i did after college is the Kusudama flower ball. This is a form of 3d origami.

Below are the steps :

Take a square piece of paper, the size can vary between 4 to 8 inches. Make sure the paper is slightly thick(origami paper). Origami paper can be bought in any stationary store.

Follow the steps shown in the below images to make one petal.

Stick both the ends to form a petal.



Now, join 5 such petals to make a flower.

You will need 12 such flowers to make a kusudama ball. Make 2 halves of the ball using 6 flowers each and finally join them together.
