How to make Kusudama Flower ball

Kusudama paper flower is an ancient old Japanese craft. These are Origami paper shapes glued together. These are basically used for decorations.

I have here made this kusudama ball as good decorative piece. Here i explained step by step method for kususdama flower making. I hope you all will enjoy this new technique.

Materials required:
1. Origami paper (any colour)
2. Glue

Method:

1. First of all you need to cut around 60 square pieces each of 7cm x7cm.

2. Here is the first step after you cut the first square piece. Fold the bottom corner to the top. You will get a triangle shape by this.



3. Fold the left and right corners up to the middle corner and make a square shape.





4. Fold the same points down. Do the same folding to both sides.





5. Open up the flaps and flatten them. Flatten both the sides equally.





6. Fold the top triangles towards you so they are level with the edges of the paper.



7. Fold the triangles back using the crease you made earlier and glue the outside triangles together ans you will again get a square shape.



8. Now fold the two together and glue it.



Similarly make 5 petals for one flowers. Glue all together and make a flower. Similarly make 12 such flowers.

Now glue each flowers one by one to the petal and make half circle. This way you will make 2 half balls.

Here is the way to make Kusudama ball.
