Kusudama Flower – Origami

by Madhavi on April 1, 2009

Origami is the Japanese Art of Paper Folding. This is my first attempt in Origami – it’s a kusudama flower ball. I made this using red paper and Sunday magazine newspaper.The Japanese kusudama is a paper ball made out of multiple identical origami shapes glued together. They were traditionally used as a ball for incense or potpourri but now we see them more for decoration or as a gift.

This is truly wonderful. I saw the tutorials. It really requires lot of patience, paper and folding. I am inspired to do this one and hang it in my room. Thanks for introducing a new craft.
