Origami-kusudama

Christmas time and back home, I though I will surprise my mother by decorating her home.

Being so proud of my own kusudama at home, I wanted to make one for her.Before I left Chennai

I had cut papers of 12cm squares and I thought I had 60 squares for 60 petals , but once I started to make the flowers I found at least 12 short in each colour( orange and blue) so I cut up some magazine covers and wrapping paper to make the rest of the flowers.

It looked good hanging from the ceiling .Detailed tutorial is available here-http://foldingtrees.com/2008/11/kusudama-tutorial-part-1/
