And now for the final step! Glue the two halves together to complete your kusudama. You’re almost done! If you want, glue a loop of string down the middle of one half so you can hang it up somewhere. If you haven’t already, finishing making the other six flowers and glue them together into their own half-sphere. Crease fold crisply a bone folder works well and saves your fingers if you are making a lot. Fold your paper square diagonally, bringing the bottom point to the top. The six flowers together should sort of resemble half of a sphere. (you can use any size square, but this is the basic sized flower) If you use a 12 x 12, you can maximize your paper use.
Flowers & Stalks: 7.5 x 7.5 cm (or similar). Just like with the individual flowers, make sure you let the glue dry before continuing on. You will need: Flower Stem Holder: 12.5 x 12.5 cm (To get the correct size stem holder, divide your pot paper size by 1.4). Start with two of your flowers and glue them together by two petals. Once you’ve got six flowers completed, you can start on the kusudama!

I only painted the edges of my flowers, but feel free to try something else out. You can either keep making flowers until you’ve made all 12 for the kusudama, or you can paint them as you go along. It should look like a flower at this point. Once the first two are dry, add a third cone.Ĭontinue adding on until you’ve got all five cones glued together. Take two of your cones and glue them together like this:īe sure you let the glue dry before you add on to it. Once you’ve got five little cones, you’re ready to make your first flower! Without creasing the paper, bring the top two triangles together to make a cone shape and glue it in place. Open up both side flaps all the way and squash them down into kite shapes.įold the top points of the kite shapes down to make a straight line.įold the two side corners in along the preexisting creases. Next, fold the two corners up to the top so you have a smaller square.įold the two flaps down so the inside edges meet the outside edges. First, fold your square in half so it’s a triangle.
You’re going to do the exact same thing to each square. Measure and cut your paper into 2 inch squares (you need 60 of them to make 12 flowers for the kusudama).
