By folding five or six square sheets of paper you can make a nice one kusudamamake flour.If you make twelve flowers you can stick them together to make a beautiful one kusudamaball. Even if you use colorful sticky notes, the result is impressive and you can use the flower as a decoration or even wear it temporarily as a brooch.

To step

1. Wait for the glue all the way is dry before removing the paperclips. Otherwise you run the risk of the leaves coming loose.

Tips

• Make sure the edges of the square are all even so you don't have problems with overlapping pieces.
• First prepare all 5 sheets of paper. Fold the first sheet and then the rest of the five. You will be able to work faster this way.
• Make 12 of these flowers and glue them together to make a traditional kusuda ball.
• Stick a pipe cleaner at the bottom of the flower to give it a colorful stem.
• Try to wait until the glue is no longer so wet before sticking the leaves together.
• Make even bigger flowers by using larger sheets of paper.
• Make sure to make crisp, precise, and neat folds. This will make your flower look sleek and smooth.
• Don't use too much glue. Your flower will probably look best if you use clear glue.
• Choose beautiful bright colors.
