Kusudama flower ball

[alathia.livejournal.com]

Kusudama balls traditional are made of the same origami shapes glued together. I did this as part of a culture lesson with my kids on Japanese art and paper art, and they had a blast making the flowers. Our flowers are a bit bigger, the papers are 6"x6" (in order to be easier for little hands to fold), to make the flowers.
