Kusudama Origami ♥

aloha, :D It's been a long time since i last updated my blog :p
Not long ago, I found this Origami tutorial which is very simple and aweeeeesome :D
it's called Kusudama

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.

Here's the steps ! Try it :)

Fold the bottom corner to the top. This will make a triangle

Fold the left and right corners up to the middle corner.  This makes a square

Fold the same points down. The folded edge will line up exactly on top of the outside edge of the square

Open up the flaps you have just created and flatten them

Fold the top triangles towards you so they are level with the edges of the paper

Fold the triangles back using the crease you made earlier and glue the outside triangles together. Now make 5 more of these petals and glue them all together

  

 I've tried it and here's some pictures of it :P
