Kusudama Tutorial part 1

About

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.

Today I am showing you part 1 on how to make the Japanese traditional shape. There are many different patterns to make a kusudama ball but I find this the easiest pattern to get started. This is also the pattern I used to make the pink flowers on the tree in the banner.

Printable Patterns (8)

What you need for this tutorial is:

Site search

60 pieces of paper cut into squares. The pieces are each 7 x 7 cm or 3 inches square.

Glue

Quilling (12) Readers' Pics (19) Recycling (84)

w w w .flickr.com

Below I will show you how to make the basic shape, you need to make 60 of these. Every flower will then have 5 of these shapes or petals glued together, making a total of 12 flowers. I will explain how to glue them together in a tutorial later this week…, you can find part 2 here.

Even a single kusudama flower can make a beautiful decoration: my friend made her bridal invitations in purple and green and she included a bright yellow Kusudama flower with each one… gorgeous!

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

Folding Trees on Facebook

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.

Folding Trees Âť Kusudama Tutorial part 1

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. (This will result in 3 little petals on the inside of your petal; if you fold the top triangles away from you, this will result in only 1 petal on the inside of the petal â&#x20AC;&#x201C; see variation on pattern below.)

Folding Trees » Kusudama Tutorial part 1

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. Make sure you wait until the glue is dry after every petal and take your time. You will need 12 flowers to complete the kusudama ball; I will show you how to complete it later this week, you can find part 2 here.

We would love to see what you made using this tutorial so please post a pic to the Folding Trees Flickr group - it’s open to everybody. If you’d like to see some more original Folding Trees tutorials by Eve or June have a look here.

Comment from lowrahk Time: November 16, 2008, 2:10 pm When I glue the individual petals, and when I am gluing the flower together, I use paperclips to hold the pieces together.

I made them from an old Smithsonian magazine that was in my office’s waiting room and they look amazing. They are so simple and easy to make. Ive been making a few each night on auto pilot as the BF and I watch episodes of Star Trek: Voyager on DVD. I think that these will also store very well for next year, as they are pretty darn sturdy. I tried making some out of an old calendar last night (thicker paper) and I had a little trouble getting them to stay glued. [...]

Comment from Mcmol Time: June 26, 2009, 4:39 pm Do you have any information on how these were/could be used for incense? Just curious.

Also any ideas on use of just the individual flowers and not the whole ball? The flowers are so pretty by themselves, and I would like to teach my girl scout troop how to make them. But am struggling about what to “do” with the individual flowers.

Thanks!

Any ideas would be great!

Pingback from It’s Only A Paper Flower « Rycrafty Time: March 8, 2011, 1:26 pm [...] Another conclusion was that I was going to have a hard time picking flowers, because they’re all pretty!

I didn’t want real flowers that had been dyed either. It was hard to pick, so I put it off, like I do with all hard decisions. Then I started seeing all sorts of other flowers in blogland: felt flowers, fabric flowers, ric-rac flowers, button flowers, paper flowers…. [...]

Comment from Marie Time: March 6, 2012, 3:44 pm C es fleurs sont superbes. Merci pour ce tutoriel, que j’ai fait découvrir également aux lecteurs de mon blog.

Comment from J3 Time: March 7, 2012, 3:15 am THank you for having the instructions I needed to make this “tree”. Someone at the VA Med C tr where I go in Oklahoma C ity showed me the neatest flowers she made out of this design. Finally found out they are “trees” and couldn’t find the directions in a book – I lost the example she had made. This is just what I need to do at work in between calls as other are busy knitting/crocheting and I needed somethng to break the stress of being on the phones. Is there a book you thnk is excellent for foldingtrees.com/2008/11/kusudama-tutorial-part-1/

Folding Trees » Kusudama Tutorial part 1 Time: May 14, 2012, 5:10 pm I saw a branch with these flowers today and fell in love and when I googled paper flower, an image of these popped up and a link here! They were so easy…I made them out of old music sheets. I needed 7 petals to make a full looking flower (and added some chalking for a bit of color. I used THE BEST GLUE EVER from ScraPerfect and it worked great because it sticks and holds right away…and to out them altogether…I just put a dab of glue on the petal and let it sit for a little bit. The glue gets stickier as it dries so it went together in a snap!

Thanks for the clear directions!
