Polkadot Kusudama (Designed by Aditya Kumbhare)

 

History

This was my second attempt at finding the largest Kusudama that can be folded from 30 three-inch square sheets of paper. The resulting Kusudama ended up being slightly smaller than my Jumbo Kusudama, but when I folded the units using tuttle paper, the result had little polka-dots on every vertice.

The connection method for this Kusudama is very strange. It uses a flap and pocket system that requires folding the paper backward and under a corner of the other piece. This makes the final product very sturdy despite its large size.

The final product used 30 sheets of square Tuttle paper, with a different color on the back. 

Disclaimer: the size of the paper that can be used isn't limited to the sizes I used! As long as the paper is square, it will work. Just make sure to choose a paper size that you are comfortable folding with!
