Origami With Adi

Trinary Cube (Designed by Aditya Kumbhare) History This next design isn't technically a Kusudama, but it does count as modular origami. Each piece is very simple and constitutes one-fourth of a face of the cube. The final product is incredibly sturdy and can handle being chucked off a 30-story building with minimal damage (though I highly suggest not doing that). The structure is also completely hollow, so it makes for an excellent gift box or puzzle box! The final product used 24 square sticky notes of varying colors.  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!  

Starfruit Kusudama (Designed by Aditya Kumbhare) History This next design is one I am very proud of. This was my first time attempting to design an asymmetrical unit. Asymmetrical unit Kusudamas require 60 units instead of 30 and are usually assembled in the shape of an icosidodecahedron (somewhere between an icosahedron and a dodecahedron). The two different connection types both use a flap and a pocket, but of different sizes. One uses a 30-degree angle flap while the other uses a smaller 45-degree flap. The final product used 60 square sticky notes of varying colors.  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.
