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. Just make sure to choose a paper size that you are comfortable folding with!
