Nova Kusudama (Designed by Aditya Kumbhare)


History

This next design of mine has a funny story behind it. I designed this piece in school during lunchtime and made and connected all the pieces when I got home. Because of how hard I made my creases, the pieces wouldn't stay open at the angle that I wanted them to, so I put a bobby pin on each tip and kept the Kusudama aside.

I then proceeded to forget about it for 2 months.

When I removed the bobby pins from the Kusudama, it was so sturdy it could afford to be thrown around.

The final product used 30 pieces of patterned tuttle paper. 

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!

Expand Kusudama (dimpled variation) folded by Aditya Kumbhare (Adi)  History I started making this kusudama in the car during a road trip based off of a design I saw online. The pieces take a small amount of time to make, and the final product turned out to be very big. So, I had the idea of pushing the tips in to make it smaller, essentially dimpling the Kusudama. I also folded the flaps down behind to strengthen the connection. Once I had put it together, I took a picture on the side of the road and took it apart for storage during the rest of the trip.  Disclaimer: the size of the paper that can be used isn't limited to the sizes I used!
