Spiderman Kusudama (Designed by Aditya Kumbhare)

 

History

Here is another design I made with tuttle paper. For this Kusudama, I didn't use any pre-existing module as a basis. 

I created this module by accident during a car ride. I was folding a sticky note out of boredom and I came across a shape that could possibly work as a module. Folding that shape with tuttle paper created a checkerboard-patterned piece, but when I tried to put three pieces together, I realized that the connection was too weak. An extra fold took care of that and also made the overall structure more spherical.

I asked my parents for name suggestions and they stated the colors and pattern reminded them of Spiderman, so that's what I ended up naming it.

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!
