A Kusudama Japanese flower ball. I found the instructions on craft gawker, and had to give it a go. VERY time consuming, but fun. The paper ball I made is no wider than one inch, I should have added a dime to the picture for some perspective. Tiny petals are hard to make and shape well!
Materials:
- Floral wrapping paper - $0, found unused on the roll in the recycling.
- Scissors - $0, found while dumpster diving.
- Glue - $0, found at the bottom of crafting supplies our family was going to throw away.
- Paper clip- $0, dumpster diving.
My only waste produced was small clippings of paper, which I will use to make my handmade paper.
I will definitely try this again, the first time was more of a practice. The wrapping paper was FAR too flimsy to hold a nice fold and it changes shape too easily, so I'll be using magazine paper next. I'm going to add beads to the middle of the flower next time as well to add some glam.
My next post will be on a sewing project I'm working on. Feel free to leave me a comment with suggestions, requests, insults, the like. My email address is dirtyhippiecrafts@gmail.com, you can contact me there as well..
