Origami Kusudama Flower Decoration

Crafts2Cherish

The Japanese kusudama is a paper ball made out of multiple identical origami shapes glued together.Kusudama originate from ancient Japanese culture, where they were used for incense and potpouri possibly originally being actual bunches of flowers or herbs. The word itself is a combination of two Japanese words kusuri, Medicine, and tama, Ball.
They are now typically used as decorations, or as gifts.With Easter just few days away its a great way to fold a quick origami flower decoration.
