Product Description
Product Description
Kusudama is a decorative ball, which is originally used on festive occasions. It is now popular as ornaments and mobiles. Kusudama of origami is composed of a variety of units joined together. It is different from ordinary unit origami, because it uses string or glue to put it together. This book illustrates how to make a basic traditional kusudama with six sides and then develops it into gorgeous kusudama by adding colourful simple unit to it. In the same method, the book introduces a basic cube with four square sides and a basic ball with six square sides and eight sides of regular triangle together. Their enchanting applications will be irresistible to you. Included also are such fascinating works as a hydrangea, a handball of bellflower, a bouquet of lilies and a sea urchin.

Kusudama Origami,
By
This review is from: Kusudama Origami (Paperback)
Kusudama origami is a really good book, because it shows you how to make several different types of balls, cubes and much more.Kusudama origami is one of many types of origami and is different because you can use glue, string or any other stationary item to fix it together.My first project from this book was a large ball, it took me half a day to make all the parts and put it all together, but a simple cube took me only took me half an hour.

Glue and string required -- just so you know!,
By Agnes Tomorrow - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Kusudama Origami (Paperback)
I guess I was spoiled by the wonderful boxes and stars and balls and all, but for some reason I was expecting these to follow her previous practice of assembling without recourse to glue and/or string. These, however, in the fashion of traditional kusudama, do require the inclusion of materials other than paper. I found this a bit disappointing... That said, the models are, as one has come to expect from Tomoko Fuse, lovely and interesting variations on traditional patterns and amazing innovations, and I recommend this book enthusiastically! If you understand in advance that this is not strictly modular origami like her other books, you'll be spared the modicum of disappointment I felt. 15 of 15 people found the following review helpful:

Fun and interesting designs,
By A. Durrett - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Kusudama Origami (Paperback)
I bought this book a couple of weeks ago and can't seem to stop folding...The instructions are easy to follow, provided you know a little bit about origami (just some basic folding techniques, which you can learn online.) The designs are very interesting, though very time consuming. Block out some time to do this! When I finished my first Kusudama piece, I was so pleased at how beautiful it was. I have experimented with lots of different papers and achieved great results, even with papers that were not japanese. My favorite is the bouquet of lilies, which is stunning in bright colors. I definitely recommend this book to those who would like to pick up a new hobby and wow their friends and family with amazing gifts.

The models are very easy for an experienced folder and turn out beautiful. Everybody whom I have shown them to was amazed. The figures are wonderful and are great gifts.
