Im having issues with the end of it. I have tucked... and folded in every possible way and it doesn't look anything like the end of the video. I did find a way to end up with four yellow visble sections and 4 white alternating... but they don't look like a petal as it does in the video. can anyone explain in detail whats going on in the end of the video.... I really wanna make one of these.

i made one as a mid term project, very relaxing =) but for some reason mine took around 46, dunno why.. anyhoo i gave it to my nan for her bithday and she hung it up with thin string, so if the light shines on it, it looks like its just floating =)

I like the look of this, and would like to try it, but am I the only one who does not get the final third of the video? It just gets to the unfold bit and then cuts out.

Hi, if you are having trouble viewing the video, you can find my video elsewhere on the internet too, perhaps
this link will work for you.

These can be extremely beautiful and longer lasting if you make them out of fabric. Just starch the fabric first before folding

jeez man no offense but no one will be able to do this cause the last step in folding can not be seen

i know that you've gotten a lot of comments about this, but it really is a problem... your hands just make it too hard to figure out what you are doing in the last two steps, I got the whole way without any problems, until you unfolded it. great ible though

I was right with you until the last part when you fold in and tuck...your fingers are in the way and I just cannot figure out what you did

I hate glue as well. I find it a pain to wait for it to dry, and it's too messy. I just use hot glue instead, it takes less than a minute to harden and it's much cleaner than ordinary glue.

This is awesome, however I don't think I could find the time to fold 36 of these lol.

I've been making Kusudama to give as ornaments using a different fold for the flowers. I absolutely love this fold, you can really use it alone as well! Great Job :)

I've seen lots of different kinds of Kusudama patterns :) I think this is one of the more "standard" ones.
