Step 1: Required Supplies

All you will need to construct this Kusudama flower is five pieces of square paper. You can use regular or origami paper, but origami paper will be easier to use. Also, you will need some type of adhesive; super glue would be preferred.

Step 2: First Fold

Take the square piece of paper and fold it in half along the diagonal axis. Push down firmly on the fold, to create a crease.

Step 3: Reforming a Square

Fold both the right and left corners of the triangle up to the top, forming a square.

Step 4: Making the Flaps

Fold the left and right corners of the triangle so that the edges meet the diagonal creases you made in Step 3.

Step 5: Flattening the Flaps

Unfold each edge and place a finger into the pocket of the flap. Once the flap is opened flatten it down. Refer to figure for clarification.

Step 6: Fold the Top Portions

Fold the top portions of each flap down. Refer to figure.

Step 7: Folding the Flaps

Take each flattened side and fold it in half

Step 8: Forming the Petal

Take each side and bring them together. Do this carefully to make sure the paper is not creased or damaged. Once the sides are positioned correctly glue the sides together. This will create one petal.
