If you are a lover of original gift ideas or a fan of bright interior accessories, then the following information will certainly interest and be useful.
Recently, many needlewomen began to master such art as Kusudama. Origami in such an exotic form came to us from ancient Japan and won the hearts and skillful hands of our craftswomen.
Kusudama is a ball of paper flowers. From colored paper, the necessary number of inflorescence elements is expertly performed. Creating such a paper charm, it is desirable to master the basics of modular origami. However, you also need to know the differences: in modular origami, you only need to insert the modules into one another, and in kusudama you can glue and stitch the parts.
Most often, flowers are made up of small pieces of paper, from which later they get kusudama lily, rose, hyacinth, and iris. They are performed by folding paper squares for subsequent connection in a large beautiful ball.
All the advantages of its creation is that for its manufacture you need only beautiful paper and your good mood, perseverance and a great desire to create the so-called "medicinal ball". That is exactly what the word "kusudama" sounds in the literal translation from Japanese. Lily or rose, woven from many individual inflorescences, can be monophonic and multi-colored. However, it is necessary to listen to your aesthetic flair and carefully consider in which corner of the interior this stylish accessory will find its place.
For example, kusudama lily is a very beautiful and delicate piece of furniture. It is suitable as an addition to curtains and harmoniously fits into the design of the window. The pointed petals look very distinctly, resembling a living flower. Of the existing types of flower bites, the performance of this particular inflorescence is one of the most beloved (along with roses).
Let's see how Kusudama Lily is made. A diagram in the form of illustrative material is presented below. It represents a step-by-step execution and will help you to navigate this intricate process at first. But over time, when you understand the algorithm and the specifics of working with paper, the difficulties will disappear by themselves.
So, to get kusudama lily, take a sheet of paper, prepare a square from it. The size of the lily you get will depend on its size.
Bend it in half along the diagonal line, then again the same way, only on the other side.
You should get two intersecting diagonal lines.
Further, carefully looking at the movements of the hands in the photographs, try to repeat everything from beginning to end.
We begin to form the first petal. Make sure that all fold lines match to the maximum. Lily will turn out clearer.
After the first petal is formed, by analogy we do all four.
Turning the last side, you get an unequal rhombus. Where the short part is the future petals. The longer part will serve as the base of the flower.
Next, you need a little patience. From the inside of each petal, paper should be wrapped to the middle. You need to do this so that the corner - the top of the lily leaf - is sharp and symmetrical.
We work through the base like petals with the difference that we wrap the paper in the outer middle. So do on each of the four sides.
In the end, when your lily is ready, twist the tips of the petals to it, giving it a more lively and playful look.
Make the required amount of inflorescences. It's up to you how lush you want the ball. Gather flowers in rows of several in a row (maybe 4 lilies) and form into a ball. If you feel that somewhere it is necessary to help to become a harmonious row of flowers using glue, then please do it.
That's it! Your kusudama lily is ready to please the eye! Good luck!
