My Kusudama Flower Dodecahedron

I didn't use my BC to make this but did want to share it. This was so much fun to make and a great stress reliever!
There are many youtube video's showing how to make these.

I purchased an origami paper pack at Michaels. They were 6" by 6" and had these pastel ones in one side and a darker set on the other.

I had to look at this thread to see if the title was in English. Happy it meant pretty flower things.
I just went and watched them making one petal for an apple blossom one here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEeMVaseGGg&feature=fvsr De stress? One petal would put me in therapy. How did you do that?

There is a site called folding trees, that shows details on how to make these. I first tried it with post it notes, It doesn't work well with them. Not at all.

Wow - just looked at both those sites. I used to do a lot of origami and teabag folding, but this takes it to a whole new level! That is patience to the nth degree!!

I have even more respect and admiration for the flower that Connie made. I think I agree with Kate - not at all sure that would be a stress reliever for me - think I would be major stressed just trying to get it right! (although I can imagine once you got the hang of it it could be relaxing....... I suppose!!) Think I will leave it to others to try. I will just admire the beauty of Connie's completed treasure!

I finally after I don't know how many attempts managed to make one once. But it didn't look nearly as pretty. Connie what type of paper did you use.
