Melissa's Kusudama

 

I know what you're thinking..."What the heck is kusudama?"  /koo-soo-dah-ma/  The easiest way for me to explain it is as 3 dimensional origami.  You take a square of paper, and fold it a certain way to create one piece.  You make many "pieces" then assemble them into 3D cubes, balls, or ornaments.  They take a while to make so I've only done a few, but they are actually very relaxing to create.  And the results are amazing!
