I've always loved the art of oragami. This weekend, Emilee and I were thinking of what she was going to give her mom for Mother's Day. We decided to make some paper flowers for her so she could keep them forever instead of having them die. It would also be something pretty to show off instead of a card that would eventually end up in a drawer.
After googling high and low, we found this site. This is amazing! I've been looking through her site, and she has some really cool stuff! Emilee and I worked on the Kusudama Flowers. We made a boquet for her mom and a Kusudama Ball for her grandma.
These are so fun to make! Our fingers were pretty sore after making 36 flowers, but the end result was definitely worth it. We used a pop can as the vase and prettied it up with some transparent paper.
Now that I've mastered this pattern, I want to undertake this pattern for cherry blossoms. I think this would make a nice accent piece for the bathroom downstairs.
