Me and my daughter just cracked up. We bought this little origami kit with only 25 sheets and a instruction book but it was hard to understand this one so we looked it up on TH-cam. So we started watching this and doing it step by step. Took us like 15 mins to figure out the first sheet. At this point we are so proud that we made it that far. Then he said, “Now you need to make 29 more. We just lost it at that point. I just just had to share. I guess I will be looking for some with less paper until I get more.
i highly recommend using a more textured paper for this kusudama! I was using a shiny origami paper and they kept sliding out even if the connection was tight 😅
I managed to make one year ago and failed ever since. But today I managed another one. Thank you for the instructions. I think this one is easier with a bit thicker paper, this helps with stability when putting it together.
awesome video ez! u make the most difficult models seem so easy well this was a easy model !!! hey in your next videocould u teach more flashers ? other then the original one u already taught jeremy shafer has a whole playlist of flashers could u teach them pls? thx
A different kind of a sonobe module. Looks great. Like the way it's explained, especially the idea of drawing the lines for the convenience of those who are new to origami, is a good one. :) Thanks for this. PS: Isn't this kusudama a stellated icosahedron?
Wonderful tutorial as always Evan, I'm thinking of using some duo kraft paper for this one, not sure whether to risk 5cm squares! On another note, I'm currently in conversation with Maria discussing the possibility of making a tutorial on one of her models and wanted to ask if I could borrow sone of your presentation techniques? :)
Thanks Edward! 5cm squares may be a bit small, but the units are very simple so I'm sure you can handle it. I easily folded the kusudama in the thumbnail using 7.5cm squares of duo kraft paper. And feel free to borrow some of my presentation techniques! I really look forward to seeing your tutorial! :)
Thank you Evan. I've decided to go with 7.5cm and cut up some black/green kraft paper, so hopefully I'll be able to fold it this evening. Thank you, I haven't forgotten about the video of the Star Icosahedron... just puzzling over the best way to clearly demonstrate the hexagonal twist step :)
Hey Ez! It's a very nice tutorial. I will probably make it! Although I don't have smaller paper. If I use large paper, will it be loose? Very nice tutorial man! I like the way how you teach!!!!!
It tends to depend on the thickness of paper... smaller units work better with thin paper and larger units with thicker paper. If you are using A4 copy paper e.g. then you may like to cut it into a square and then cut into quarters to give 4 10.5cm squares or into ninths to give 9 7cm squares. I'd probably avoid using smaller than 7cm with copy paper though otherwise it will become slightly too thick. Smaller than 7cm and kami or crane paper will work well. HTH
I forgot to mention... I usually test fold a unit using some copy paper at larger than final size to guage what paper size, thickness, pattern etc. would be most suitable. By colouring the folded unit and then using crayons, you can unfold and determine what pattern to use if using harmony papers.
I think Edward pretty much covered it. These units lock together pretty well, but I would definitely recommend using thicker paper if it is already large to start with. My other suggestion would be to cut a larger square into smaller squares which would probably lock together better. You can also test out your paper by folding this cube from 6 of the same units: th-cam.com/video/-R5jJMapK-U/w-d-xo.html

I love your kusadama tutorials. I'm pretty awful at modular origami, but your tutorials have helped me out a lot!
I really enjoy your videos- so easy to follow along. I personally would love to see you fold more kusudamas. Thanks for all your hard work!

i love watching origami videos!!! this is great!
Please make another video more slow about the ensamble part!
I would love to see a demo for her imperial rose.
wow so nice and interesting video! you make a great job! Thank u my friend!
Thanks for watching-- I'm glad you enjoyed the video! :)

Very nice and awesome you kusudama
ez origami if I used small square paper will it collapse please answer and keep up the amazing work
I really wanna do this but idk if I want to use 30 5cm paper cuz I just have a lot of 5cm paper but I think it will be harder

Thanks for your feedback-- I'm glad you enjoyed the video! And you're right, this kusudama is a stellated icosahedron.

AWESOME
Yeah yah!
