Rose kusudama pre curling

I found these a few days back. And really just wanted to find one nice enough to give my wife. Plus this one being made from 1:2 scale rectangles. I was able to use the left over paper I had from making squares. It is nice to feel like I am wasting paper to.

 

There is a big debate online on when to curl the petals. Normally I swear against curling paper. So I had to try every way I saw. I decided to completely assemble the ball and then take each flap out individually to curl it. It meant assembling the ball twice. And maybe a third time to glue it together. unfortunately I didn't stop enough to get pictures because I was to focused over that

 

 

The page I found this unit has several different units made from several different shapes of paper. And there are lots of videos on YouTube
