This next image is a great example of how you can take a basic design and make it much larger and more complex with more units. This one is folded from 90 separate units into an origami ball! Image source: Hoya Kusudama, Designed and Folded by Natalia Romanenko Image source: Maiko var, Designed and Folded by Masha AthanasiadiĪ lot of kusudamas have a flowery look to them. Lots of designs like this one curve the paper for an elegant look. You don’t always have to use straight edges either. Image source: Designed and Folded by Ekaterina Lukasheva This one is made from 30 individual units and there’s no glue or tape. The red and silver colours in this design are awesome.

Here’s another great little model that almost resembles a turtle. Image source: Designed and Folded by Maria Sinayskayaīasic instructions for the units are available here The colours of the paper you use have a huge impact. Image source: Sierpinski Triangles, Designed and Folded by Andrey Ermakov It’s folded from 24 separate units and the designs are fantastic. This is a very unique kusudama design because you don’t normally see this much detail on the faces of the shapes.

It’s folded using some of Peter Keller’s excellent paper. Our first kusudama for this post is by Ekaterina Lukasheva who is definitely one of the top kusudama designers out there. Because kusudamas are made from multiple units you can use different coloured paper for some absolutely beautiful results and patterns. You often see kusudamas hanging from a string and a lot of them have fancy tassels hanging from the bottom as well. However if you’re making a kusudama to display and you want to use a bit of tape or glue to make sure it doesn’t fall apart we won’t judge you. A lot of kusudama designs are made in such a way that all the pieces will fit together strongly and you won’t even need glue. If you’re an origami purist then you make kusudamas without any sort of glue, tape or string to hold the units together. They were originally used for incense and potpourri which I guess is where the name comes from. The word “kusudama” literally means “Medicine Ball” when translated from Japanese. If you would like to know more about me, you can check out my about page.Kusudamas are modular origami models where multiple units are fit together to form a ball-like shape.
#Modular origami diagrams how to
You will find lots of tutorials on how to make paper boxes, bows, envelopes, mini books, flowers, butterflies, Japanese characters like Totoro and Hello Kitty, there are simple instructions for beginners and challenging designs for advanced folders too. The origami instructions are often video tutorials, because I find that it is the easiest way to learn origami and for me to teach it to you. Coming up with new origami designs is something I really enjoy doing in my spare time. As well as some traditional models, I try my best to make tutorials for more unique and original designs. The word Origami is a Japanese word – 折り, which is the combination of the words Ori 折り – to fold and Kami 紙 – which means paper. This website has been created so that I can teach you how to make origami – the Japanese art of paper folding.
