No tools used for curling, no glue used for assembly.


Single unit with Completed Kusudama ball
It is easy to make units and assemble. Didn't find any problem. It's a beautiful bunch of paper flowers.It looks more beautiful in real than in photo.



Interesting math:

When we fold the first two steps, we actually dividing 90 degrees into three 30 degree angle. Simple proof using Trigonometry:

 θ = 60 degrees.
 α = θ / 2 = 30 degrees. (α is angular bisector of θ)

I have used 4 inch square sheet. Side of square would be 4 inch. AB is 4 inch since we fold the tip of below right corner of square, let's say D, to point A. Hence AB = BD = 4 inch.
