Using 4 inch Japanese Washi paper

3 inch regular kami sheets

4 inch Japanese Washi paper

3 inch Harmony Paper

Designed by : Reiko Nikaido

No of Units : 8 squares

I used Origami kami paper, Harmony paper, Japanese Washi double sided. 

I have to say that this mandala is quite simple to fold and assemble. But there's no way to tuck the flap, meaning to lock the flap into the pocket so the unit holds tight. Glue is necessary otherwise the mandala is not sturdy and keeps falling apart.
