this is not a very good photo,since the kusudama was roughly handled by a two and three year old. LOL.

my kiddies found it and mashed it. it is now dead.

kusudama!
i made this today, using post-it notes! woohoo! using the instructions here:
the peace of paper - origami flowers-kusudama flowers link via curbly.com. the flower is a little shabby since it is my first. it wasn't behaving as i was glueing it together and kept popping open. my main mistake was using a gluestick which wasn't holding properly. you are supposed to using paper glue, like Elmer's or something.
then, i remembered i had liquid clear glue, but the applicator was broken and had a tendency to leak. i had to pour some out on a little jar lid and use a toothpick to apply the glue. this time it worked to stay.
i'm going to attempt an entire kusudama ball.

cute japanese stationery! print and cut! easy. :D from: the printout factory! must have adobe reader to read and save these files! You just cut out the envelope and pages from an adobe .pdf file.
I cut the envelope out with a hobby knife and ruler on a cutting mat. I used a pair of scrapbooking scissors to add an interesting edge to it.
