Kusudama lily - a noble decoration of your interior

If you are a fan of original ideas for a gift or a fan of bright interior accessories, then the following information will surely be of interest to you and will be useful.

Recently, many needlewomen began to master such art as Kusudama. Origami in this exotic form came to us from an old Japan and conquered the hearts and skillful hands of our craftsmen.

Kusudama is a ball of paper flowers. From the colored paper, the required number of elements-inflorescence is masterfully performed. Creating such a paper charm, it is desirable to own the elements of modular origami. However, you need to know the differences: in modular origami you only need to put modules one into the other, and in Kusudam you can glue and staple the details.

Most often small flowers are added from small pieces of paper, then the lily, rose, hyacinth, and iris are obtained from Kusudama. They are carried out by folding paper squares for subsequent connection to a large beautiful ball.

All the advantages of its creation is that for its production you need only a beautiful paper and your good mood, perseverance and a great desire to create the so-called "drug ball". This is how the word "kusudama" sounds in the literal translation from the Japanese language. Lily or a rose, woven from a variety of separate inflorescences, can be monophonic and multicolored. However, you need to listen to your aesthetic sense and carefully consider in which corner of the interior this stylish accessory will find its place.

For example, Kusudama lily - a very beautiful and delicate subject of the interior. It is suitable as an addition to the curtains and harmoniously fits into the design of the window. Pointed petals look very distinct, resembling a living flower. Of the existing types of flower kusuds, the execution of this particular inflorescence is one of the most beloved (along with roses).

Let's see how the lily is made kusudama. A diagram in the form of an illustrative material is provided below. It is a step-by-step implementation and will help you navigate this at first an intricate process. But over time, when you understand the algorithm and the specifics of working with paper, the complexity will disappear by itself.

So, to get a Kusudama lily, take a piece of paper, prepare a square from it. From its size will depend on what size of the lily you get.

Bend it in half on a diagonal line, then again again the same way, only on the other side.

There should be two overlapping diagonal lines.

Next, carefully looking at the hand movements in the photos, try to repeat everything from beginning to end.

We begin to form the first petal. Make sure that all lines of the folds coincide to the maximum. Lily will be more clear.

After the first petal is formed, by analogy we make all four.

Folding the last side, you get an unequal rhombus. Where the short part is the future petals. The longer part will serve as the base of the flower.

Next, you need a little patience. From the inside of each petal, you should wrap the paper to the center. Make it necessary so that the corners - the top of the lily leaf - was pointed and symmetrical.

The base is worked like petals with the difference that we wrap the paper in the outer center. So do on each of the four sides.

At the end, when your lily is ready, twist the ends of the petals with it, giving it a more lively and playful look.

Make the necessary number of inflorescences. You decide how splendid you want the ball. Collect the flowers in rows in rows of several pieces (maybe 4 lilies) and form into a ball. If you feel that somewhere you need to help to become a slender series of flowers using glue, then please do it.

That's it! Your kusudama lily is ready to please the eye! Successful creativity!
