Origami Flower Ball

This is my origami flower kusudama. It has 12 flower modules, but you have to make 60 petals in total. For me it takes about 2-3 hours because there's 60 little individual modules you have to make, as where the average number is usually around 30.

Here's a video I made on how to make it. If you want to try, I suggest that you watch the whole video over before you start to make it, just in case it's too hard. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jW_jYGpmYE

I've also made variations where I make it with different types of magazine paper ads.

You can also make one where you make half of the ball and put a string on it so you can hang it against a wall.
