Kosudama ─ This is such a paper spherical figure, as well as the origami type, it is performed with several identical origami figures that glue between themselves. Also Kosudama is the predecessor of modular origami. This term came to us from Japan. And initially he meant a medicinal ball, the Japanese was placed in him and suspended over the patient's bed. Also, this ball served as storage for Fimiam and aromatic mixtures with dried herbs and petals. But now these balls are called the balls of happiness, and they are used as a piece of decor for home or are an excellent decoration for a wedding, a birthday and any other holiday. Also Kusudama can serve as a gift for relatives and friends for any celebration. Therefore, we propose to make the origami Kusudam together.

Now let's place a lace or a ribbon, depending on that you select the cosudam to hold. To do this, take beads and ride them on the lace. The first and last beads fasten the nodule to fix them in place.
It remains only to connect the elements of our future ball, for this you need to apply a small amount of glue inside the fold.
Then we glue the lace to the upper and lower petal, but the glue should be applied to the center of the petal. We will glue the second part of the ball when glue dry on the first.
