More paper flowers for wedding…
via mybohemiansummer:
It’s Tutorial Tuesday!! Super quick and easy flower I designed just for you!
I designed this flower to be uncomplicated and beautiful. Introducing the MBS Heart Kusudama. Made with five heart shaped petals, that when put together, has a cutie star shaped center. I promise even in your first attempt, it will take you no more than five minutes to put this modular flower together.
If you are feeling froggy you can make 12 of these flowers and put them together in a kusudama flower ball. I will be putting up a tutorial how to make a flower ball later on. Until then…
Happy Folding!
Howto for make origami tulips… perhaps to accompany the roses?
