As I've mentioned in a previous post, one of my goals was to make an origami flower ball thing just because it's badass. I was inspired by the above YouTube video made by Chloe Dao.
There's no way I have the space for a ginormous flower ball made from whole construction paper sheets as Chloe had done, so I used pre-cut origami paper. I cut those squares down to four even pieces, because a) I had in mind that it would make a cute ornament for Christmas (which I totally didn't finish it in time for) and b) it's only for fun to see how long it would take to do.
I've been working on it off an on at my desk at work during lunch. As you can see, I have two of the 12 flowers completed. Each flower uses up 5 squares, so you need a total of 60 squares per ball. I cut up 15 sheets of the full sized pre-cut squares into 60 sheets of 1/4 sized squares. I pretty much followed the video above to make the cones. Once I had five cones, I taped them together with tiny pieces of scotch tape (which was not visible at all). I'm going to wait until I have all 12 flowers completed before I start assembling.
