Kusudama Flower Ball Part 3- Making the Ball

After completing Part 2, you should have either 6 flowers (if you're making a bouquet) or 12 flowers (if you're making a ball).
To make either one, you are going to glue the flowers together.  I have drawn lines on this flower to show you where to glue.

Stick the second flower to the first.

Continue doing the same to the second flower...

...and the next, until you have 5 joined flowers forming a circle.


The space left at the top is the snug home of the 6th flower.  This last petal will be glued to all the others.

This is half of a Kusudama ball.  To complete it, make another half, and glue them together to make a ball.  I have used halves as bouquets to decorate.
For a few simple variations, jump over to Part 4.
