Kusudama Flower Ball Part 4- Simple Variations

Now that you have mastered the Kusudama Ball Instructions, here are a few very simple variations. 

In this first variations, you can see the center of the flower is white instead of pink like the petals.

The only thing done differently with this flower is in Step 9 in Part 1 .  Instead of folding the triangular flaps back, fold them forward.  Then, resume with Step 10 of the instructions.

I think this next variation is beautiful.  The petals are white, while the centers have color.

To achieve this look, simply begin with Step 1, only keep the plain side of the square on the outside.

When you get to Step 9, make sure to fold the triangular flaps forward.

Lastly, is a variation in how to fold Step 9...also.  The difference in this flower will be barely noticeable from the original, but it does have a slightly neater appearance.

Instead of folding the triangular flaps all the way to the back of the square, fold them back and tuck them between the paper.

Here is a view of both flaps folded bask and between the paper.  Continue on with Step 10.

Also, in the first Kusudama Flower Ball Post I did, you'll notice I glued beads to the centers of the flowers.  That was like icing on the cake!

You can also see that I made ribbon loops to hang the balls with.  Do this by simply gluing a ribbon on half of the ball before you connect it with the other half.
