Made for projecteducate 's Try something new challenge fav.me/d55ic98 , which unexpectedly, i won

My first ever Kusudama, or any other artisan craft for that matter.
It isn't perfect, but that's the best i could do using thick paper (nobody told me normal paper would be so much better T_T).
I used 12 flowers (5 petals each - 60 in total) to make this Kusudama.

It took me 6+ hours because of the thick paper and lack of experience. I had glue all over my fingers and at one point i ended up with the glue bottle stuck on my foot (i used my feet to hold the bottle).
I tried to staple the first flower, but it looked horrible because of the thick paper (that flower is hanging from my ceiling right now), so i decided to use glue for the next ones.
The worst part in using thick paper is that when i had to glue together all the flowers they kept falling apart (not flexible at all). I do not recommend thick paper!

I dedicate this to the very kind and talented jane-beata . Take a look at her gallery, you'll fall in love with it
