We bring to your attention the classic kusudama, which is called the “Triple Pancake”. This model got such a strange name by the name of the folding method. Kusudama is not as complicated as it seems at first glance, you just need to be more careful in the sequence of manipulations and carefully follow the instructions. The sharpness of the folds is also of great importance for the appearance. For kusudama, you need six identical square pieces of paper with a side of at least 21 cm. It will not be possible to fold a smaller square beautifully, since you need to make many folds. Paper weight is also important, ideal the same as office paper. Kusudama from paper of the same color looks beautiful, but squares of different colors also look beautiful and original. .
