I used a sample of Recycled School Glue that I recently received from Nine Lives Products to create my flower. Their glues are made from recycled styrofoam and plant-based ingredients. I absolutely love the idea of creating something useful, like glue, from something that would otherwise just be piling up in landfills. And a bonus, the glue smells like oranges.
Materials

Directions
Kusudama is like origami. The individual parts of your creation are made by folding paper and then they are joined together with glue.
After your flower is dry, you can use it to decorate as you choose. Next, I'll show you how to create an impressive flower ball ornament with a dozen of these kusudama blossoms.
