I stumbled upon
this tutorial for these lovely Kusudama origami flowers a few months ago. I made quite a few of them from pages from an old childrens' encylopedia and then didn't really have any ideas of how I was going to display them. I was looking at some wooden chopsticks from some sushi and I thought that's just what those flowers need. So I glued a chopstick down the middle of each flower, now they can be easily displayed in a vase and the intricate pattern can be admired. I thought about using wire to attatch them on some fallen branches too and I tried gluing some together to make a flower ball, although it seems quite right for origami flowers to be on chopsticks and of course it's great way to use up all those chopsticks too.
