Creating the Warm Clover Mobile

This is a new mobile that I have been working on. I’ve been trying to find new models to make and the Clover Kusudama caught my eye. This is another one designed by Maria Sinayskaya and the diagram can be found here: Go Origami!

This mobile uses a red base with purple, magenta and pink accents. I choose to use three kusudama of medium and small size with the paper ranging from 7.5cm  to 5 cm.

The pieces themselves were fairly easy to fold. I did have some difficulty assembling the kusudama though. The interlocking pocket was fairly small so I used some glue to hold the model together. Overall, the kusudama look really pretty!

Assembling the kusudama

Assembly of the mobile was simple. I choose to use a curved wire frame for this mobile as well.
