Salut, Christine
Le video... Bien... Il a 21.24MB!
J'ai le rencontré en "Metacafe" (en cherchant pour "origami").
Vous pouvez faire la même chose, peut-être...
Je pense qu'il sera difficile de envoyer pour e-mail
mais, dites moi ton e-mail

im having a hard time doing the instruction at 04:01 help please

After you've opened the paper, you'll just follow the creases of the folds you've done before. Just follow them.
I had a hard time trying to do that the first time I've tried. I believe it'll be easier holding three "parts" together. See the picture below:

Good luck
;o)

Thank you!!

Here's my first try :o)

I've used 40 pieces.

Believe me, the hardest part is to glue them all together :oP

I've found another diagram for the "Venus" kusudama, where they advice to sew the parts togerther in groups of ten. Then you tie the four groups.
Much more easier!

This so sucks! I can get all the way up to 3:40 min. and then nothing =( I need these for my daughters 3rd birthday! ::shakes fist:: Can someone help?

sergioserra wrote on Nov 2, '07

Hi Cecilia. I know they're not very easy, and I'm too far to help you with them.
Why don't you try something easier?
See these pom poms (http://origamei.multiply.com/links/item/168)
I'll try to post something else this week
Good luck
See ya

well I was doing a lilly and thought it wasn't to far from it I just can;t seem to get that last fold. One step and it's done. =( just can't see at 4:01 and your diagram didn't help =( sorrry.

Let me try again:

Steps 1 to 8 show the folding of the first "petal"
Do the same with the other groups
Steps 9 to 12 show how to fold the last petal
On picture 13 it's done

Hope you get it

See ya

ola Sergio nao consegui montar no final a peça do paper ball, no video foi muito rapido a montagem da peça e na foto esta pequena.

Caro Fernando,
Infelizmente não tenho mais as fotos que publiquei neste post, senão eu as mandaria para seu e-mail. Tenho certeza que com algumas tentativas a mais você conseguirá fazer as dobras. O macete é segurar 3 extremidades de cada vez (a maior delas no meio), dobrar as partes que já estão vincadas sobre a extremidade maior, e depois virá-la para dentro.
Espero que você tenha sucesso.
