I’m not going to give you step by step details of how I made this since I don’t have rights to the design. However, you can figure out the basic concept from the video.
Making this kimekomi was interesting but difficult. Honestly, I was a little frustrated at one point. Especially when I was trying to divide the ball into 6 equal parts. It was way more difficult than it should have been. The directions told me to use a string and do some math and measuring but in the end I had to figure it out on my own because it wasn’t working. I’ll have to share how I did it in a future video.
As you can see from the video the finer details of the flowers were lost once I started tucking. They ended up distorted and funny looking. Also, my lines were a little off and so the bottom is not centered. I’ll just remove the bottom cap and it won’t be noticeable unless someone looks at it close up. Despite the flaws, I’m glad I made it. It’s always fun to learn new techniques and expand on what I do. I’ll try to incorporate some of the things I learned into my next project.
