I knew this star as a one coloured model and always wondered how to get the colour of the backside of the paper in front. Thanks to your tut I know now :o) bye Tine Hi Ancella,

Thanks for your comment and subscription! The 12 module kusudama will definitely be easier than this 30 module design. However, assembly for most modular designs are the same - tricky and requires a lot of patience...and maybe sometimes glue, too! :D You can definitely try the 12 module design as a first step to folding this 30 module design. When assembling, you need to pay attention as to where to insert the next module after you have put together your '4 around base'. To start, you can place your '4 around base' as how you see it in the instructional video you are referring to. Then see where and what angle the 5th module is inserted. You can use glue to hold the modules together. This is a 'sin', I know... but it really helps in assembling those stubborn modules! ;) I hope this helps! Do let me know how yours turned out in the end :) Hi Helen!

I watched another video on this (making the module was a little different) and the slit to join each piece is on the back not on the side. Does this make a difference in ease of joining? This particular video also says you can do it with 12 modules in a four around base. I would prefer to do the 12 and then maybe the 30.Do you know if this can be done and do you have any hints as to the assembly. I have watched your very helpful video 1,2 and the short one on assembly but am still bumbling along. Just susbcribed to your site as it is very interesting Regards Helen Hi Ancella:
