Kusudama paper flower

When we looked out our window on a grey and rainy January day, we saw a sad tree without leaves. We decided to make flowers for the tree, to cheer him up and to lift our spirits as well (see the PaperFlowerTree post, a few days earlier).
But the only material we had were old magazines, a pair of scissors and glue.
So this is the result of our first attempt of a Kusudama paper flower. Isn’t it amazing what you can do with old magazines?
