The cold season has hit the Kim Household, but I have another Glue Dots® project!

We’ve been hit with bad colds and just when we thought we were over it, we’re into Round Two!  My youngest is home again with another cold and I’m still as congested as ever!  But you know what they say…the show must go on!
Glue Dots® challenged us to create holiday gifts and I went back to my trusty Kusudama Ball, but I decided to make it even more personal and for my family.  I put together this Family Heirloom Kusudama ornament using photos of the all the children in the Kim and Abujen families as the center of the flowers:

I printed each picture on cardstock and punched them out using a 3/4” circle punch and attached them with Glue Dots® Pop-ups.

Each petal was attached with Glue Dots® Glue Lines.  Each five petal flower was then attached together with more Glue Lines.

Rubber stamp "Rejoice!" sentiment on oval and heat emboss with black powder.

You can find complete downloadable folding and assembly instructions HERE.

I hope you will give this project a try as it makes for a very unique holiday decoration for your home and a wonderful keepsake for your family to hand down from generation to generation.
