Christmas ornaments - Paper globes

After folding so many origami models: envelopes, boxes, shoes or birds I was missing the good familiar folds of kusudamas. So, I decided to re-fold one of Tomoko Fuse's models: Rolled Pockets, without actually rolling the pockets. I used a paper with Christmas patterns combined with colored copier paper.

Each kusudama has 60 modules, 30 pieces for the base (rectangles 1:2 made from colored copier paper) and 30 pieces for the 'pockets'. The assembly can be made without glue, but I prefer to use a little bit just to be sure it will not un-fold if dropped from high places (such as the curtain rod).
