Tips for construction
I found that rolling each end of the triangle all the way in to the middle of the triangle better prepares the paper to form the delicious "S" curves in the finished model, and most importantly, provides a consistent method for shaping each piece of the module.
Should you wish to use light weight paper, using a wooden skewer works quite well for a nice tight twirl that "remembers" it's shape. As this design has a very moveable "locking mechanism", to keep together a fragile model constructed of light weight paper the modules will need a touch of the famous "Glue Stick" (apply with a toothpick) just where the two colors meet and begin to bend toward the outer edge of the model.
Bamboo sticks?
Wouldn´t it be easier to curl/twirl with a bamboo stick? I used those to curl the petals of the lily because it curled the paper more and we don't really have any chopsticks here..
I mean these:

Yes, those look to be just about perfect.

Paper
can u use post-it notes??
or could i use printer paper?
which one is better??
Thanks for the method.
I've tried to do many modular origami and now are trying to do flowers part. It's easy n looks nice. Maybe the output will be much more nicer if the paper used are 80gm paper. I hope to have more video instructions on origami flowers from your site. Thanks.

Ah ok , because it looks perfect for this project and i would like to buy some
i am chinese and i speak
i am chinese and i speak english better than u
You may be Chinese and you
You may be Chinese and you may speak better English than Sara does. But one thing you clearly lack is respect.
Also, if you're going to be so critical about the way she speaks, then I can be critical about the way you write. There's something called capital letters, and proper English words. I suggest you study up on these things because you clearly have not grasped that concept yet.
accent?
if your german, how do ya speek english so well?
could ya please reply back
English
Practice practice practice. :)
I lived 2 years in the US, and 3 1/2 in England. That gave me lots of opportunity to practice all day long.

The Polish sources ask for 20 zloty (about 6.25 USD). Origami Shop asks for 15 Euro (about 19 USD), and Origami USA asks for 22 USD. Of course, you also have to consider delivery costs.
There may be other sources selling the books, my search was not extensive.

Thanks!
Hi Sara,
Thanks so much for the video. Ever since I visited Krystyna Burczyk's website, I have been on the lookout for any tutorials/books that teach how to make twirls. I will be sure to try it for Mother's Day and put up the results on my blog :)
Thanks again

I used card stock, which are really thick.
Sara, I find this very hard!
Sara, I find this very hard! My modules keep falling apart.. But in the end I still got the final model (which dosent look like yours :( )
Sara can you tell me why my modules keep falling apart??
Paper weight, tightness of twirls, and angle of twirls
My guess is either your twirls aren't tight enough, or the angles of your twirls aren't right. If the twirls are too loose or the angle is too small, the model will fall apart. Also, are you using heavy enough paper? Too thin paper is very hard to twirl tightly enough.
