Hi Aki-kun
There are two types of tomoko fuse sea urchin if (which i presume you are) your using her book kusudama origami, are you making the short pistil variation? or the long pistil variation?
Short pistils
Gather a ring of 8 segments and thread a needle through the bottom of each point to create a nice ring repeat twice more until you have three rings then create an x-shape with two pieces of string (crossing over each other and tied) place the three rings in the middle of the x-shaped string and then pull all four ends of the string through the model and tie off at the top creating a loop to hang from.
Long pistils
Same as above except with four rings of ten
Alternative method with glue
Another way to attach them to each other is to glue them to do this there is a video below to help unfortunately it's only the last couple of minutes your interested in.

^Im using the Short Pistil one. I would perfer using the Thread and string but even thought you are trying to help me im still having difficulty understanding how to put it together. I rather have a visual to look at so it makes it easier for me. My dad tried to put it together with the string but its really loose.
