A Kosovo woman, Arbnora Fejza Idrizi is aiming to break a world Guinness World Record for the third time since 2018.

Her attempt involves aiming to recreate the flag of Kosovo, using origami.

In the town of Skenderaj, Arbnora Fejza- Idrizi created the flag of Kosovo, spread over 1,200 square meters. The current world record is held by a school in Mongolia, with a flag of 1,161 square meters.

She needed 127,400 pieces of 22 cm square paper and worked for four hours a day over four months. She was assisted by a handful of students.

Idrizi created the flag to coincide with the Independence Day of Kosovo and she hopes to break the record in order to honor her country.

The inspiring young woman has been creating origami art for more than ten years.

She already broke two Guinness records with her work. In September 2018, Idrizi broke the record with the largest origami flower in the world, measuring 8.70 m in diameter.

While in 2019 she broke another record with the largest origami vase of flowers in the world, which measured 2.21 m x 2.38 m x 2.73 m.
