    I made this ball with 12 stuffed pieces. It is called something like "spinning top" in Japanese.
    I heard this is not very new to you in USA, and want to know the name of it there.

    I've always heard them called "Puzzle balls".

    Great job. I always wanted to try to make that but it looks really complicated.
