I learned this recently, and it has become an instant favorite. Why? It only requires 12 units (as opposed to 30, 60, or 90…or 100+), and the results are fantastic for the relatively little time spent! Happy folding!
P.S. You can also make a larger model with 24 units or 54 units.
P.P.S. There’s nothing wrong with using some glue to make the units stay together permanently.
This model is ultra special because it was the first one I learned! It's also surprisingly sturdy and can be thrown around. Hang it on a string to create home decor or a Christmas Ornament. The project requires 30 square sheets of paper, and no glue. HAPPY FOLDING! :-)
In this video, I will show you how to turn the traditional origami lily into a ball! It's stunning, and easier than it looks! NOTE: I created 24 units (with 48 sheets of paper), but feel free to make less. I personally like the "over-crowded, dense, organized-chaos look," but some…
Another time consuming, both worthwhile origami project! P.S. You can use 90 units (instead of 30). If using 90 units, every pentagon is surrounded by hexagons. If you follow this rule, it will work out! It'll take a little longer, but the results are great!
