I spent the holiday weekend becoming fluent in the basics of modular origami. With practice, you can churn out the below models surprisingly quickly. Icosahedron, Octahedron & Cube. My first attempt at the octahedron can be seen here, which I found was actually a bit tougher t ...more
This video tutorial show how to make a scaled octahedron. Modular origami varies from regular origami in that it uses multiple sheets of paper to fold instead of just one. Learn how to fold this scaled modular origami octahedron by watching this instructional video.
Modular origami is a technique that can be used to build some pretty interesting and impressive models of mathematical objects. In modular origami, you combine multiple units folded from single pieces of paper into more complicated forms. The Sonobe unit is a simple example un ...more
These adorable origami stellated octahedrons commonly provoke fits of jealousy within real stars, who envy their smooth folds and pretty peaks. Learn how to fold a stellated octahedron with this easy tutorial. Then, when you've perfected your origami star-folding skills, crea ...more
