Here is the second of the models from John Montoll’s book, ‘A Plethora of Polyhedra in Origami‘, the Cube or to keep with the naming conventions of Polyhedra, the Hexahedron. The cube that is most commonly folded is the traditional waterbomb. The cube that is folded by John Montroll is made without any creases on any of the 6 faces and is again an easy model to make. The book gives the difficulty level as [Continued..]

Not something that should be attempted if you wish to complete your origami quickly. The model is made from 60 rectangles, 30 for making the pyramid units and 30 for the bows that are seen in between those little pyramids. After making these, [Continued..]
