If you have tried out the traditional tato and would like to try more of them, you should give this butterfly tato a go. This is an extension of the traditional tato and is designed by Marcela Brina. I liked using paper with print on one side and a solid colour on the other. Single sided or dual coloured paper also works fine.

A Tato is a Japanese flat container and Tatogami is one of the oldest form of paper folding. Tatos can hold small flat objects like needles and buttons and postage stamps. The one I have done today is the traditional tato. This is quite simple to make and the final tato has alternate colours displayed at the top. The tiny diamond is used to pull the tato open.

Week 05 (Day 05): Pinwheel Cube

The Origami Pinwheel Cube is designed by Tomoko Fuse and is found in her book ‘Multidimentional Transformations Unit Origami‘. The cube is formed from just 6 units, so I feel it is the easiest that I have done in this series It is also, obviously, the one with the least number of units!

Week 05 (Day 04): Cube from Corner Modules

After Meenakshi Mukerji’s Cube variations, I gave some other cubes a try. The one in this is by Kunihiko Kasahara and is formed from 8 corner modules and 6 linking modules. The modules are quite simple to make and are made from half a square. So a total of 7 squares of paper are required to complete the 8 + 6 modules required for the model.Steps are clearly presented in his book Amazing Origami. I [Continued..]
