Spiky Wreath

This modular wreath is a great project for beginner origamist who are just starting off with modular origami. It is a traditional design and quite simple. I love how eye-catching the end result is! I had placed this at my desk in office and everyone who passed by, had a couple of remarks to make on the star Model Details: Model: Spiky Wreath Origin: Traditional Classification: Origami | Modular | 16 Units Difficulty Level: Simple Paper Ratio: Square Paper Size: 2 inches Modules: 16 Tutorial: Youtube Instructions: Origami [Continued..]

TUVWXYZ Star

The TUVWXYZ star is a complex modular planar model, designed by Meenakshi Mukerji. The model consists of 7 intersecting stars, each star made of 6 arms. All the stars meet at the centre of the model. A total of 42 modules are required for the star, 7 colours and 6 modules in each colour. Folding the modules is quite simple, though time consuming. Assembling the star is a good puzzle! I had trouble in understanding [Continued..]

Week 09 (Day 11): Enneagonal Box

The Enneagonal or Nonagon box is a nine-sided box. This one is pretty easy and is designed by Dennis Walker. The folding rather resembles Tomoko Fuse’s box, I felt. I wasn’t able to find any specific folding for the lid, so I assume the base can be made with a little more height than the lid. I was just too plain lazy to fold the lid as well, so here is just the base  Model [Continued..]

Week 09 (Day 10): Heptagon Starry Pinwheel Box

A heptagon or septagon is a 7-sided polygon and this box contains 7 sides. The design is again, by Tomoko Fuse, from her book ‘Joyful Origami Boxes‘. The folding is somewhat similar to the hexagon box I had folded earlier. The main difference is in the way the angle is decided for a heptagon. Since the box has an odd number of modules, I think it looks better if made from a single solid colour [Continued..]

Week 09 (Day 09): Star Box

This box, designed by Robin Glynn, is a 6-sided star box. It is a good box to work on; I rather liked the way the 2D module is turned into a 3D piece! The modules link well together. The lock for the base is slightly difficult to do, but it ensures that no glue is required. The box should be done using stiff paper. Else it doesn’t hold the shape well. Solid colours, in alternate [Continued..]
