Origami Fireworks, created by Yami Yamauchi, are amazingly pretty origami that burst into colour when you rotate them.. Unfortunately I had made rather insipid colour choices and they didn’t come out as well as I expected them to The individual units are easy to make but putting them together turned out to be, well, not so easy as I had thought they would be.

The assembly is also quite simple and the end result, quite pretty. I used handmade paper that I had and wanted to make a big star in hopes that it will be useful during this Christmas season. Hence used a fairly big 6-inch [Continued..]
