Icosahedron

A sturdy and easy to fold modular origami, by Carmen Sprung. It’s the same basic model as the arabesque, simpler but harder to assemble. You can make an octahedron with 12 modules or an icosahedron with 30. The diagrams for it can be found on the authors website and the video of the how-to after the break.

    I’m not sure where you’re struggling, there are a lot of little flaps, the best I can do is give you the direct link to the diagrams: http://www.origamiseiten.de/diagrams/kmodul02.pdf

    i didn’t understand how to make the individual pieces. especially not on the diagram.

    @lizzieluvs_u: Well all I can do is suggest you to do some simpler models before you start modulars, keep in mind that folding the modules is the easy part… you should maybe look up some diagram references, here’s something to get you started: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origami_tech_tree

    thanks, but I’ve been doing origami for a while now, I just get confused on certain things.
