4 cubes made from 3 strips by Heinz Strobl. This is a lot harder than it looks, I wanted to make an icosahedron out of strips, but quickly realized that it was too difficult to assemble, so I went for the 4 cubes. You have to make the strips hold still while you’re tucking them, but once assembled it’s very sturdy. The instructions from Orihouse aren’t very clear on what to do, so I tried the over/under method and it turned out great, perhaps I’ll make some more complex later. Strip origami is way harder on the assembly than modular origami, but requires almost no creasing.
For this one you only need 3 strips of 14 squares, I used a school notes paper and made the squares 2 by 2cm. Since it’s almost impossible to follow the assembly on video I didn’t make one. If you wish to make it you just have to try the over/under method and persevere (about 20 minutes for me). One more picture after the break.

wohoa! Strip origami looks more advanced then regular origami….. but I’ll try, get back to you when I’m finished, or out of patience hehe;)
out of patience. lol
i made the thing-it looks sweet
It’s easier to make it out of sonobe units like the one I made and posted on my website. And if u use two colors to make a half-half pattern, it really shows itself off.
