Video: Sham

A ball-like modular origami by Mio Tsugawa. It’s made form 30 pieces, I recommend using normal paper since thicker would make it impossible to assemble and thinner wouldn’t hold together. There are many variations of this models based on the length of the module paper, I used a 2:1 ratio, but you can go from square to whatever you want, some variations can be seen on the authors website.

On this model I used 20 yellow modules and 10 green to make a “stripe” on it, the modules I used were 9 by 4.5cm.

Diagrams on the authors website and video after the break.

    beautiful! It’s almost the same method as the arabesque. Going to try it as soon as I’m finished with the Chrysanthemum. Thanks very much!
