			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A fairly easy modular by Dennis Walker. Enneagonal since it has 9 angles, but it&#8217;s actually a nonagon which stands for 9 sides.</p>
<p>It holds together all right since all the modules are solidly interlocked.</p>
<p><strong>Paper to use</strong></p>
<p>I used thicker paper to make it, but I think normal paper would be better. You need 9 square papers to do it, 3 of each color.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[This Froebel star by Froebel Friedrich is made from 4 strips of paper.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This Froebel star by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_Wilhelm_August_Froebel">Froebel Friedrich</a> (1782-1852) is made from 4 strips of paper &#8211; it is also known as German star, Swedish star, Polish star, Danish star, Pennsylvanian star, advent star, Moravian Star and probably by some other names too.</p>
<p>While tucking the strips it&#8217;s helps to cut the ends so that they would fit more easily.</p>
<p>On the website where I discovered it there are some interesting ideas like how to <a href="http://highhopes.com/maybasket.html">make a basket out of these</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Paper to use</strong></p>
<p>I used an A4 format paper and made the strips 1cm wide.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A shuriken like modular star by Robert Neale. It&#8217;s also called octagon star or &#8220;Pinwheel-Ring-Pinwheel&#8221;. It&#8217;s easy to make and once all the modules are assembled they slide in place.</p>
<p>It can be either a ring or a pointy throwing star (that&#8217;s why the &#8220;Pinwheel-Ring-Pinwheel&#8221; name), but it doesn&#8217;t change shape on the fly.</p>
<p><strong>Paper to use</strong></p>
<p>Made with 8 square papers, I used  10cm square papers, but for its function it might be better to use smaller squares.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An action model made from 8 Tung Ken Lam&#8217;s jitterbug modules. It&#8217;s easy and takes no time to make, you can also make 20 modules for a icosidodecahedron.</p>
<p>It can be collapsed in a diamond, but doesn&#8217;t look very nice due to the angles of the joints that prevent full collapsing.</p>
<p><strong>Paper to use</strong></p>
<p>I used 10cm square paper for the modules. Make 8 modules for the cuboctahedron or 20 for the icosidodecahedron.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A modular origami which lets you make a cube, an octahedron, an icosahedron and so on, by Stephan T. Lavavej.</p>
<p>The module used is a variant of the sonobe module, it&#8217;s really easy to make, but the icosahedron is a bit tricky to assemble. I used 10cm square paper and it&#8217;s quite sturdy.</p>
<p><strong>Paper to use</strong></p>
<p>You need 6 modules for a cube, 12 for the octahedron and 30 for the icosahedron. I used 10cm wide square papers to make the modules.</p>
<p><strong>Diagrams</strong></p>

		<description><![CDATA[Hexaflexagon action model, by Paul Jackson]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An action model, made by Paul Jackson. It has to be cut out because it&#8217;s made from triangles.</p>
<p>I used an A4 format paper, divided it in 7 strips of 4cm and made the base of the triangles also 4cm, equilateral triangles might work better.</p>
<p>I had to glue it together, since it&#8217;s moving it makes it come apart.</p>
<p>Since it&#8217;s cut and glued it goes under paper craft category.</p>
<p><strong>Paper to use</strong></p>
<p>Thick paper might work better than normal, but you&#8217;ll have to cut out the pattern yourself.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A very good modular for beginners, the modules only need 8 creases and the assembly is really straight forward. Made by <a href="http://www.orihouse.com">Paula Versnick</a>.</p>
<p>You can do as many modules as you want and assemble them in various ways, the video shows how to fold a module, how to connect it to another one and some examples.</p>
<p>The modules can also be &#8220;sinked&#8221;, it&#8217;s a really good model for practicing that technique.</p>
<p><strong>Paper to use</strong></p>
<p>6 or 12 square papers, depending on what you want to make. I used 10cm square paper.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A very easy and very sturdy icosahedron by <a href="http://www.mastersoforigami.com">Heinz Strobl</a>. It requires 20 strips of 6 squares for the triangles and 30 strips of 6 squares to knot them together (strips of 5 squares also work).</p>
<p>Only the knotting strips will remain visible. So choose your colors accordingly. You can make a bigger model when assembling 6 triangles instead of 5 and connecting them to a 5 triangle module (looks like a football pattern).</p>
<p><strong>Paper to use</strong></p>
<p>20 strips of 6 squares for the triangles and 30 strips of 6 squares to knot them together (5 squares also work for the knotting).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since a lot of people were asking for a slower video of the omega star here it is. Unfortunately I still had to speed it up a little, but I did it on the easier bits.</p>
<p>The very last part had to be left out because I got to the 10 minute limit, but it&#8217;s just the same step over and over again.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.origaminut.com/52/3d-star-omega-star">other video</a> was too fast, so I hope you can understand this one. But I will never repeat myself enough: look at the diagrams, I made it looking at the diagrams, this video should help you fold it if you have trouble with the diagrams.</p>
<p><strong>Paper to use</strong></p>
<p>You need one square paper, the smaller the harder to fold. I used 20cm wide paper for this one.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Once you run out of a strip you're using you can easily add another one by tucking it somewhere.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For this strip origami I used the <a href="http://home.tiscali.nl/gerard.paula/origami/knotologiesphere94.html">Sphere94</a> folding method to make the pentagons.</p>
<p>It wasn&#8217;t assembled in any special way, I just kept making pentagons and knotting them together. It&#8217;s actually easy to make since every pentagon holds itself together on its own, so knotting the pentagons together isn&#8217;t a problem.</p>
<p>Again I used some of my old school notes paper, it helps cutting exact strips with 5mm grid lines. Once you run out of a strip you can easily add another one by tucking it somewhere.</p>
<p>It took me a while and about 20 strips of an A4 paper. This model was made with 2cm wide paper.</p>
<p><strong>Paper to use</strong></p>
<p>Any, you need long strips of paper, no matter what length, but I&#8217;d recommend normal printing paper rather than some thicker since it makes the tucking easier.</p>
<p><strong>Instructions</strong></p>
<p>Found on <a href="http://home.tiscali.nl/gerard.paula/origami/knotologiesphere94.html">Orihouse website</a>.</p>
