I made a total of 16 modules, you can assemble in any way you like from 3 modules to infinity. I’d recommend 4 or 5 units for starters. You can find some examples from Anniefolds website.

Paper to use

You need square papers to make this one, in the video I used 10cm wide paper.

I made the white hexagons from A6 format paper (that is an A4 cut in half twice). The black pentagons were a bit more difficult, 10.5cm in height (half an A4 in length) and 6.8cm in width, this is to make sure the hexagons’ and pentagons’ sides match.

In my model I used a thicker paper for the pentagons, this might be why it’s not very sturdy. Either way don’t try to kick it.

While assembling you’ll have to rotate a module sometimes to make others fit in, there are no extra flaps.

Paper to use

You need 20 white papers of A5 format and 12 black ones, use the diagrams to cut the paper to the exact required dimensions.

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.

Paper to use

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

I made the crease pattern myself instead of printing it out and used thicker paper than normal printing paper. The circle I made had a 10cm radius.

I used a pen and draw on the curved folding lines, it makes the paper weaker in these areas and makes the folding that much easier. I really recommend thick paper for this one, looks better and is sturdier.

Paper to use

Thick paper (160g/m2). You need 2 circular pieces, one black and the other white work the best.

Just when I thought I had finished it I had to open half of the connections which weren’t made right, on the video you can see that the 5th square wasn’t tucked in right.

With this model you have to cut the paper exactly to 5:11 ratio for the modules. I cut 5cm by 11cm rectangles and got 9 out of an A4 paper, you need a total of 24. I used a thicker paper than normal printing paper, that makes the model a bit sturdier than with normal printing paper.

When assembling the modules I don’t recommend completely locking the modules right away one to another, instead push little by little on each one (see the video) so that every connection would fall in place at the same time.

Paper to use

I used a thicker paper than normal (160g/m2), this makes the model sturdier.

This model can also be “wetfolded”: once it’s ready put a rubber band around to hold it contracted and then put it in water and let it soak for a few seconds, once it dries it will retain its contracted form and spring close itself when opened.

The individual pentagons are easy to make, but you must be careful to not fold them in the wrong way, because undoing something can be very frustrating.

What’s nice about this model is the circles and stars it makes with its shadow, you can put a bulb in it and see the motives on the walls. I used 1cm wide paper for the strips.

You’ll probably have to use scissors to cut the ends of the strips to adjust them.

Paper to use

You can use any paper, the longer the strips the better. I recommend normal paper thickness since it’s easier to knot.

Instructions

I found the diagrams on Orihouse, you can either start by making a star like I did, a or circle and then knot them together.

Paper to use

6 square papers, 2 of each color
