Video: Yin-yang box

The Yin-yang paper box is made of 2 circular pieces. It cannot be called origami since it requires cutting, but I thought it looked really nice and would fit in the paper craft category. The credit goes to the Philip Chapman-Bell who came up with this nice design. I made the crease patter myself instead of printing it out and used thicker paper than normal printing paper. The circle I made had a 10cm radius.

Crease pattern on the Fitful Flog’s website and video after the break.

I once challenged myself to do one of these, and failed miserably, not because it looked like nothing, the steering part was completed, but then the laziness and lack of motivation kicked in. It takes some special paper and no social life to do this, I spent hours on small parts.

I challenge anybody to do this and make it resemble to what the assembled model looks like. It’s a nice promotional campaign from Yamaha, you can either print colored or black and white parts if price is a problem. More models after the break.
