You're completely right about this. I was just playing with the one I built from this tutorial when it dawned on me that this could be a stellated shape, so I looked it up and ended up on the page you just posted. Just came here to retract. This video taught me 2 cool lessons, thanks! :)
Hi tehryanx, Thanks for your comment. We're not experts on topology, but here's what wikipedia says about "stellated octahedron"...hmmm, I think we'll just stick to origami :) "The stellated octahedron can be seen as either a polyhedron compound or a stellation: As a compound, it is constructed as the union of two tetrahedra (a tetrahedron and its dual tetrahedron)."
I learned this 5-6 years ago at a camp from someone there. Ever since I have been making them at home or n the classroom. Since I usually use regular paper to fold these I have ripped so much rectangle paper into square paper. BTW if you make a multicolored one of these with 12 sheets of regular A12 paper it looks SICK
Perfect, clear concise directions. I've looked at several videos on how to assemble this, yours finally made sense. I like how you consider how to balance out the colors, as well.
This is cool but I'm pretty sure it's two intersecting tetrahedra, not an octahedron. An octahedron has 8 faces but only 6 vertices. A tetrahedron has 4 vertices and if you intersect two of them it looks similar to this shape. This is like two mirrored intersecting tetrahedra that have been slightly inflated.
Some of the information is missing. There is nothing about how to get the modules in a more rounded shape. The part where the two halves are joined together spoils what is an otherwise good video.
natur200, take a look at our website (link is in the description of the video). You're sure to find something there that is meaningful to the particular 5 yr old. You can place the item in an origami box. Have fun! -Andy
terrapin my kid came home with one so we spent an hour trying to ID it. You are definitely correct. The triangular additions to the faces threw us off. Learn something new.

THANKS I FINALLY MADE IT AFTER 30 MINUTES OF FRUSTERATION!!!!
Nerdy Pop same
The only confusing part was when you put the two halves together but i got it after a few tries. Overall great video.
The best origami modular piece of all time. I don't understand why you'd build 2 6-piece modules though. I find it much easier to add one at a time.
My thing ended up looking like a milk carton!! :(
But still managed to do it!!! Thank you sooo much 4 sharing this video with us!! :)
Thank you very much for the wonderful directions. I've made 3, and now I can make them from memory. A Heartfelt Thanks. Walter
+walter oppenheimer , you're very welcome! When you get the chance, post some pictures of your creations in the comments on our website. Thanks!

Your videos are clear and easy to follow. I enjoyed making this, thanks!
Absolutely the best thing I have ever made you made it so easy thank you for making this video
Lauren, you're very welcome!
You made it so so easy to do

You are the best! Cool, calm and collective...one thing at a time, color, rotation and count. Like yous say...there you have it!
Oh...Thank You!
Connecting the paper steps were a bit tricky but got it after a few mins :) nice way to impress friends and family
Adrian, glad we could help!
Thanks for sharing our channel! And, great avatar!
Hey I am an origami fool! Thanks for making these videos!
uuuuggghghhh the units took so long to make like about 30 minutes but i finished and it turned out great thanks for the vid!!!!!
I had to make this for a project and this video was very helpful. Great instructions. I finished mine in the car!!
Whoa cool! It is like the Stellated Octahedron by Sam Cialla except this time with modular sonobe units!

I was thinking if you can make Kusudamas I'm really looking forward to make those!
How do you find the volume of this thing?
I have a question,when are you going to make a Kusudama? I'm really looking forward to make one of those!
Oh my god... I did it backwards and wasted 12 pieces of paper. I retried it, and after a total of three hours, I got it.
Elias, great perseverance, congrats on finishing it!
i cant get the part where when you put the green paper into the pink paper

YAASS I DID SOO GOOD lol. thank you for this tutorial!
angelfaceako You're welcome! Post some pics of your origami on our website when you get a chance. Thanks!
why dont you post or record how to make the base pattern.
It’s called a sonobe unit.
Great instruction !!!!! Mine came out Perfect !!!
we are doing this in school i messed up but now i got it
It's actually called a Octohedron
Can someone please tell me what is the size of the paper?
Thanks! :)))
Ya sure ...i took 15×15
Any square paper would work!
1:44 is what I dont get, like how the fuck does it go in like that
thanks! those things are hard to make!
Thank you very much:)
Wow, that was fun! Thanks :)
Thank uuuu so much 😀😀
Cool great video although i don't think that the valley folds were nesesary
They were, the pieces wouldn't hold together if they weren't creased like that.
And identified it! this is a triakis octahedron! Exact name. Found it lol.
terrapin my kid came home with one so we spent an hour trying to ID it. You are definitely correct. The triangular additions to the faces threw us off. Learn something new.
Thanks so much:)
origami sonobe
Remembering me of buckyballs ;( ...
After 45 minutes I still couldn't get it. >:.( so thanks....
does anybody know the mathematical name for this shape, i cant find it?
stellated octohedron
Love it!!
This sooooooo easy
Madee eiiit! Thanks! :)
terrapin you're welcome! And hope you enjoyed it.
