origami - modular - scaled octahedron - tutorial - dutchpapergirl

A beatiful octahedron, made with 18 square pieces of paper (and 12 connecting struts) Try it; it is not so difficult!!!

[@ParagonOblivion]

I've got to say, this Octohedron is probably the only one I've seen so far that actually tickles my fancy, so to speak...
I love this style of the figure quite more than those... truncated, scaled octohedrons I've seen, doesn't quite feel the same...
Kudos~

Lovely! Having the birds sing while you silently folded was perfect...Well done!

[@dutchpapergirl]

I hope you'll have fun!!!

[@kirbymaster10]

[@Joshman12314]

i spent liek 3 days looking for how to make it

[@elpequejp]

[@JRO44]

Getting that last flap in is probably the hardest part!

[@HollandScarth]

so are the rectangle connecters 1/4 of the 15x15 sheets of paper? and love the video

[@heheohno]

beautiful video

[@dutchpapergirl]

yes they are.

[@MRxMADxMONKEY]

I'm going to start making one tomorrow morning. =) That's so cool, thank you for uploading this! Love your videos. ^^

[@JRO44]

Hm... My paper is only 10cm. I'm going to try 3, 6, and 9 cm squares with connectors of 9x2.25.
The connectors are a ratio of 4x1 in case other people wanted to know how to do different sizes, and the length must be the length of the biggest square.
