MODULAIR ORIGAMI BALL
This is how to make a modular ball shape out of six
flower shaped Origami units.
All six units are the same and folded together into a larger ball
shape.
Step 1:
The
backside of this paper is completely white. Turn the paper.



Step 6:
Pull
the end at the bottom of the arrow upwards by making a valley-fold
over the green line.
Step 5:
Unfold
the folds of step 4
Step 2:
Prefold
over these 4 lines.
Step 4:
Make
a valley-fold over these 2 lines. Make these folds over the 2 upper
layers of paper.

Step 3:
First,
make a valley-fold over the 2 lines at the bottom-right. Then, make
a mountain-fold over the 2 lines in the middle. And make a
valley-fold over the 2 lines at the top left.

Step 10:
The
arrow shows the flap of step 9, press it flat. Make sure that the 2
green lines get in an angle of 90 degrees


Step 8:
Repeat
step 4 to 7 on the backside of the model.
Step 9:
Pull
the flap at the bottom of the arrow upwards, in the direction
of this arrow.
Step 7:
Press
the edges downwards from above, see arrows. You don't have to make
new folding lines to do this.

Step 16:
Make
6 of these pieces for one complete modular ball.
Step 15:
Turn
the model.
Step 12:
Push
the place indicated by the arrow flat from above. Make sure that the
2 green lines get in an angle of 90 degrees
Step 11:
Insert
a finger in the opening of the flap at the bottom of the large
arrow, so this flap becomes flat to. Then pull this flap to the
left, in the direction of the large arrow. Pull/push the corner at
the small arrow in the middle a bit upwards, to the place indicated
by the upper arrow.
Step 14:
Press
the flap flat from above. Make sure this flap gets in an angle of 90
degrees too.



Step 13:
Pull
this flap upwards too


Step 21:
And
make one more valley-fold over this line.
Step 19:
Repeat
step 18 over this line
Step 20:
Repeat
step 18 over this line.
Step 18:
Connect
the 2 flaps by making a valley-fold over the short green line at the
left of the arrow. Make this fold over both flaps in once.
Step 17:
Press
the 2 flaps indicated by the arrows against each other.



Step 22:
Pull
the 2 flaps indicated by the arrows outwards
Step 25:
Repeat
step 18 to 21 on these 4 sets of flaps.
Step 26:
Turn
the model
Step 24:
Repeat
step 18 to 21 with the flaps at the 2 large arrows and also with the
flaps at the 2 small arrows.
Step 23:
Repeat
step 18 to 21 with these 2 flaps

Step 27:
Repeat
step 25 with this final piece
Done! This is a DIY video
for making the modular ball shape:
