origami star

[magnet202]

hi everybody i'm back and i made a huge star out of origami. it is a lot bigger than it looks and took 45 pieces of paper and a little under a week to complete. what do you think?

i personally like origami and know how hard it is, so well donemust have took a while but dont make a thread for one picture, post it in the origami thread if there is one or make an origami thread

[magnet202]

i was kind of hoping this would BE an origami thread.

the hard parts of this actually were the beginning and end because it is modular and they have to be linked together, so as it progresses, it gets easier until it gets to the end where you have very limited space to work with. overall, it was not a very hard project, just monotanous

[Ashman]

ok then if this is going to be an origami thread then id be happy to contribute at some point should have made it more clear in the title though

Little tip for those large spike stars is to use different coloured papers, really livens it up a bit.

Here's another kind of star you can make easily with one sheet of paper, they fly pretty well if you want to throw them.

Should've named the topic "Origami Thread" then.

The star you made looks awesome though. Not really sure why it takes 45 pieces of paper

hehe, I covered mine in gaffa tape, makes them look metallic and they get more weight.

Yes, I know pretty much everyone makes cranes. But mine are tiny.
A tiny crane is like a death sentence.

ok its supposed to be a lizard or dragons head, it would look better with details, or if i hadnt ruined the nose lol

with my crappy acer laptop

Hey maybe we should re-start this topic with a proper name.
Thoughts on that?
If we're going to have an origami topic we might as well CALL it the origami topic.

I guess I can request a lock so we can start a proper thread...

it took 45 pieces of paper because it is bigger than my head
