Origami Cube Skeleton (Shuzo Fujimoto)

Cube with concave sides (or cube skeleton)

Designed by Shuzo Fujimoto

From the books Twist Origami 2 and Twist Origami 3

He used tape to lock in the original instructions, but I did it without it

Origami Skeleton (4) by Shuzo Fujimoto

I'm (finally) working on a new tutorial! Skeleton (4). It's from the book Twist Origami 2 and the original instructions are also included in this post

Origami Decahedron | D10 Dice

Single sheet Pentagonal trapezohedron (or D10 dice!)

Designed by myself today. Same trick used to lock the icosahedron.

The reference points to make the lines aren't difficult, but to make it seamless it's easier to print the pattern

(numbers are wrongly positioned, I'll fix it later!)

New tutorial - single sheet origami icosahedron

You can also make a 20 sided dice (printable pattern available on my website) or attach a string and use it as Christmas ornament!

Single sheet Icosahedron

Folded from half of a square. Based on Shuzo Fujimoto's icosahedron, but I've found a way to keep it locked without tape/glue. He didn't mind using tape and this is the third time I'm "fixing" one of his models. I think this time I'll credit myself as co-author, it's a very simple change but very relevant

Single sheet Octahemioctahedron (Shuzo Fujimoto)

From the book "Solid Origami". 2:1 ratio rectangle, simple to pre-crease (triangular grid). Collapsing is a bit confusing, I still need to find a good method

Origami alphabet - lower case

Work in progress - lowercase alphabet remake

This is taking forever to make... I'm currently at m/n/u

Lowercase characters have more steps than the uppercase ones, and also many of them requires fixes or improvements on the folding sequence

Single sheet Tetrahedron (Shuzo Fujimoto)

From the book Solid Origami

Single sheet origami Skeletal Octahedron

Skeletal Octahedron (Shuzo Fujimoto)

This is skeletal octahedron from a single sheet of paper designed by Shuzo Fujimoto. Start with half of a square, the instructions are only these 2 steps. It says to lock it with tape, but I managed to lock it without using it. I'll make a video soon

New video - Origami Alphabet (uppercase)

Remaking the origami alphabet

I'm almost finishing the uppercase letters, it's gonna be a single long video with all of them instead of multiple videos.

There are some changes compared to the old videos:

- now I'm using paper with a white side instead of both colored sides

- improvements on sequences and on some of the letters

New video - Origami Numbers

It was a lot more work than I expected. I thought I could reuse the old diagrams, but I had to remake them all from scratch. So the alphabet is going to take a while to be remade

It will be published when I finish the shorts/reels version of this video

Toilet paper Fly (Jo Nakashima and Adriano Mariani)

In 2023 I published a tutorial on a simple and elegant origami fly designed by Adriano Mariani (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PS4GyqD57ig ). This is a toilet paper version of that model

5 pointed star (Shuzo Fujimoto)

From the book "Solid Origami"

Works better with paper colored on both sides. The model is pretty simple to fold, but if you can't read any japanese it may be a bit difficult to understand (I'll make a video later). 

The original model has cut at the end to make it properly locked, but I managed to make a smal...
