Origami Cube
everyone love Origami, it's a simple way to create art from just a piece of paper.
For me as a child it was a nice way to see 3D shapes during math class.
Supplies
all you need is just a piece of paper and scissors! nothing else.
Create a Square Paper
- Orient the paper into portrait alignment.
- Fold the bottom right corner upward so that the bottom edge is aligned with the left edge, and unfold. Then, repeat for the left corner.
- Fold the top section of the paper down along the horizontal line formed by the tops of the Step 2-3 creases, and unfold.
- Cut along the Step 4 crease. Alternatively, lightly lick along the Step 4 crease and then carefully tear. You will not need the long rectangular strip.
The Water Bomb Base
- Flip the paper over so that the Step 2-3 creases from the previous section are facing down and the paper is somewhat convex.
- Fold the bottom edge to the top edge, and unfold.
- Push the left and right edges toward the center until they meet, forming a tent-like shape. Flatten the tent-like shape along the existing creases.
The Main Stage - the Compressed Cube
- first Fold the right vertex to the top vertex.
- Fold the right vertex of the resulting triangle to the center line.
- Insert the flap near the top vertex into the pocket along the top edge of the triangle formed in Step 3, and fold to secure.
- Repeat Steps 2-4 for the left side.
- Flip the paper over.
- Repeat Steps 2-5 for the now-front face.
- Fold the top triangular section down, and unfold.
- Fold the bottom triangular section up, and unfold.
The Magic Stage - Air Is Everything
- Hold the paper's bottom vertex and spread out the four edges so that they are perpendicular to each other.
- Blow into the hole at the bottom vertex until the cube takes shape.
