[@thesinglefriend481]

[@skullses751]

Same my brain was literally hurting

[@Aster_sunset]

[@bear_and_panda_playz3411]

IKR I think everybody is!

[@pineappleparty3864]

Instructions unclear, my paper is in the oven and I am taped to the ceiling.

[@qaddis85]

True

[@lim1tIess]

Lol

[@maddyo7706]

I hate when that happens

[@l3a1anguyen66]

same.

[@pingu6655]

True dat.

[@txlerspears]

Me laughing maniacally: ha ha ha heh heh My dad: is he okay? My mom: oh yes he’s just trying to do an impossible flexagon where one wrong fold messes the whole thing up My dad: ohhh riiiiight

[@Ledster]

THE TACTIC IS TO STRENGTHEN EVERY SINGLE FOLD TO MAKE IT PERFECT, like mine! ha ha ha heh heh

[@odnaxx]

What’s a dad?

[@spirograph621]

Love that comment 🤣

[@mingo8161]

now thats funny

[@maxcarter3453]

SO TRUE

[@aryantajne]

The minute I finished this the teacher threw it in the bin

[@felicityhill6736]

Mr. Awesome I would have literally screamed...

[@shar_k_3719]

Dr. experiment that’s sad :p

[@serbianspaceforce6873]

Dr. experiment damn dude

[@xxnightfurriexx1870]

Rip

[@ewe8929]

That is very sad

[@btsyoonmin1435]

I hated it at the diamond part! Anyone agree? I even got so frustrated that I break down

[@Aric-ls7bf]

When you draw the lines, put the paper on a soft surface and use a pencil or pen to press down hard and make an indentation. That'll make it infinitely easier to fold.

[@fruitypeebils]

jeez man how do you have a meltdown from origami

[@MrBwxian]

i raged so hard on step 9 i disliked it

[@jessebrandon7530]

me to

[@riolo8978]

That’s bad and easy

[@idontknowhowtoread1231]

What I did after I finished... 1) made one ofc 2) tricked my friend into thinking it was a puzzle and That It had a secret prize inside.. 3) watched her suffer >:)

[@spirograph621]

Hahahaha

[@tristabrooke]

Instructions unclear, I broke my scissors

[@MsMajm]

did anyone else at the end get confused and crumple the paper up and throw it across the room

[@harvingaming3203]

MsMajm I made it but it looked so bad so I crumpled it up and threw it in the garbage

[@yijunzhu9823]

yes i did

[@Aly_xo7]

MsMajm yep

[@imstillzombii]

yep

[@itspunkyyt5792]

I did

[@Meiko243]

After many failed attempts, I finally made it and it turned out surprisingly well!! Btw I found it easier to use a ruler to fold along on the diamond step. Hope this helps 😁

[@kittycamiori]

I made one and brought it to school. All of my friends were absolutely mesmerized by it.

[@tiramasoup]

If I did that..... *they would kill it* _I mean rip it or ruin it or whatever_ Jk I don't have friends...... *ToT* Edit: so ur lucky u have friendsss...

[@laprietayelguero]

@@tiramasoup dont worry yo much about friends at this stage in your life . I'm saying this because I was with you because I had many many friends in school I was almost that popular but now nobody talks to me and I don't talk to them it's just me and my husband and child and that's all I need really

[@Anonymous-1234]

Me:try’s to follow the instructions...............1 hour later realizes I have a big pile of paper next to me my brain could I have possibly tried to make the moving flexagon that many times

[@davidroche7949]

[@MultiUltimater]

[@sjhsuh]

[@angie3792]

[@julialudvig8183]

[@toni7575]

[@sofiagekko7762]

Me: so far so good. my brain cells: we're losing it!! Me: I won'ts give up!! my brain cells: give up already Me: at the last part... my brain cells: we done Me: I GIVES UPP!!!!!

[@vintagemelody8323]

I thought you said you go fast, I had to fast forward the whole video!!!

[@51LVERFANG]

The explanation is great it's just that you must try it few times until you will get it right and accurate. Thanks for the video 👍👍👏👏

[@cxffeebeansss9841]

"easy and fun" he said,when its AnD i oOp

[@motoShenanigans]

[@xaara8055]

For those of you saying the instructions are unclear, origami is certainly not your thing!! Btw great tutorial 👍 👍 👍

[@skrapers_]

me: i hope this is an easy craft my brain: oh this is really easy me: this is actually kinda fun him: OK so we need to start drawing these lines my brain:its fine i don't have to do it him: now we need to fold and line it up to the lines me: i give up lets read the comments and this is also the first time i did one of these so yes ik its bad lol

[@shareedefriese4549]

David Wu me

[@catg9336]

I had so much confidence before I started that slowly started to go away when I began folding I even cried it got very complicated at least for me who else felt this way

[@catg9336]

This was just so hard to follow along like how did he separate the paper so neatly

[@treydurham1891]

I felt the exact same way and just gave up at 8:33.

[@kingdice7933]

Me

[@maelinjordan2201]

I got so frustrated after beginning to actually play with it. I don"t understand how he can get it so perfect! i feel the same as you do Sister and Brother!

[@hotfire7075]

Thank you! This tutorial was really helpful and I made it [sort of] successfully, I will try more times and make it better! 👍

[@bindycampbell5136]

Nuh uh bro

[@exactpause9218]

Very fun to make, never made origami and i have made a few mistakes but it still works! Thanks for the great video!

[@kizeu9328]

For y'all saying the crumpling part was difficult(for the diamond)- there's a way 'around' it 1. Draw the diamond lines with a pencil(NOT FREEHAND SJDHKEJ) 2. Get a ruler 3. Put the ruler on the line 4. Lift up the paper and trace the ruler outline(from the other side)(paper has top side n side on the desk so the side facing down) with the sharp tip(don't actually draw, just trace the outline- b/c you can feel it, yes? So you can crease it from the pressure) that way ya folds are nice and precise and are already there so you don't have to 'refold' or crumple anything or whatever Hopefully it helps! I made the thing on my first go so it works lmao

[@spydersystem5187]

Mqrker is better

[@gaiusthompsonking9630]

Instructions unclear, cat is now transformed into a mountain

[@stevenwilson1169]

That don't make sense to me..

[@chels9399]

Thank you so much! It took forever, but after three tries I did it!!

[@agnedrulyte6170]

[@samsungboy123]

[@sporting0o163]

[@pradip235]

[@chared_assassinyt4770]

got right to the end and im just like "yay dis suffering is finally over" and of course the dog chooses this moment to jump up and knock my flexagon under the chair

[@lulakate1053]

It worked great present for my dad, and I’m not even good at origami. This is my first time making origami

[@ally_chat]

[@susie6311]

This is so awesome! I tried it, but the first time folding it is like really hard. The paper kept getting stuck and crumbling. Now that it's worked in, it still does, but very much less. Though, the paper is already breaking... I guess that's my fault for using the cheapest paper ever XD

[@susie6311]

It works!

[@troylin6063]

His: *Looks perfect* Mine: *Looks like someone crumpled my Christmas present😂*

[@e83e]

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Nope, that's just my sanity flying away.

P.S. ITS REALLY FUN AND ADDICTING ALSO SATISFYING AFTER YOU DO IT SO I WOULD RECOMMEND YOU GOING THROUGH THE VIDEO A FEW TIMES WHILST DOING IT AND ALSO TO TAKE YOUR TIME

[@kapunchino8147]

Yeah, that part when you draw those diamond shapes I got stuck on😩now I have to start all over!!!!!!!!
