Hello Everyone, I would like to apologize to you all, I neglected to take into account some people's learning methods and I did set my exposure too high on accident. To hopefully make up for my errors, I have just released a remake that can be found at kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZK7Y6OVoMSAmJY I hope this is easier to understand and that it clears up many of your questons. Also know that if you are new or have little experience in origami, this will still be a difficult tutorial for you. Please like this comment so others can see it! Thanks have a good day! - How To Origami

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

[@Joshua_DAmico]

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.

[@tfnnyy]

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]

@@tfnnyy 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

[@MultiUltimater]

8:27 Let me just fast forward the most important part of the entire video where one misfold can compromise the entire final shape...

Same but i threw it away because it broke.

[@matrixbossturtle7837]

Chris Gaming Roblox Good for you 🤓

[@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

[@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

[@valeriek6740]

How does ur flexagon line up perfectly when u fold it without drawing lines with a ruler I use a ruler and my flexagon looks like trash

[@HowToOrigamiTutorials]

The important part is that all the angled folds go precisely through the intersection points on the grid of squares. The lines don't matter too much, so long as you take the time to ensure that each crease is done precisely and accurately. I hope this helps!

[@taralicious71762]

I did everything correctly. I folded the exact creases, drew the exact lines, Beat the diamond part first try, and made a flexagon! BUT.... before the last step I started doing it by myself, without the insructions, and I already found the shape of the flexagon, and it only moved back and forth. It didn't budge so I forced it to turn. It turned, but crumpling the whole thing.. I finally watched the last step and they said to roll the flexagon slowly trying not to crumple it... welp… rip flexa-fail 2018-2018 ;-;

[@taralicious71762]

I mean... it works but I have to fold the flaps back in every 2 seconds and it looks like im massaging a crumpled ball of paper -_-
