This was definitely the best video i found for this model! Very good idea to label the first triangle as a point of reference, makes everything a little more clear and less confusing as to where each triangle fits in. Thank you for this tutorial

[@LavenderHome]

Thank you!

[@crafter5669]

I barely made one, it took around 4 hrs to make. Thanks for the tutorial :)

[@lanap776]

This was very very helpful. Took about 3 hours and a few wrong moves that were corrected after watch-stop-watch. Thank you!

[@ronental6424]

I have done a few of these in the past, the best tips I can give you: 1. try to make it with the same colors and order as he does it will make your life a lot easier 2. don't try to make it small size. the bigger the easier, I have done 9x3 cm and it was hell The corner marking with the paper is genius..

[@paperart0]

i saw this warning, thought "nah i'd win," and proceeded to make it with 3in by 1.5in papers. it was so frustrating trying to get the teeny tiny pockets and tabs to fit in at the very end without them popping open. anyways, i should've heeded your warning, stranger

[@anna-fleurfarnsworth104]

I showed my mom this and she started to cry talking about how talented I am lol. thank you so much for making this lovely tutorial!

[@JG-wg6fz]

It took almost 3 hrs to finish. Thank you for explaining simply and accurately. 👍👍

[@muzvid]

A long time ago, I saw this on the cover of a book by Rick Beech, "Origami! 80 amazing paperfolding projects." I managed to complete 1 tetrahedron, but went no further. Your video may just be the inspiration I needed to finish!!

[@stevegoodson9022]

Go for it, the assembly is tricky and hurts your brain but the end result is beautiful - just keep it away from cats and children

This helped alot for me! I didn't quite get what the teacher did, luckily this video is here! Thank you for posting this video!!! 😁😁😁

Exceptionally clear tutorial very well done

[@kartikgrover4053]

it took me 5 hours thanks a lot for the tutorial

[@kianr2200]

No matter how many times I make this, I always have to come back to this video for the assembly part😂thanks for this upload

[@AnilSharma-b6h]

So long ago, I made 4 before. Just needed to remember first stage an last intersection. Thank you 💕

[@wrasbur1]

I agree with others who feel this is the best tutorial out there for this model. Does anyone know the weight of the paper he uses? It appears to be "stiffer" than most origami paper, which would be helpful in constructing this model, which I also agree with others is quite difficult.

[@LavenderHome]

Thank you! We used 70 gsm paper 🙂

[@wrasbur1]

@@LavenderHome Thank you so much for the reply and information

[@itismethatguy]

@@LavenderHome Thank you, I spent a lot of time and this was the only tutorial that showed me well how to put the model together

[@dash2318]

i finished in 4 hours straight!! thanks a lot for tutorial!!!!

[@PiTcHonAtCho]

I'm very interested in your origami and it's attractive work 😃

[@ProGamer-bh1jz]

The best the clearest ones

[@ooberbear8138]

Does anyone know the paper's lenght/width ratio? Or does it not matter?

[@LavenderHome]

The paper ratio is 3:1. We used 15cm x5cm in this tutorial.

[@lazyhummingbird]

Do you think it's easier to use big papers or small ones?

[@avyamjain4910]

It took me 10 mins to make it🎉🎉

[@fizzyd7586]

I found that you can pinch the creases near the connection points to make the pieces stay together much better.

[@issie6374]

How many of each colour do I need?

[@issie6374]

It’s 6. For anyone who wanted to know. Also I don’t recommend using thin/ flimsy paper as it is extremely hard

[@Casocki]

@@issie6374 lol. I used 3 colors of firm paper and 2 of flimsy paper. Definitely not the prettiest thing ._.

[@mariatoni5355]

Awesome Work!😍

[@lazyhummingbird]

This is beautiful, just one question, are the locks strong enough if made properly?

[@origamimadness6313]

I’m pretty sure it is if you just have thin sheets of paper and intertwine the pieces together

[@hmmmmm8716]

Joining the pieces is hard and I'm only on the the first tetrahedra so I know that this is gonna take m some time

[@ゾカリクゾ]

It took me like 40min each tetrahedra in average

[@kyragd2009]

Great tutorial

[@hollandjo1947]

Took about 2 hours cutting paper and 3 hours assembling but ya know it was worth it 🤔

[@lucaanello-fiorina7251]

Does anyone have any tips on getting the tips of the units to actually stay in place? Mine kept falling apart while trying to make a tetrahedra. I used 70 gsm and copy paper

[@LavenderHome]

put glue on the first tetrahedra. the rest should be falling apart easily while assembling. Check the corner(connecting part) if fully insert. When a tip formed with 3 pieces connected properly, the structure is stable even without glue.

[@cienciandre]

I was doing it with A4 paper to test, and since it's almost 20cm x 30 cm I thought I could just cut It in 8 pieces of almost 5cm x 15cm and it would do the trick. It didn't. Measure your pieces correctly guys :/

[@kilmameri8844]

I did it exactly like you had, one A4 into eight pieces. I'm currently three tetrahedra in and guys... it's going but I sense the people before me and their warnings. I am still on this path, but if I can achieve success is still a gamble

[@zohnannor]

I did that first time with 9x9 pieces which I cut in 3 (3:9 = 1:3 ratio), and then for the second one I used A5 (that has 210x148 mm size) which I cut into 7x21 pieces. Both were pretty easy to do.

[@natureinmyname7228]

What should b the length and width of the paper

[@LavenderHome]

5x15cm is used in this tutorial

[@CincCent]

Hi! Best video for this complicated origami! May I link your video in my little blog? Grazie

[@LavenderHome]

Of course! 🙂

[@ashrafpnm5898]

I used chart and made 4....but my chart was very thin like A4 thin... So i was not able to complete it..... I did it using glue.... Cause i couldnt get it fixed...and in used the same colour which it made extra confusion and me crazyyyyyy...... Can anybody pls tell me how thich chart should i usee...

Thank you, but I tried this with traditional origami paper, and after the 6 most infuriating hours of my life, it fell apart. I'm never doing this again

[@LavenderHome]

oh no. Try the copy paper or strong wrapping paper. standard origami paper is too thin for this model.
