Origami Herringbone Tessellation | Tutorial

In this video I show you how to make an origami herringbone tessellation. This model is relatively simple, but some of the folds can be quite challenging, especially if you're new to this type of origami.

Thank you for your tutorial for transforming an ordinary piece of paper into something magical. And unlike conventional magic tricks, mastering this procedure doesn't diminish the otherworldly beauty of the results.

[@gretchenmangione128]

I don’t know how he expects us to be able to perfectly reverse the folds without messing up the whole thing

[@DrawMakeCode]

Thanks, James! I demonstrate this fold using a different technique then I use the sheet to make some really cool artwork. I wanted to offer my viewers an example of folding it that is easier, so I linked to your video. I wanted to let you know and thank you for your demonstration. It helps out my viewers a ton!

[@jamesrandolph9366]

Mr Ed Draws No problem, I'm glad I could help. I just watched your interpretation and can't say I've ever seen anyone do that before. It looks great, especially with the different lighting angles.

[@kingkiara8851]

I really enjoyed making this, you did a good job making with this video.

[@MimiYuYu]

my mom has a shirt like this. I called it the pineapple shirt because with all of the creases it looked like a pineapple. The shirt itself was very tiny- like a pug could wear it. But because of all of the folds- it could fit any body type. Maybe in the future - all clothing would be made this way- no more figuring out what size you are. It will also reduce costs (less waste) and less stress of shopping.

[@dvorak2676]

with those, skinny people will be called pineapples, while fat people will just be apples

[@MimiYuYu]

Ok so I never looked it up until now. The first link I clicked on - that looked like my mom’s pineapple shirt- sold shirts called ‘Magic Bubble Shirts’ or ‘Popcorn Shirts’. www.magicbubbleshirts.com/

[@MimiYuYu]

Dvo rak that website claims that it will fit up to size 20. The creases in the shirt are pretty steep so it may still look like a pineapple

[@_365x]

If u don't get this, (Which I didn;t at first,) you can try cutting 2 rows off and practicing with those. It helped a lot

[@Stephen7475]

Suggestion: if you make 2 of those 45 degree creases each time, you can make 2 folds each time instead of one, skipping the step of reversing the long creases. Try it. It is 3 times faster and easier. But do fold the long creases both ways at the begining. I like to finish making all the 45 degree creases before making 2 folds each time.

[@jamesrandolph9366]

Thanks for the tip. I've never done it that way but I can definitely see it being faster. I'll have to try it next time

[@kristinamullen4066]

Huh???My brain hurts just imagining myself trying origami!!!

[@aaronhughes827]

Nice tip, but I tried it his 2 ways and then your way. I would recommend doing what he did: starting with the first way, because it's easier to do, then once you get the hang of that then do the 2nd way, which is faster, but a little harder to understand. Your way, though, was the fastest, but, it seemed to make it sloppier, like, a lot.

[@SharminAkterSonia]

Second fold was hard for me to do, but after that the whole thing was done in a jiffy! 🥰

Hi, I just saw your video and was very pleased to see it. It is going to help me a lot in my project where I wanted to create something like the origami solar panel design by NASA, but failed several times. But thanks to you for such a detailed video. I am not that into origami, but you instructions played well. Thanks a lot😇😇😇

[@rileybartling1113]

[@timames2238]

You can get different results by varying the angle and the spacing of the folds.

[@dianacristinamejia5803]

Mucha paciencia queda hermoso!! Gracias por compartir tu conocimiento!

[@Elias_Halloran]

I think this origami fold could more accurately be called a variation of the Miura-Ori Map Fold.

[@EricVigier-madfolder]

it can't in the way the angle is not the same : angle different : different model , the miura have a specific angle.

[@nasreenpardiwala3179]

So beautiful, could you show more techniques, some which are used in high fashion concepts like Plisse.

[@UmsterYT]

Oh my god, I'm so glad I found this tutorial. Wish I found it sooner tho, lol. Like, seven months ago, I saw this tesselact origami thing on Pinterest, which is like in Russian, and I have no idea what it said and there's no instructions how to do it. And me a dum dum, didn't search it up on KZbin, and tried and failed and hours upon oodles of hours of creasing (without the steps this video was showing) I finally got it and made it into a Cape and put it on a penguin statue.... I just want this story to get off my chest lol.

[@UnashamedFollowerofChrist]

@@days6087 This can be used to line the bottom of empty boxes for gifts and special occasions for cusioning and filling the space between the object in the box and the bottom of the box! Edit: If you make the folds of the tessellation big enough for deeper boxes, it works awesome!

Following your excellent instructions, I did complete this model; however, I could never imagine how anyone could make the one with a smaller, tighter grid. Making the folds for this model was hard enough, but for me, attempting to make the folds on that model with the tighter grid, seems like an impossible task.

[@sardonicnihilist5955]

I'm doing this but with normal paper, like what is used in an office (borrowed it from thr print room), and I'm half way through and the main creases look like they are tearing through - all that folding and reversing repeatedly. Are you using some sort of fancy origami paper in this video?

[@jessicareeves8519]

Any tips on getting everything lined up perfect? I’ve made two of these now, but both of them had a sliver at the end that aren’t big enough to fold

[@nolanboehme7743]

It really just comes down to accurate folding. I consider myself to be fairly experienced with origami but was looking for a more simple model to introduce tesselations to a friend of mine when i found this video. So, with that information in mind, my advice would be to just make sure every single fold you make lines up as perfectly as you can get it. No matter which fold. Try again with this in mind, and let me know how you do! :)

[@jessicareeves8519]

Nolan Boehme wow thank you I will certainly go back and attempt it again with this in mind

[@nolanboehme7743]

@@jessicareeves8519 part of the reason this happens is because the fold through all layers is inefficient, as well. If you want, you can just cut off the end as well :P

[@XenusMama]

Oooh.. if you stop at 8:15 and fold the bottom in to a flat piece and spread out the top , you have a lovely lotus blossom!

I am curious as to the sound dampening effect this might have. Imagine covering all of the walls in a room with panels of these made of a heavy weight paper such as 300 gsm or higher. Just to see if this would replace environmental damaging polymer sound dampening panels.
