Origami Tessellation Basics: Triangle Grid

[@Pyresh]

Your accent is nearly hypnotic. I'm very excited to be learning tesselations - I thought they were something that only really experienced folders could do, and I want to develop some tesselated folded motifs in fabric.

[@JoshuaMaxwellUSA]

i have to say,you have the single best videos in all of youtube no questions asked.i hope you have another burst of creativity and make more videos! all of the other videos cant even compare to yours.keep up the great work and keep on teaching others about origami! ~arrowheadranch~

[@nanibly]

Thank you so much for this and all your videos. I am a sewer and would actually like to make some fabric tessellations. I so appreciate your calm, easy, "you too, can do it", manner of your teaching!

[@Happyfolding]

Well, it *is* easy ... once you know how. :) Glad to hear this video helped you figure it out!

[@rikk06]

thanks for these tesselation videos. you're one of the best (if not the best) origami gurus on youtube =)

[@Happyfolding]

@Pyresh You can also try searching for origami quilts. It may give you some inspiration for combining tessellation motifs and working with fabric.

[@jabsjetz3332]

Thank you so much. Trying to get into tesselations - they are so beautiful. I am going to learn the basics from your videos.

[@Happyfolding]

Have fun exploring tessellations. And a fair warning - they can be quite addictive. :)

[@Happyfolding]

Fold slowly and just one layer at a time. Try to always fold to an edge, rather than a crease line. You'll have to reverse creases for this, but that will actually make the grid creases stronger - which is usually another plus.

[@Happyfolding]

@trrngrl01 Great to hear that these basics help you on your way. Tessellations are indeed very mesmerizing!

[@Happyfolding]

@Oridom66 If the model needs a triangle grid, yes. Sorry, I don't know the model.

[@Happyfolding]

Thank you. :) You make me blush!

[@Happyfolding]

@roxas123ist Sure, just keep dividing the grid to get more divisions.

[@beiwenalmighty]

Are the paper sizes for the square paper and the hexagon paper the same?

[@audreypollet-villard3160]

Dear Sara, First of all, thank you so much for you great tutorials. I'm working on Eric Gjerde Tesselation book and I've difficulties in folding the triangle grid. On a 35 centimeters paper square and I often have problems of precisions, I was wondering if you had advises or tricks to be more precise. Thanks

[@Bluerosefma]

How do you make the hexagon?

[@TheCommunalDwarf]

i love the voluume of ur vids

[@Happyfolding]

Check out my video on how to cut a hexagon from a rectangle. Fold as suggested, bt don't cut. Then continue creasing as shown for a hexagon.

[@Happyfolding]

@Bluerosefma I have a separate video on how to cut a hexagon. Check watch?v=PQAc733KVEc

[@Happyfolding]

@ThePCfreak2000 Just keep dividing the grid to get more divisions.

[@iluvmakin]

how can you fold this with a rectangle

[@AgboAdoks]

hello good day. what kind of paper is that pls?

[@Happyfolding]

Sure, just continue folding each section in half and you'll get more divisions.

[@althund]

can you make atutorial for a triangle grid with 3 triangels ?

[@qaspian2156]

Just cut one part from the four parts.

[@Happyfolding]
