The Amazing Fidget Pyramid! Origami (Paolo Bascetta)

(Rather Simple) How to fold an amazing transforming Fidget Pyramid! It's actually five pyramids that snap together to become one pyramid. It also transforms into a 3-D 4-pointed star that makes a loud noise when you tap on it, and it transforms into a bird beak that chomps when you pull on the sides. Last but not least, it performs two other super cool fidgety motions, which is really why it's called a Fidget Pyramid. I don't know about you, but at least I am amazed at all of the things this model can do!
I happened upon this model as I was trying to design a one-piece ninja star with longer points. I started out by trisecting all of the corners of the square on my way to make narrow points and then POOF!.... this thing appears! I still haven't figured out the ninja star yet, but this model sure is cool!
Update: I've just found out that this pyramid was previously discovered by Paolo Bascetta who taught it at the German Origami Convention in 2012. He has given me his approval to keep this video up. As far as I know the fidget portion of the model is my own addition.

[@dhairyabhanushali8575]

I totally loved this model! I came up with a new function for it: if you made it out of A4 paper and you turn it over and hold it on the 4 vertices, and tap your fingers on the bottom, it's like a mini drum!

[@Vrishin-wl1du]

Thank you because I only haveA4

If you unfold at one step when making a origami crane/swan you get the creases to that. Just something I realized.

[@BeeItsRaining]

Wow 😳 I did it! It’s surprisingly really satisfying

[@zeondragonight8137]

Yayyyy, a pyramid fidget spinner. Thanks Jeremy for making this amazing fidget spinner. I also like this types of origamis. Simple, yet versatile. And yeah, I actually discovered it 3 days ago, but didn't think it could be also be seen as a fidget spinner. I made that for my lamp. Anyhow, thank you for this amazing fidget spinner. Yayyyy.

[@zeondragonight8137]

I'm not kidding.

[@laary]

Zeon Dragonight This isn't a fidget spinner though.

[@katrinaislove1]

my classmate made this back then in 2013, we used to put male or female on one side, and your possible crushes or some different suff on another side, its like a luck charm to play with, but yeah you could say its original since i havent seen a tutorial for this except my class mate he didnt post a vid though sooo its safe to say its original!! P.S. you can place your hand at the hole at the bottom!

[@charb719]

Katrina can you explain more? What do you mean male or female on one side?

[@flealgaming]

Yeah i also know that model but your talking a different model than the fidget pyramid

[@charb719]

[@emanasim_]

Looking at the thumbnail, I really didn't think it would be SO easy! or it may just be Jeremy's great teaching skills ;)

[@jeremyshaferorigami]

Thanks Eman, Ya, to get an almost seamless stellated pyramid from just 12 folds was pretty amazing to me, and that it snaps shut into a single pyramid... all the better!

[@jaemielee_mc1053]

For me it did

[@gypsyanne5909]

Did you cut it into a square?

[@shadowcj8820]

Ok I figured out a better way: so first fold it from the point the a diagonal fold and fold the middle down and press down it worked for me!

REPLY 132 View all 34 replies Nancy Haskell Nancy Haskell 1 second ago dude this is the coolest toy try to put it on a comurchall do it yeah REPLY JeremyShaferOrigami JeremyShaferOrigami 8 months ago I love this kind of model! Simple, yet so versatile! I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out that someone has already discovered this previously, but if so, I would think it would have become a very popular model because it does so many things and it's so few folds. To me it even has the look of a traditional model because it's practically a bird base! That said, I've scoured the internet for hours looking for it, but so far no sightings. If any of you have seen it before please let me know so I can ask belated permission and give them proper credit. Read more REPLY 99 View all 38 replies
