Star Icosahedron design by Evan Zodl.
Thank you, Evan Zodl, for granting me permission to demonstrate your design!
Besides creating this amazing modular Origami ball, he also has a great Origami website: ez-origami.com/ - and a RU-vid channel: / ezorigami .
To complete the Star Icosahedron you will need 20 rectangular papers, which will first be folded and cut into the hexagon shape. You can use any rectangular paper with a ratio of 1:1.547 or bigger. Copy paper or A4 size paper works nice with this model.
After folding and cutting your paper into its starting shape of a Hexagon, you fold and collapse your sheet of paper until you completed one module. It should take you about 12 to 15 minutes to complete one module.
After you finished all 20 modules, you start the assembly. The Star Icosahedron is not too difficult to assemble. You will not need any glue or other help like paper clips or clothespins - as the icosahedron holds together very nicely.
You can also create other shapes besides the icosahedron. For example, the Tetrahedron will need 4 units and the Octahedron will need 8 units. The assembly is almost identical to the Icosahedron.
You can read more about this model on my website:

I have used the following audio tracks from the RU-vid Audio Library:
The Bluest Star
Water Lily
The Engagement
Sand Castles
Runaways
Jack In The Box
How About It
Highway Wildflowers
Going Going Gone
End Of Summer
Have Fun Folding!
I would love to hear from you if you completed the Star Icosahedron or if you have any other comments to this beautiful model.

Just finished! thanks for the video, it's very clear and easy to understand!

@fanisentinellajerbic 8 лет назад

Thank you so much! I made this for a school project and everyone liked it. I had a hard time assembling it so I cheated a bit and glued it together but it still looks nice. Greetings from Croatia :)

Hi Fany, I am glad you succeeded, even with a bit of cheating. I think this is just a matter of practice. :)

Chaya Schlossberg Thank you so much, Chaya! That makes me very happy. I hope, I will be able to finish my next tutorial by next weekend. :-)

I viewed this without audio -- thanks for the titles. You might put in a title that you start off cutting a hexagon from a rectangle so it is clear that you can skip over this to the next stage. For example, "for this model you will need 20 hexagons..." I'm pretty proficient at making the hexagon grids for tessellations, and when I try this model I will likely use a template to cut the hexagons, and just put in the necessary folds. NIce tutorial, thanks!

executivedysfunction Hi, thank you for your comment. Actually at 0:49 is displayed that the first step is creating a hexagon. But maybe this is not too clear. So I will add another text that will tell people that they can skip to later on in the video if they know how to fold and cut a hexagon. So thank you for pointing that out to me. And I am happy that you liked my video. :)

audrey street Hey, Audrey! Thank you so much for your kind words. I am glad you liked it.

@executivedysfunction 9 лет назад

Thanks for responding. I'm making some practice modules now with different papers and sizes and plan to assemble the model in a day or two.

@OrigamiTutorials 9 лет назад

executivedysfunction It would be nice to see your version of it. So if you are using Instagram, you could mention me with @origamifolding, so I can see your Star Icosahedron.

@edwardholmes91 8 лет назад

Wonderful tutorial and equally wonderful model! I was just wondering how you assembled the tetrahedron? I've only got the icosahedron and octahedron together!

@kastaylor01 4 года назад

Excellent instructions.

@shelarsanjana 7 лет назад

Thank you for this tutorial! I made a beautiful hanging lampshade out of it. (Used translucent paper)

@nskkhan 7 лет назад

Sanjana Shelar I hope you can answer my question.. is it open at the bottom??

@shelarsanjana 7 лет назад

N S Khanum You mean is the model open at the bottom? No, mine is not. I've closed it. I used an LED bulb that does not radiate much heat inside.

@nskkhan 7 лет назад

I mean can it be closed?? like a normal kusudama is like a ball.. I wud love to see wot u made..

@shelarsanjana 7 лет назад

N S Khanum Yes, I made it closed. I suspended it using wires on the bulb fitment. The whole ball kusudama encases the bulb.

@nskkhan 7 лет назад

@OrigamiTutorials 8 лет назад

+Angela Santos According to Google Translate: "I liked! I thought very hard but I could do, I loved the way it was shown." - So thank you so much. I am so glad you liked it and that you managed to fold and assemble it! Happy Weekend!

@chantalbellmont6937 6 лет назад

can you make a tutorial for this without the flower star thing, just a plain d20

@nskkhan 7 лет назад

I hope someone can answer my question.. is it open at the bottom??

@Kerstin_2 8 лет назад

I cannot figure out on which point of the paper you orientate where you fold the edge of the paper at 2:35. I'm really frustrated right now.... Is there some invisible point at the line??? I really want to make this kusudama, but i'm so confused 😕 could you please tell me?

@OrigamiTutorials 8 лет назад

The two marks you need to align are - left side the start at the half line, then the right corner needs to touch the 3/4 line. There is no other spot you need to match to. You cannot change the angle of the fold - when you fold to the 3/4 line. It will always come up correctly. I hope I understood you, and that you can go on from here. :)

@sherylleannmanlapas5128 8 лет назад

thank you so much for the tutorial !*^▁^* it really helps me in my project icosahedron ^_^¦¦¦

+Sherylle Ann Manlapas Glad you liked it! :)

@lamnotaghost 4 года назад

I manal create this modules, but it's kusudama is wonderful

@annaturner763 9 лет назад

Gee, stunning,....how long does it take to make the whole model?? .....one day....!

@OrigamiTutorials 9 лет назад

Anna Turner It takes a few hours of folding and some time for the assembly. But it is totally worth it. I normally split up folding kusudama into several days. Then I enjoy and relax - and in time finish something beautiful.

@edwardholmes91 8 лет назад

+Origami Tutorials I find that assembling the model whilst folding it helps with the boredom of folding many of the same unit!

@joycemonteirofernandes 8 лет назад

Oie.. Da pra fazer 15×15?

@OrigamiTutorials 8 лет назад

+Joyce Monteiro Fernandes You should use just regular rectangular A4 format paper. Look for the specific measurements at my website: origamitutorials.com/star-icosahedron-tutorial/.
