Stellated origami. Links in image titles lead to pages with more information about each particular object. Modular origami spiky balls stars and stellated polyhedra. We colored all of our points but it could be much simpler to print them.
This extension is almost always symmetrical and regular. The model is also called small triambic icosahedron. In modular origami you combine multiple units folded from single pieces of paper into more complicated forms.
You make 12 individual triangular pentagrams and attach them together to create this amazing star shape. The surface of the stellated icosahedron is made up of a number of pyramids in fact if you take the regular icosahedron a solid with twenty triangular faces and make each face the base of a triangular pyramid you get a stellated icosahedron. Models folded and photographed by michał kosmulski.
My kids and i are proud of our creation and had a lot of fun building it. Single sheet origami stellated octahedron. This instructable will hopefully demonstrate how to make a stellated octahedron out of a single square of paper.
Instructions to this origami model can be found in the modular origami section of web page. The sonobe unit is very versatile and can be used to make all sorts of polyhedra such a hexahedron a stellated octahedron a stellated icosahedron and many other irregular polyhedra. You will need one square of paper i ve added new pictures to make the process more clear.
Stellated icosahedron made from 30 sonobe units. So we start by using the units to make a series of connected pyramids. A stellated dodecahedron is a 12 pointed star.
Modular origami is a technique that can be used to build some pretty interesting and impressive models of mathematical objects. This sonobe stellated octahedron is made with 12 sonobe units created by mitsonobu sonobe. Learn how to make modular origami stellated octahedron ball with 12 sonobe units.
Twelve sheets of origami paper folded into sonobe units stellation which is the process of extending a 2d polygon or a 3d polyhedron into a new form by extending elements such as edges of face planes. The sonobe unit is a simple example unit from modular origami that is both easy to fold and compatible for constructing a large variety of models. Modules designed by their respective authors.
