Sonobe Origami Cube

By Anonymous -
Origami isn't my greatest skill, but I decided to giver it a try today. I made a sonobe origami cube that can also be used as a lantern. If you use normal paper, it will look nice as a decoration. Baking paper will make it work as a lantern. I didn't have any colored paper, so I used white printer paper.

Materials:
- 24 pieces of square paper (normal or baking) (I used nine centimeters by nine centimeters)


We will be making 24 of these, so I will show you how to make only one.



1. Fold the paper in half.


2. Fold the edges towards the middle, so that once unraveled, the paper is divided into four sections.




3. With the sections horizontal to you, fold the left corner just a little below the first crease.




4. Fold the folded corner up to the first crease.



5. Fold the first section up to over lap the second section.

6. Rotate the paper 180º



7. Repeat Steps 3-5.


8. Take the right corner and fold it up. Then tuck it under the flap.



9. Rotate 180º and repeat step 8.

10. Flip over the module and fold one point up.




11. Your first module is done! Now go ahead and make 24 of them! Yes, it is tedious work, but the end result is amazing!


12. Now, this next part is sort of like a puzzle. You have to fit the modules together in groups of three. Use your brain!!




13. Now, you have to fit all of the groups of three together to make a cube!









14. Voila! Your awesome cube is done! If you want to put a fake candle inside of it, remove four module from center and you can set you candle in there.

    Yeah, sorry about that... I had a video, but it wouldn't upload because the file was too large.

    Woah! So cool! That seems really complicated. I can't believe that you made it work.

California Trip

California Vacation         Usually, my idea of a perfect vacation is staying at home bundled up in a cozy blanket while sipping hot cocoa and watching a movie with my friends or family. This vacation however, my family went to California. We left Portland International Jetport and flew to Dulles International Airport in Washington D.C.. From there we flew to San Francisco International Airport. After staying at my uncle's new house for a few days, we booked seats on a 4-day tour bus.         The first day we drove to Los Angeles where I saw the Hollywood sign and the Hollywood Walk of Fame (the stars).  Although I don't believe her, my cousin claims to have seen "Diggy" from the show Liv and Maddie .           On the second day, we drove to Death Valley. On the way there, we saw the world's largest thermometer in memory of Death Valley being having the record of the highest temperature. Th...

Crayon Art

I used to love using crayons when I was little. I used to scribble everywhere! As I got older, I shifted towards colored pencils and soon my crayons were all stuck in some box that I never opened until now. Most of my crayons were broken in half (Don't you love that satisfying snap of a crayon? My 5-year-old self certainly did.), so I decided to snap all of them to make the crayons even. Materials: - 27 crayons (it doesn't matter if they're broken or not) - a blow dryer - lots of newspaper - a canvas (8 inches by 10 inches) - a hot glue gun 1. Peel the crayons. Yes, I know. It's a long and boring process, but it's worth it for the end product. An easy way to do this is by letting the crayons soak in a bowl of water for 5 minutes. The crayons are usually super easy to peel off after that . 2.  Arrange and hot glue the crayons in rainbow order. 3. Find some silhouettes online, print them, and glue them onto the canvas. I printed out...
