there's always something about your videos that gives me a silly smile while watching......fun to watch,and i can only think how much effort was put in this video......thanks
Hey! I did it! EDIT: It has been two years since I had done this, and now returning, this was just as hard as it was before. Worth the time and effort though!
So in summary you would need: Hinge - 16 Left Hand Unit - 24 Right Hand Unit - 24 Total pieces of paper: 64 Total Pieces of paper to cut up: 8 Is that correct?
Brilliant! I also gotta give props to Naoki Yoshimoto who first came up with this shape in 1971. I really like Brill's rendition as you execute it here. =)
Open Your Mind If you go to bottom right corner of the video and go to settings (icon looks like a gear) there will be a speed option. You can speed up or slow down a video using it. Although sometimes a video doesn't have this option but most will. Your welcome :)
I started working on this in second grade on a mattress, but i couldnt even make the pieces. fourth or fifth grade, made the pieces, but with printer paper, epic fail. now, finished it, wrong sized paper, failed. next day, start over, finished, SUCCESS!! five years!
I'm a pretty patient guy. I had all the corners made, but I just spent 30 minutes trying to put half of it together and fix what messed up. My final product for this is in the trash, and I'm going to bed. Lol
NOT Origami; THIS is the art of Kirigami, the official rules of Origami are here: -start with a square piece of paper, -do not use glue, tape, or scissors, -and do not decorate the model after it is complete.
I almost made this, except the star units got torn edges because I struggled to fit the hinges in, and sometimes I'd have to reinsert them because they fell out while I was inserting another unit onto a connected hinge. Any advice?
The margin for error is very small (even to the point that cutting the A4 paper had to be exact). In the end, I resorted to tape, but it was still very fragile. It fell apart before the first inversion flex was done. This is one of those "possible in theory" origamis.
After 6 fucking hours, I finally made it ! Fuck me, that was hard but it's done. I feel that I am a bit more proud of myself than I should be but hey, Imma appreciate it !
Excuse my ignorance I don't know why I said cardstock, it's obvious cardstock wouldn't be that pliable or bendable. I just wanted to double check, thank you for the reply.
I live in the US and our printer paper size is 8 1/2 x 11 in. I cut the paper into 7 3/4 x 11 and it has the same aspect ratio as the A4. The smaller pieces you cut by folding this are slightly smaller than from the A4 but it works well. Exactly what 160 gm colored paper do you use? The only one I can find is Mi- Teintes and it is quite thick and doesn't work well.
dutchpapergirl Printer paper here does not hold a fold well enough to tuck in the triangular flap. I am making this with it but I do have to glue and it is hard to get the flap against where it is to press hard on the glued area to have the glue hold.
I wanted to do each one of the two stars in a different color. So I devided the amount of units and hinges by two and folded one half in color1 and the other half in color2. I wanted to assemble the units but it doesn't work somehow. It's impossible to assemble the units so that I get the first star in one color. In the assemble part of the video I can only see left hand units. What do I do with the right hand units?
AHHHHHHH, I've checked my mistake. ALL of the left hand units have hinges and NONE of the right hand units have hinges! Yeah. Almost finished my flexicube.
On this size it can't be conected with glue. I spend 2 hours to try to assembly whole cube and it's dissasembly itself all the time. Folding from origami paper. Wings in hinges are to large. Tommorow I will try again, but must start again from the begining.
I did it with 80g paper, but I used a bit of glue, because otherwise it kept falling apart. glue is an Origami no-go, I guess ;) Next time I'll use 160g... Thank you so much for uploading dutchpapergirl!
+Phoebe Zhang You need 64 A7 pieces for 2 cubes, that are 8 A4 papers. You can use 64 A4 pieces as well, but you well get a really large one in this case ^^
Short of buying online, I can't find A4 where I'm at only traditional American legal sized paper. it's 8.5" x11". will this suffice or should I purchase A4?
+f3n1xn05 This might be a little late, but as long as you have a metric ruler with millimeters on it you should be fine. An 8.5X11 in paper will make up to six 74X105 mm papers (on the 11 inch side you can fit three whole 74mm and on the 8.5 inch side you can fit two whole 105 mm giving you six 74X105 papers). You will have excess paper to cut off as no multiple of 74X105mm will fit into 8.5X11in evenly, but you won't have to specifically buy 4A paper.
so should it be cardstock? You said to use computer paper, which is not very sturdy. I am using computer paper and it is falling apart as I try to put it together... Not finished yet, but I am having a lot of trouble keeping the pieces together.
Andrea Paniagua dutchpapergirl The size of printer paper and A4 paper are significantly different. You can cut a piece of a4 from printer paper though.
+dutchpapergirl In another comment, you said you used 80 gsm paper. A4 paper is difficult to find in the USA; the heaviest paper I've found so far is 105gsm on a website called Empire Imports that specializes in European office supplies.
This was made for a long time...And thank you for posting it because many people are tired for searching this
there's always something about your videos that gives me a silly smile while watching......fun to watch,and i can only think how much effort was put in this video......thanks
Agreed.
it was difficult......... interlocking was really difficult bt at the end i made it :)
HOW
I was looking for this video for forever, I found this video but forgot to save it so when I finally found it again the first thing I did was save it
Never @gonna give you up.
Never @gonna let you down
Never @gonna tell a lie, and hurt you.
Hey! I did it!
EDIT:
It has been two years since I had done this, and now returning, this was just as hard as it was before. Worth the time and effort though!
So in summary you would need:
Hinge - 16
Left Hand Unit - 24
Right Hand Unit - 24
Total pieces of paper: 64
Total Pieces of paper to cut up: 8
Is that correct?
Thank you
Super useful... Thx
Emily Wong I
Starkbro1 google it
Emily Wong not including the amount of times it takes to master the art of cutting them
Thank u so much i finally made a Yoshimoto Cube. Just requires hard work
Beautiful piece! Very well done! I will have to attempt this at one stage.
uhhgggg..... it took me 2 hours just to make 1 box-star, It's really cool though and total worth it.
it took me 4 hours to make just all the parts for 1 box star.... so I think I win this one
me
Took me a few hours and a little bit of glue to make it more sturdy but I did it!
you uses glue:
me: so you have choosen death
This origami is AWESOME!!!😀😀😀😀😇
this video was super easy to follow and informative!! wonderful resource!!!!
Nice job there! Oh and a good day to all of you reading this! :)
Brilliant! I also gotta give props to Naoki Yoshimoto who first came up with this shape in 1971. I really like Brill's rendition as you execute it here. =)
Thank you! My daughter tried and succeeded. It is fantastic!
Nice video! The model is by David Brill
Congratulations, you are very clever
Did you speed this up? My pause button has never been clicked so many times
nope, only small parts
Open Your Mind If you go to bottom right corner of the video and go to settings (icon looks like a gear) there will be a speed option. You can speed up or slow down a video using it. Although sometimes a video doesn't have this option but most will. Your welcome :)
Open Your Mind just slow down the video in the options
Scott Fechtel could you even do this
Is it bad to use printer paper or do I have to use origami
great tutorial but that final assemble was constantly disasembling. it almost made me cry
great model bro.. :)
What a creativity!🙏🏼👍 It was little bit of difficult but I made it THANKX.
please dont ever delete this video because i want to make this but dont have materials yet so please dont delete this video
Take your time! I will not delete this video :)
dutchpapergirl thank you
I started working on this in second grade on a mattress, but i couldnt even make the pieces. fourth or fifth grade, made the pieces, but with printer paper, epic fail. now, finished it, wrong sized paper, failed. next day, start over, finished, SUCCESS!! five years!
Damn that’s determination
Wow Its realy amazing
I REALLY want to make this right now
Wow this looks so cool! *vid starts* 0:43 this looks to complicated
Awesome! Thank you so much for sharing! Loved the music! 💖
thx for making this tutorial! i finally made it and it turned out so cool! i subscribed!
is so beautiful from me i come from thailand i love enghish
excellent and wonderful model
You can either make the right hand units diagonals by closing the paper to the right, it changes nothing, right?
What paper did you use for the one in the thumbnail?
So you make 24 left units and 24 right units?
i'm so happy this doesnt use glue. will probably make one
Daaaaaaang when I collect enough patience I'll try to make it xD
I'm a pretty patient guy. I had all the corners made, but I just spent 30 minutes trying to put half of it together and fix what messed up. My final product for this is in the trash, and I'm going to bed. Lol
I think I'm going to *make it!*
So Cool I'll definitely try
milliondollaakayy origami elena
It's difficult but at the end you willhave incredible thing
I worked on this for five years. I finally am in the process of making it.
NOT Origami;
THIS is the art of Kirigami, the official rules of Origami are here:
-start with a square piece of paper,
-do not use glue, tape, or scissors,
-and do not decorate the model after it is complete.
good job! cool video!
ik ben ook Nederlands en ik vind deze video heel erg leuk! 😃
Mooi!!! Ga je het proberen?
dutchpapergirl ik denk het wel, en je video is ook 1,6 millioen keer bekeken!
This is so cool! Thanks ima make this right now
Wow such a cool model! I must try it :D
So the first thing you showed: was it TWO sets of this origami just one formed in a star and the other in the box shape?
Big success!!!
In the beginning you said that you would need 12 weird thingies and 16 hinges. I made that, but then when I was assembling it, I needed double.
Oh my god. I'm also Ethan with the exact same profile picture
Dude, thats crazy
very nice work well done lord bless you amen
The net volume of the box is twice smaller than the gross volume capacity (of the entire cube).
I almost made this, except the star units got torn edges because I struggled to fit the hinges in, and sometimes I'd have to reinsert them because they fell out while I was inserting another unit onto a connected hinge. Any advice?
The margin for error is very small (even to the point that cutting the A4 paper had to be exact). In the end, I resorted to tape, but it was still very fragile. It fell apart before the first inversion flex was done. This is one of those "possible in theory" origamis.
Please try to do slowly
When it has the spikes out it looks like it's the floating thing from Destiny
Finally made this on the 3rd try and it's worth the effort, though the last cluster was a bit tricky to connect..
After 6 fucking hours, I finally made it ! Fuck me, that was hard but it's done. I feel that I am a bit more proud of myself than I should be but hey, Imma appreciate it !
Dude this music gives me tbs to when goat sim first game out
I can only get 8.5 x 11 inch paper (letter size) how will I have to change folds and cuts so I can get the right size pieces?
Takes practice, so don’t give up
What brand of paper did you use? It looked thicker than regular printer paper.
What kind of paper is being used here? Cardstock or? Could one just buy prepackaged sizes of these papers rather than cut them?
I used ordinary printer paper
Excuse my ignorance I don't know why I said cardstock, it's obvious cardstock wouldn't be that pliable or bendable. I just wanted to double check, thank you for the reply.
very interesting design, easy but time consuming
True
I LIKE THIS VID AND FULL OF ARTS
is het moeilijk ? ik heb er al naar gekeken, maar nog niet gemaakt. het is wel super cool.
I cant do this on UA-cam I need a perfect teacher like this person to teach me in person
is it possible to make it smaller?
I live in the US and our printer paper size is 8 1/2 x 11 in. I cut the paper into 7 3/4 x 11 and it has the same aspect ratio as the A4. The smaller pieces you cut by folding this are slightly smaller than from the A4 but it works well.
Exactly what 160 gm colored paper do you use? The only one I can find is Mi- Teintes and it is quite thick and doesn't work well.
Sue Stover Dit you try ordinary printer paper?
dutchpapergirl Printer paper here does not hold a fold well enough to tuck in the triangular flap. I am making this with it but I do have to glue and it is hard to get the flap against where it is to press hard on the glued area to have the glue hold.
Did you use card stock?
10:59
What about it?
Nothing just I tried to write time
@@creativeyash7483 :)
What is this??
I DID IT! 😃YAY😃! Thanks man
thanks for the tutorial!!!!
help,i keep getting stuck at 3:15 Dx
did you try to fold it or did you only watch?
i have tried folding it.
sorry for late response
also,is printer paper cut into 8 pieces the correct size?the rectangle at the end seems to be too big
Steve Yu printer paper (A4) is used
This thing is EPIC!!!
It took me a million years to try and make but its not impossible.
Hey cool video! Keep it up!
Buenos dia q bello esto de arte de manualidades
I wanted to do each one of the two stars in a different color. So I devided the amount of units and hinges by two and folded one half in color1 and the other half in color2. I wanted to assemble the units but it doesn't work somehow. It's impossible to assemble the units so that I get the first star in one color. In the assemble part of the video I can only see left hand units. What do I do with the right hand units?
So you divided 24 parts?
AHHHHHHH, I've checked my mistake.
ALL of the left hand units have hinges and NONE of the right hand units have hinges! Yeah. Almost finished my flexicube.
flexicubos the two are the same size pieces ?
Yes they are excactly the same.
Brilliant!
Say, how much time did it take do this? The first try.
On this size it can't be conected with glue. I spend 2 hours to try to assembly whole cube and it's dissasembly itself all the time. Folding from origami paper. Wings in hinges are to large. Tommorow I will try again, but must start again from the begining.
+LeBomB1985 Make sharp, neat folds...
I did it...😎🤗🤗☺️🙂😉😊
I like your idea
I like your job and ideas
that you did
Can i use printer paper as a substitute? I looked up that printer paper is 8.5 by 11, but A4 is 8.25 by 11.75
Steve idk
Yes, but you need to have 11 sheets of 8.5 x 11" for this. Cut 6 A7's per piece of printer paper
I tried this, but mine just wouldn't hold together :/ I used printer paper, am I using the wrong type of paper? Or would cardstock work better?
ordinary printerpaper is too thin.
I did it with 80g paper, but I used a bit of glue, because otherwise it kept falling apart. glue is an Origami no-go, I guess ;) Next time I'll use 160g... Thank you so much for uploading dutchpapergirl!
Good luck to anyone who tries to make this
I'm about to attempt this marvelous challenge
I have make the double star flexicube it is so cool
Great video! Can you tell me the name of this song please? I used to play it on the guitar
15:26 minutes...
excellent work ,,question whats the name of that beutiful music on the background
the measures are in millimeters? Isn't that really small?
pamela azg Yep, millimeters...
+pamela azg It isn't as small as you think. One piece of paper is about 10cm long and 7cm wide ^^
Do you need 64 A4 pieces to make 2 cubes? Or is it just for 1 cube?
+Phoebe Zhang You need 64 A7 pieces for 2 cubes, that are 8 A4 papers. You can use 64 A4 pieces as well, but you well get a really large one in this case ^^
Can I use 6"x6"? please reply
Wow! Thank you.
Xrcxxxxdxe., I k
Eres genial.... Una maravilla
Does it need to be A4 paper cause in America we only have letter sized paper that is 8.5 inches x 11 inches
You can use that 2
+Abdullah Ahmed are you 100% sure? Did you make it with letter sized paper?
Wonderful
Is this some sort of sorcery
Short of buying online, I can't find A4 where I'm at only traditional American legal sized paper. it's 8.5" x11". will this suffice or should I purchase A4?
I'm afraid that the aspect ratio of A4 paper is a necessity for this model. Office Depot's website sells Hammermill brand A4 paper.
+f3n1xn05
This might be a little late, but as long as you have a metric ruler with millimeters on it you should be fine. An 8.5X11 in paper will make up to six 74X105 mm papers (on the 11 inch side you can fit three whole 74mm and on the 8.5 inch side you can fit two whole 105 mm giving you six 74X105 papers). You will have excess paper to cut off as no multiple of 74X105mm will fit into 8.5X11in evenly, but you won't have to specifically buy 4A paper.
Shouldnt it be A4 halved???
This is stupid it doesnt bloody work >:( ;(
none of your stuff works!!!!
It does work if you use sturdy paper. How else would I have been able to show you in a video???
so should it be cardstock? You said to use computer paper, which is not very sturdy. I am using computer paper and it is falling apart as I try to put it together... Not finished yet, but I am having a lot of trouble keeping the pieces together.
Is this your own design?
does printer paper work?
i really need help!
?
you make it so fast! I think for a kid it took like 3h
you could slow it down
What type of paper did you use because i tried printerpaper and it did not work
I used paper that is a like 160 grams per square meter
Andrea Paniagua dutchpapergirl The size of printer paper and A4 paper are significantly different. You can cut a piece of a4 from printer paper though.
80 grams paper is too thin. Try 160 grams!
dutchpapergirl Could you glue two silver rectangles with 80 grams each togther? Would it work then?
+dutchpapergirl In another comment, you said you used 80 gsm paper. A4 paper is difficult to find in the USA; the heaviest paper I've found so far is 105gsm on a website called Empire Imports that specializes in European office supplies.
i tried to make but it's so hard.how to do the parting part?
