Dear AdamSara, I have just been inspired to take up Origami having being given a 'Moravian Paper Star' made by a work colleague. I had to know how to make it and have since made more than 20! I now have the 'bug' and have been hunting out origami sites. Love your site, its very clear and easy to follow. I have just completed two 'Star Helena's', one from a 22cm square, and the secon
and the second 11cm! Both came out well. I used Christmas paper cut to size. Look forward to making more complex models under your tuition! You say you were late taking up Origami in your 20's, well how about me at 60!! Never to late to learn new skills and it helps keep the arthritis at bay!! Sorry for the 'split message, but I pressed send by mistake!!
You don't know how much I thank you about this. It's perfectly clear, you explain stuff like how to know the size of a paper starting with the circumference, and I don't know how you made the connection between the different takes I supose you had to do to draw the lines but it looks like magic xD
Hi! I'm 5th grade student. I'm from Korea and we, Korean people like orgami and are good at orgami. But you're even better than me!! I was called 'orgami master' when I was in US. I mean, even better. (Plus, I'm not boasting;; haha) And this orgami that you made is one of my orgamis that my friends told me:"It's awesome!!" Thank you for making these :)
That's AMAZING!! I had a project for my visual design course to make a CD case and I followed your instructions, the result is a mind-blowing CD case for sure :) Can't wait to show it to my professor, Thank you.
Sorry, I usually only demonstrate one model from a book (especially so for recent publications). The reason is that I want to promote books, not compete with their sales. Hope you understand!
I loved this Master piece!!! Lovely..!! I made a similar one... its mind blowing & unbelievable!! Thank you so much for sharing such rare art!! Thanks a lot!!
Thankyou for this great tutorial- you are an excellent teacher! I have made it 3 times now with different paper i designed and printed out.. Love this tutorial! Thanks :)
Very nice tutorial! I love how you always know where one might have difficulty and then you provide extra help! I found the model very beautiful and it surely is useful. Can be a great improvement for a gift (a present, not poison haha)! Thanks for the video!
Im Video gebe ich an, dass man für eine normale DVD ein Quadrat mit einer Seitenlänge von 32cm verwenden sollte. Mini-DVDs haben einen Durchmesser von etwa 8cm, also reicht auch ein kleineres Quadrat.
Excellent tutorial thank you! very clear and patiently done....your English is excellent also, but can i just say you might like to know that we always pronounce symmetrical as sim-metrical in English. :)
Amazing. Your videos are also very clear and it helps me to understand the folds and come through. I do get stuck but since I am doing it for first time for difficult creases. Thank you for posting such videos.
I'm really glad to hear that you found my instructions to be clear and helpful. It's totally normal to struggle here and there on the first try - I do, too. :) The second fold is often much smoother, because by then you know where you're heading.

happyfolding.com - enjoy origami online I was trying to do a Star of David from this link: ua-cam.com/video/bTAoiewODJ4/v-deo.html. I did not know there are many star of David's. :) Thank you in advance
Such a wonderfull CD box for a gift. Just a little pain having to cut off some 3cm borders out of a 35x35 sheet properly to suite a standard 12cm CD/DVD/BlueRay :-) Thank you !
how do those lines appear at every fold! i would assume stopping th video, drawing and resuming but your hands flow so smoothly that i dont know anymore!
Anyhow I guess I'll ask the question here as well, since not getting an answer from your page email. Just wanted to know what the finished dimensions of the octagon are, for the full size cd, with the 12.75in paper. I am unable to cut or print anything in that size, but that is the size I require. Hoping to buy some paper and already cut into octagons the right size.
Hallo Sara, danke für das super Tutorial. Ich habe mal eine Frage und zwar: Woher hast du das Schneidelineal und wo kann ich das käuflich erwerben - genau so ein schönes schmales suche ich schon seit einiger Zeit -
The pop band, Mecano, published in the year 1991, a CD-single entitled "Una rosa es una rosa." (A Rose Is A Rose). In one of the special editions of the single was a cardboard box that was shaped like a rose and person could take the CD (disc) he or she had to open petals of the rose (the petals was the CD case) and at its inside was compact disc. Might you make a CD-case that it will be a rose flower origami and when I open it inside of it is the CD???.
I saw a comment of yours saying you buy paper from conventions and special stores. Can you list in the description WHERE you buy your paper online? I can't find paper ANYWHERE that is the size required to make this for a normal sized CD.
Das war, dank der guten Erklärung, ziemlich einfach. Allerdings ist ein Oktagon mit einem Durchmesser von etwas über 8 cm zu klein für eine herkömmliche CD bzw. DVD, die einen Durchmesser von etwas über 12 cm hat, oder habe ich etwas falsch verstanden? Übrigens gleicht Origami bei dem Wetter echt einer Sportart, ich bin beim Falten ganz schön ins Schwitzen geraten ;)
Ens podràs fer més coses d'aquest llibre tan maco que ens has ensenyat, ??? és que ho expliques molt bé i així seguint els teus passos poc a poc em surt molt bé, no sé si en sabria d'un altra manera, per favorrr, jajaja gràcies, per cert tens un nen molt bonic, Felicitats!! Una abraçada.
Preciosa!!! moltes gràcies ja l'he fet dos vegades i si la primera va quedar bé la segona perfecta, m'encanta , moltes gràcies, ens en ensenyaràs més d'aquestes ??? semblants? per favor!!!! Petons
Hi Sara, Just wondering if you're 'contact me' email on your website Happy Folding is working, as I sent you an email there a week or so ago, about this model, and did not receive a reply?? I would have sent an email here as well, but I can no longer figure out how to do that? I think the option to email on youtube may be gone.
Her: "Try to be as precise as possible" Me: [using wrong paper size] [using wrong paper type] [probably not even a perfect square tbh] Me: [shocked when I actually make something decent that barely holds a CD] Me: 👍👍👍

This is so cool! I'm from Sweden and I don't speak German, but I still understood everything that you wrote. Our languages are so much alike!

i love the noise the paper makes when the video is sped up
I am in awe of the magical appearing dotted crease-lines! And by the beauty of this model. Thank you! :)

absolutely perfect instructions! easy to follow, considering it's a bit of a complicated figure. Very well done, thanks!
love watching people work with their hands properly :)

Thank you for another fantastic video, Sara. This model is wonderful, and your instructions are perfect (as always). Keep up the great work! :D
Супер вещь! Получилось с первого раза! Уже знаю, что в это чудо положу и кому подарю! Спасибо большое!
Just tried with regular origami paper (15cm) and it turned out well!
I love it!
Gotta try again with big paper!
thank you ^^
Vielen Dank. Tolle und übersichtliche Anleitung. Ich habe sie schon gefaltet und es hat beim 1.mal schon funktioniert.

I buy paper online, at origami conventions, and in speciality paper stores. Oh, and sometimes I simply grab some wrapping paper. :)
Nice! I´ve already finished one !! Congratulations. Great Job
Very nice models, Sara! Thanks for the very detailed instructions! Ü
AMAZINGLY PRESENTED. tHANK YOU.

There are many origami Star of Davids. Which one are you struggling with in particular?

I was trying to do a Star of David from this link: ua-cam.com/video/bTAoiewODJ4/v-deo.html. I did not know there are many star of David's. :)
Thank you in advance
I'll take a look and consider it for one of my future tutorials!
I think that classifies as a round, flat object. :)

Bardzo ciekawy pomysł. Spróbuję to wykorzystać i też takie zrobić. dziękuję
wow!!! that's amazing..!
Hm, das habe ich vor Jahren (2006) in einem Künstlerbedarfladen gekauft. Aber such mal z.B. bei Amazon nach einem Stahllineal.

danke für das super Tutorial. Ich habe mal eine Frage und zwar: Woher hast du das Schneidelineal und wo kann ich das käuflich erwerben - genau so ein schönes schmales suche ich schon seit einiger Zeit -
where do you get your paper all i find at craft stores is construction paper?

This was the first video I watched and also the first model I folded from your videos. Still love the Star Helena by Carmen Sprung.
I've added you to the list of potential winners. :)

Hm, the only way I can see that happening is if your initial paper doesn't have a white side. :)
what is the name of the star on the top right corner at 00:19
thank you so much!!! im going to do this for my girl friend!! :3
Gracias Sara, lo he conseguido a la primera.
This doesn't work when I tried doing the twist I ended up with no witw part on the bottom and I followed exactly
what kind of paper u use plz
Where can I get a big paper like yours Sara
Preciosa!!! moltes gràcies ja l'he fet dos vegades i si la primera va quedar bé la segona perfecta, m'encanta , moltes gràcies, ens en ensenyaràs més d'aquestes ??? semblants? per favor!!!!

In my opinion: she's cutting the paper to get the right shape of paper. Or did you find any shop that sells paper octagons ¬¬ ?
Hermoso! gracias
THANK YOU FOR THIS :))))
where do you get the paper from
Lindo, amei.
what kind of paper did you use?
Well one way is to take an object, and try to break it down to a square. (Hope that's not TOO vague... xP)
How about a Blu-ray wrapper?
excellent although I loved the first few times I went but very very good video takes recommend more;)
very nice.
hi Sara :) can u make origami letter? capital and small? thanks
Hi Sara,
Just wondering if you're 'contact me' email on your website Happy Folding is working, as I sent you an email there a week or so ago, about this model, and did not receive a reply?? I would have sent an email here as well, but I can no longer figure out how to do that? I think the option to email on youtube may be gone.

Her: "Try to be as precise as possible"
Me: [using wrong paper size] [using wrong paper type] [probably not even a perfect square tbh]
Me: [shocked when I actually make something decent that barely holds a CD]
Me: 👍👍👍
Congrats! :)
