A great model. The demonstration and the instructions are very clear. Being left handed I find it easier to add the units from the left side. It is so surprising and rewarding to find how the model comes out using different paper patterns
Good tutorial Sara and compliments to the designer.I found the use of paper clips to be a must with the smaller #3 size working the best. I got a little tired and frustrated last night and had to put it down. With 16 units, you have a lot of unwieldy paper in your hands and I can't imagine assembling without clips. Also, with the mass of paper and confusing angles going on, I couldn't determine which unit was the first for the final interlink, so I disassembled and marked the first and that worked well to locate it.
That's a good idea. Also, I agree, using paper clips or something similar makes assembly a lot easier. Without clips, I got very frustrated and I want to enjoy origami, not grumble because of it. :)
Your tutorials are simply the easiest to follow and explained carefully. Whenever I'm making some model while watching your video, it feels like I'm folding them with you along with some neat tips. Thank you so much for posting videos so regularly and about such nice models.
I'm really happy to hear that - both that you find them easy to follow, and that you feel like I'm right there with you! And of course I'm glad you appreciate model selection and me making time for these videos. :)
Hey Sara, could you please help me with how to make a model where one side is variant 3 and one side is variant 2? I just need help with one individual model, to see how it will look from both sides. Is there a way you could take time out from your schedule and fold one unit of such variants?

@Sara Adams: Do you recall visiting Sok Song's Meetup group ("OMG-NYC") at a tea-&-pastry shop ("Argo Tea") on 12th Street in Manhattan? I believe you were there with Carmen Sprung & one other lady.
There's actually a tutorial for that fantastic fox on UA-cam already: ua-cam.com/video/h1_2Rgjopeo/v-deo.html - and with permission from Hoàng Tiến Quyết. So you're lucky and can start folding right away. :)
There'll be future kusudama tutorials for sure! While you're waiting for a new video, have you already seen these two? ua-cam.com/video/mJ6SsdzpClc/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/GBtKVRUwlv4/v-deo.html
It's amazing but please can you make video for each variant cause the joining part for each variant is different. If you do so it will be a more helpful for me. Whoever accepts please like so that she will do it for us
You really don't have to use paperclips for this one, even with smaller paper (< 3 in.). Thick paper, however, is a pain to work with, since the centre gets so cluttered.
I agree that it's more manageable with thinner paper. I also did assemble the model without clips, but I like to share these tips that might help others out there more. Plus, I do believe it makes the process much easier and more pleasurable. :)
Damnation assemble it took me more than an hour I get used to make mandalas and kusudamas but this one was brutal to say the least. Anyway thank you for sharing if i have time i will make all version of it 1 was enought for now :).
Ah, don't ask how many I folded before I made this video. But I found adding paper clips makes things a lot easier. Imagine, at first I didn't add clips or anything while putting together the star. Yikes, that wasn't so fun!
Uuuuuuugh, this model was bad for my blood pressure. I just about gave up on it, as it was an epic 3 hour battle. But, it somehow came together in the end, and I guess that's what counts. I do think adding a module or two would have made this a lot easier, but now that it's done, I don't even want to touch it, for if I do, it may just burst apart at the seams. The tutorial was very good, but the model was a bigger challenge than connecting a few waterbomb bases plus a couple of folds would suggest. I did version 1. I'll email you a pic, plus a couple of other stars you taught on other videos, and at a minimum, you can have a good laugh. :)
Thanks for the photo, it looks really good. There's no evidence of your struggle, although I feel your pain. Did you use something to fasten the modules while putting all of them together. For me, that made the process a lot easier.
Hahaha, I think I had more wire than paper on this by the time it was finished. The fold-over clips you recommended did their job, but it took me a good while to figure out why it looked like I was missing a module. When I finally figured out the internal flap that had pulled itself out of place, this began a cat and mouse game of fix-one-flap-pull-another-out-of-place-somewhere-else-in-the-circle that felt like a never-ending game of whack-a-mole. I ended up using large paperclips on each of the points to hold those flaps in place, which created a conical structure that was tough to work with, especially when I discovered that my new clips were in the way of the front and back foldings, forcing everything to be rearranged. When my initial foldovers on the back side started coming out, I almost threw the whole thing in the trash, but after writing a comment here saying that I had given up, I couldn't hit the button to post it. I thought about all the time that you had worked on this tutorial and how long I had worked on getting this flailing mess to become a coherent whole, so I decided I owed it to both of us to try one more time. And then...it was done. I carefully took the last paperclip out and...there was a Star Festival sitting on my table. I think sometimes my experience of your channel is more like "MadFolding/HappyFolded." But hey, I didn't come here for easy. I came here to learn, and you deliver, both in new designs and the value of having a little patience with myself. :)
I'm sorry to hear you found this video to be too difficult to fold along to. If it's a bit too challenging right now, try folding some easier models to hone your skills and then come back to this one. This is what I've done many times in the past, and it's always been so rewarding to see how I progressed, finally managing to master the complex folds that were too difficult for me before.
Ah! It's been so long since I've done origami. This piece caught my eye, and I couldn't stop smiling the entire video. Thank you for sharing!
I'm really glad to hear that. Keep folding - and especially smiling. :)
A great model. The demonstration and the instructions are very clear. Being left handed I find it easier to add the units from the left side. It is so surprising and rewarding to find how the model comes out using different paper patterns
I'm glad you like it!
I just made it and it was amazing!!! Thanks for the great tutorial! And the "paper clip hint" was crucial. It makes life far easier!
I'm glad I could help!

I am happy you are uploading more frequently!
My schedule is still a tutorial on the first Saturday of the month. But if I manage to squeeze an additional video in, I will. :)

They all look very amazing stars... I love making origami for my friends and my family members on there b-day or holidays is the best time
I'm sure they appreciate the effort you make for them!
Hi! If we are making model number three do we need to do the step at 3:56 and have that little notch in the corner?
beautifull absolutely stunning 😄
I agree, Nobuko designed a stunning model!
This is a beautiful tutorial!!! Thank you very much!!! Can't wait for your next amazing tutorial!!!
I'm glad you like it! And I've indeed got some exciting models planned for the coming months!

@Sara Adams:
Do you recall visiting Sok Song's Meetup group ("OMG-NYC") at a tea-&-pastry shop ("Argo Tea") on 12th Street in Manhattan? I believe you were there with Carmen Sprung & one other lady.
i cant do variant 2, i dont understand how, im doing both sides the same variant :(
beautifull! just made it
Congrats!
wow final models at the end of the video. Can you put links from were we can print it
yeah please give the link sara
I have a question about the tessellated turtle. Is it ok if I use bear hide?
+OrigamiMKR I haven't used that paper type yet, but the description given at origami-shop.com sounds like it would work well for the turtle.
What was the name of the basic fold you used when you started? Thanks. Very impressive
A waterbomb base. I'm glad you like it!
Nice video ♫♥
Thanks!
thanks for the tutorial
You're welcome!
Awesome!!!
I have a suggestion can you maybe to a tutorialbof the origami fox designed by Hoang Tien Quyet
There's actually a tutorial for that fantastic fox on UA-cam already: ua-cam.com/video/h1_2Rgjopeo/v-deo.html - and with permission from Hoàng Tiến Quyết. So you're lucky and can start folding right away. :)
omg thi is amazing
I could do a tutorial of kusudama please?
There'll be future kusudama tutorials for sure! While you're waiting for a new video, have you already seen these two? ua-cam.com/video/mJ6SsdzpClc/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/GBtKVRUwlv4/v-deo.html
It's amazing but please can you make video for each variant cause the joining part for each variant is different. If you do so it will be a more helpful for me. Whoever accepts please like so that she will do it for us
I fear I won't be posting tutorials for each variant. But I am sure you can figure it out from the diagrams once you've mastered one assembly method.
@@Happyfolding OK thankyou
fantastico
grazie

I like it when you do not need glue so that the modular figures stay firm
Yes, I agree!

Sorry my favorite origamist its just that instead of hearing "nobuko" I heard "nopoopoo" I'm so sorry
It must be you - I clearly hear Nobuko. :)

Thanks, I've added it to the submissions!
I ended up wasting 16 pieces of paper cause this didn't make any damned sense to me.
