[origamiguy91]

[franZxx924]

[superhrman]

[deigue3]

[Re4obsesser]

oh my god i cant figure out the first folds(12 up and down)(6across) please someone make a vid of that or give me instructions I'm so lost lol

[adrian054798]

im the same a dont get that part

[xMaplestoryz]

I CANT MAKE THE SECOND PART

[itsmeordadog]

i have just made 2 of them the second one was alot easier than the 1st because you are use to doing the folds and technique more than the 1st time.

[SnakeNotAlot]

If you use 6 7/8 inches by 11 inches, the part were you fold to make 12 boxes. each box shouold be 5/8 inches(1/2 + 1/8 inch)They 6 fold side should be 1 and 6 1/2 /8 inches. Hope this helps, for whomever need the lengths. =P

[NTKorigami96]

i'ts paper A4?

[shovick]

with the video edition there's no way to see how you make the folding. I tried but it does not explain anything

[dutchpapergirl]

Hello,

I don't know how to make the connecton that you show us in your video at 21 seconds. I can fold the first part, but how do i fold it to get the nice end that is needed?

[xneeneex]

I need help on this. How do I make the 6 folds on the long side and the 12 folds on the short side or whatever.

[colours15]

What size of paper did you use ?

[Blackwargreymon]

An 8.5 by 11 inch piece of paper should be cut so that it is 5.875 (5 + 7/8) by 11 inches.

Byebye

[megapyro013]

COOL, I GUESS

[funnykid198]

i need some help can you teach the folds please

[LuluSweetThing]

thx man....that helped

[Luigi51896]

Will you make a full tutorial on this?

[KrN56]

i dont get how to make the first spiral, it just looks like a huge thing sticking out..

[ZProjectKoreaZ]

lol these are so easy and fun to make! Tho, why did u skip steps... I think you're trying to mess others up on making them... lol

[orsobrusco]

I write in a origami newsletter, I did this video to show to my italins friends the stpes that they don't understand, missing the others that they don't need, that's all :)

[ZProjectKoreaZ]

o ok because at first, it confused me since you only showed twisting in counter-clockwise (I think) but I found out you reverse everytime... lol

[theCHA70]

@ZProjectKoreaZ where do you get the paper?

[AnimeCutie9898]

@ZProjectKoreaZ EASY?!?! You must be amazing at origami :) I am only kinda intermediate :( how long have you been folding origami?

[msmoker37]

I cannot fold the diagonals :( I folded the 6 rows by 12 rows somewhat easily- but just cannot figure out the diagonals.

[XxicezokaxX]

HEY I DID IT! i got that weird 1st step thing... where theres a kinda 2-d cirle thing at the top! but i somehow got it inside...not outside....

[fanwuq]

I loved making these in 4th grade! Robert Lang's Origami in Action is one of my favorite books!

[superultramegarobot]

4TH?? GRADE!!!!!??????

[superultramegarobot]

4th grade!?!?!?!!?

[fanwuq]

Yeah, but now, I'm more interested in speedsolving the Rubik's cube.

If someone needs more help, I can make a video to try to explain more how to fold this if you like.

[ooSasukeooFangirl773]

....cool

[PinGsamY]

how the f u do that?

[onetoast]

guys dont go ahead an start making it.get

paper the size of 8 in a half in by 11 in an cut

2.8 in off th long side

[onetoast]

geezz u guys should no that the second ring is a horizontal flat twist

[millon]

...It does happen, but only after a while of fumbling around with the paper. I think that is why the maker of this video edits that part out. I wish you would have left that part in (if only for the second ring), even if it takes a lot of time and gives viewers the impression that you don't know what you are doing. I'm going to practice making some more of these, and if I can find a clear way of doing it in less than 10 minutes, I'll make a video.

[millon]

I've made 3 of these with instructions from Robert Lang's book "origami in action," and help from google and this video. The pre-creasing is easy, and there's a special way to do it that the webpage instructions describe. The second part, however, makes you want to cry. After making the first ring, it becomes so difficult that I still haven't come up with a method of making these come together smoothly....

[millon]

I tried to make 2 seperate comments to get around the 500 char limit, but the first part got cut because I gave the url of the instructions. You can get to them by selecting the first search result of "spring into action origami" on google.

[Berestovoy]

can you teach how to do that!

[luislaoh]

could you tell me the size of the paper? broad x long

thanks

[guitar9898]

[NuclearWarhead2323]

[LoudCitizen]

tomoko fuse is a master. i recommend buying all her books and amazing yourself. she's a great teacher and a true origami artist.

[orsobrusco]

I absolutely agree, and she is such a nice person... :)

[Kijjakarn]

No!

Kamiya Satoshi and Robert Lang is the greatest origamist in the world!

[NuclearWarhead2323]
