Origami with Jasmine - Sonobe Units

[Fr0zEnHoTCh0cLaTe]

ahh im so bad at origami :X how do u do the second step.. sorry for being such an idiot when it comes down to origami :X your help would be greatly appreciated :D

[FrEaKy123321789987]

i am absolutely sure that the cube 5:31 is made from 6 units. not 8... well maybe there is another way to make it with 8 but i make them with 6.

[vanro123123]

great job :) you even included how many units i've been looking for a vid that tells me how many sheets of paper i need xD

great presicion most people forget to tell U.U

[jasmine2501]

No problem - but read through the comments, some of my counts were a bit off.

[Sleepinglarry]

Thanks, this really helped out a lot, and I'm sorry I accidentally gave you 2/5, I meant to rate 5/5.

It was really clear how you made the units linked together.

I also liked that you showed me another variation of the unit.

Thanks a bunch.

what size paper?

i know it's square, but what dimensions?

btw, nice video :)

[jasmine2501]

It doesn't really matter as long as they are all the same size. The ones I show here are 10cm papers cut in half, so they are 5cm squares. I cut them in half so I don't have to use so many papers.

[demonstorm2012]

btw learn english before talk with me kid

[jasmine2501]

That is priceless. That's the meaning of irony right there... very nicely done :)

[demonstorm2012]

i'm really tired of idiots.. replay but i will'nt replay again.. wasting of time with idiots..

[demonstorm2012]

it really don't show how to bind togheter retarded girl go to hell bb

[jasmine2501]

I love it when people make asses of themselves on Youtube... come back any time :)

[demonstorm2012]

u didn't show how to connect them.. 1/5

[jasmine2501]

Yes it does. It shows very clearly how to connect the units. And you didn't have to post your comment 5 times. I give your comment 0 out of 5. Pay attention next time before you disrespect.

[ArtThroughtheAges]

ok, were a couple of those using Christmas wrap, by any chance? And, if not, did I just give you a dynamite idea?

[jasmine2501]

No they were all with origami papers either from the Origami Calendar, or stuff that I bought - the big Sonobe ball is made all from Origami Calendar papers. I have tried using wrapping paper, but it is often not strong enough and easy to rip it. People send me interesting origami papers from various places and I have a big collection of it - some of it is almost too nice to fold up :)

[SabrinaYhap]

that is nice

i like the 36 unit the most (:

[jasmine2501]

Thanks! That one is a special variation I came up with one day. The model now sits on my dad's desk - it is glued for durability.

[boomer32191]

I think the cube only takes 6 units, right?

[itsmeordadog]

yeah and icosahedron is erm... 30 units

[noe153]

that dum

[jasmine2501]

OK - show me better. I'll give you one day to post the video. I want to see YOUR hands doing the folding.

[calachuchi101mj]

that 270 unit star was AWesOmE!!!!

[origamistuff11]

thank you, i make them!!!!!!!!

[Chadlmiller]

Jasmine, your count on the box is incorrect, it should have been 6, then you should a 12 but it said 24. be sure to check your numbers again.

[jasmine2501]

No the numbers are the correct number of pieces of paper it takes for each one. Not the number of sides. Have some fun! Make them and find out.

[Radjehuty]

Huh, so many variations for the same sonobe unit..yours is pretty interesting color wise o.o

but actually Chadlmiller is almost correct.

To make a cube you need 6 units, the one you said was 24 units is actually 30 units (stellated icosahedron). That 200+ unit model looks insane.....

Thanks!

[robdern]

Jasmine I got 24 papers, made 8 pyramids, of 3 colors. When I assembled though, your small sonobe ball w/ 8 pyramids on its surface appeared after using only 4 of my pyramids—12 papers. The 3 pyramids dangling from the starter pyramid had woven together to finish the bottom of the ball. W/ starter pyramid pointing up, look down. The color pattern on the top 6 triangles is mirrored on the bottom 6. 6 pyramids belt the ball. Alternating 3 have 3 colors each, insertion colors reversed, 3 don't.

[jasmine2501]

Yeah there are many different ways to do it.

[biggpogo]

hey make a vid onl how to make the 36 sonobe unit please i dont understand ur comment please write back

[frogmasterg]

can u make vid on 24 and 36 please im having trouble

[jasmine2501]

I could, but part of the fun is figuring it out. It's not too hard, just fold up 24 units, and start connecting pyramids. Always start with pyramids if you can't figure one out.

[hrabbit]

somehow i made a diamond O_o il keep messing with it ^^ thanks for the vid!

[biggpogo]

ooh my god i made a 900 unit ball thing omfg dude ill post vid its huge!!!!!!!

[pjbolas]

Isn't the Icosahedron model (5:44 in the video) made out of only 30 units?

I am trying to put this one together and I am struggling to make 5 peaks around 1 point (I can do 4 and 6 but not 5).

Do you have a video at all, on how to construct this shape, please?

[jasmine2501]

Basically you have to connect pyramids first, then connect 5 of those together and you'll see how it works. The pyramid is the basic unit really, you can't connect 5 individual units together.

[smeegheed]

groovy music nice vid

[castword]

good job, thank you

[castword]

uhm, I tried to make the one with 36 units, and it just became a big cube, very much like the one with 8 units, just bigger. how did that happend?

[jasmine2501]

You have to bend to points backwards for that one... the opposite way from how I did it in this video... so the piece becomes a wiggle shape instead of a curve. Hard to describe... just fold the points the other way.

[castword]

ok thank you

[castword]

so is it like there is no flaps or pockets outside the model when you are assembling it?

[jasmine2501]

No they are all there. I suppose you could do it inside-out, but it would be really hard.

[castword]

hmm, ok, I'll just make 36 new ones, and start to assemble. thanks

[jasmine2501]

If you can't get it, let me know and I'll post a video with more advanced Sonobe assembly.

[castword]

no, you don't have to. I made it!!:D, I just tried a few times, and I made it, it didn't become a ball when i finished, so i needed to remove a few pieces. Thank you a lot!. Now my biggest challenge is the one with 271 pieces! lol

[aazazaz]

nice and clear thanks
