How to make an Origami Great Stellated Dodecahedron

[CrazyManiac70]

you should seriously make a remake of this, in HD! :)

[nekokazam]

You should put a video where you show all the pieces being put together... step by step... it would be much easier that way for others to understand.... but i really like the model!

[nekokazam]

I like the origami, but at some point i get confused because i can't really see what are you going...

[Piedude345]

3:42 Oh dear god....

[cosmo926]

thats a baskedda star

@Nolimitsfan

The name for any multiple unit origami creation is modular origami...

[dimitris95osfp]

thanks!

[Nolimitsfan]

I've made this one 2 years ago! =P

What's the name of this kind of origami making these balls?

[WiiWalkthroughWierdo]

@Nolimitsfan kusudama?

[Piedude345]

@Nolimitsfan This isn't a ball. =P

[30amberB]

how many colors do you need? does it matter?

[kommaufmeinehomepage]

wrong!

[missingno413]

I made 10 of them. xD

[Christian4802]

imma making a ultra small one, probaly wont work :3

[marzmyst]

if i use three different colors, is there any way i can put it together so every point has each color? ive put it together n taken it apart several times now and cant get it, is there a pattern to this? i got 10 of each color.

[Christian4802]

FTW MAKE A BETTER MOAAR INSTUCTED VIDEO >_>

[Christian4802]

another waster, horrible quality..

[C4SHB4CK]

[MultiTherod]

yo lla la hize y no podia armarla

pero lla la arme

[MrEllinas21]

I think it's te Bascetta Star

[heelyguy]

@MrEllinas21 it is! :)

[shreekhar7]

aweeeeeeeeeesome. took me time but i loved it.

[MikeDude48]

do you have any tips for keeping it together during when you put the modules together?

[firebeastXX]

AW MAN HARDER THAN IT LOOKS

[elijah13yull]

you commented on my friends video ask about lms , all i have to say is im white, black, and indian so it does matter what you say to me even though im mixed but you had no right to put that up there that was really awful and rude of you i would appreciate it if you don't post anything up there like that anymore. Futhermore i would like to say this is by : elijah hammond !5 years old .. thanks ,bye

[CrazySlay3r]

that's amazing! "ONLY 29 more to go.." wow how inspiring lol

[TheNaveelttil]

I think you need to include how to connect each point together.

[Rapocho]

Vale, ya sé hacer módulos... y el tutorial de la estrella donde está...?

[xNinja73x]

isn't that called a bascetta star?

[lavakid12]

for some reason i made it with 26 pieces o.O

[grilloconejo]

no, para que subiste este video, es mejor para nosotros que si la sabemos hacer, asi la podemos regalar y no sabran como hacerla

[DanielKrimy]

barbabellaatje,this is not a Great stellated Dodecahedron, but is called Tornillo/Bascetta Star made it by Paolo Bascetta.

[Razor2553]

nice

[uberdragonbreeze]

im gonna put LEDs in mine

[uberdragonbreeze]

YEA, BAROQUE MUSIC FTW!!!

[TheRazerkid]

use stiky notes it saves you time

[dandob13]

Are those like post it notes???

[tutisucari]

What kind of paper do you use?

[shelby522002]

could i make it with 60!

[XxSHOCKxX94]

the music Sucks

[MrGfgtgr]

great job

[coconoa100]

umm can u make a video about all your collection?

[dodeball12]

lol

[TheUgliestBump]

I don't have small squares so it looks like i'm using printing paper and i'll have one big ass Stellated Dodecahedron

[oinkbiscuit]

i know a really cool origami website! its tiny.cc/ausome_machine

its called ausome machine origami and it is soo cool!

[maxthepwner]

Could you please put one up saying how you attach it without it falling apart?

[hinata1110]

This took me 8 hours to make!!!!!!!! Thank-you a lot! I finished making all 30 pieces in 4 hours, but it took me an extra two hours to fit them altogether and I kept doing it wrong, so I had to keep on taking it apart /o/.

[hinata1110]

OMG, YOU ARE AMAZING <3  Thank-you so much!!!!! Keep making videos like these please. I love it!!!!! Oh my gosh, I can't wait to show all my friends this!!!!!!

[jplastow]

on 3:09 how do you know how much to fold

[microlab44]

nice but i dun really understand how 2 do it..

[lyricsmania124]

Is that 30 factorial or just 30 modules

[HighGuy512]

@lyricsmania124 well let's put it this way. if you make 30 factorial modules, you'll get 29 factorial stellated dodecahedrons :P (i.e. just make 30 modules for one stellated dodecahedron)

[lyricsmania124]

Is that 30 factorial modules or just 30?

[Inu1907]

your hands were shaking when you were assembling the units....

[kay486]

those are one of the best origami units out there. They are really cool because you can put 5 (or even more, but that doesent fit well) together, not like the sonobe ones.

[bloonblast]

i have to make this for an extra credit assignment in math xD

[PurpleyGirlx3]

That's really nice! :D

[dabenne96]

great!! very cool and I have make this. beautiful!!

[Attackofthebeans]

Great song.

I need to make one of these for my geometry

class, this is the only place where i actually

found a good "How to".

Thanks:)

[GlaringRyu]

Beautiful!!!

[dragonofthesun]

the stellated octahedron and stellated icosahedron are easier to make

[kayrat3345]

Can I have permission to post a video for this?

[loalcha]

What a shame, I just can't remember the name of this song ! Has anybody got a memory bigger than a red fish's one ?

[barbabellaatje]

Bach - Cello Suite No.1 Prelude ; )

[iyazfan101]

this is also called a bascetta star

[goldenwolfcat]

@barbabellaatje : If I may, whose version is the cello suite? Very nicely interpreted and embellished.

[kayrat3345]

I think this is an icosahedron. Isn't this an icosahedron? Somebody tell me the answer.

[fetchbunny]

What size did you start with? Does it matter or is it ok as long as its square?

[barbabellaatje]

Shown is 9x9cm but indeed it doesn't matter as long you use squares ; )

[Busterisafunnydog]

@fetchbunny as long as its a square its going to work (thats if you do it right)

[Skyrunnerufo]

Great! Managed to make one using double side coloured paper... Was slow in the begining when constructing my first 5 'spikes' but after that it was a breeze

[JolGol3aolcom]

i get 3 points not 4 what am i doing wrong!!!!!!!!!

DX

[bellematy]

It ain't dodecahedron but ICOSAHEDRON...

[barbabellaatje]

True "It ain't a dodecahedron... " it is a GREAT STELLATED DODECAHEDRON :D

[Truek397]

@barbabellaatje Yes, never forget that is great hahaha!!

[ZZgS]

ive always wanted to play that on my cello :) few more years XD

[1114adams]

nice song wats it called

[barbabellaatje]

Bach - Cello Suite No.1 Prelude ; )

[electriczombie10]

:DD looks awesome i just need more origami paper ^-^;

[Jimmie48j]

I got so close, ended up with a couple of extra mods and one little mod sticking out, I will try again though! Thanks for the video!

[geza96]

Yes nice I'm using 7.5 x 7.5 make it a little tricky but compacted which is my style. Thanks

[conejorabit2]

wiiiiiiii, perfecta combinación entre música y forma

[Schrabbi74]

Der Stern sieht wenn er fertig ist wunderbar aus....nur die Doppelfaltung am Anfang ist nicht nötig...es reicht einmal in der Mitte zusammen falten und dann jeweils eine Ecke zur Mitte hin kicken und es auf der anderen Seite auch so....

[barbabellaatje]

Du hast recht ;)

[iFireender]

Genau! Und auch dieses falten am schluss nur 1ne seite fertig dann die andere ist unnötig, man dreht das modul dann nur viel zu oft xD und bis man alle hat, macht man es eh noch nicht auf!

[missrandom80s]

eh i couldnt even make one of the modules :(

[hungryhippo12345]

Hi there! i like all your vids, they're really good! but i think it might be a little easier for the viewer to understand the instructions if you used origami paper...so it's colour on one side and white on the other. i thought it would be easier for us to understand! thanks! Great instructions BTW!

[sdmf6266]

making the unit is easy but assembling it is really tricky and it keeps coming apart but i got it through alright. Thank you! 5/5 AND SUBSCRIBED:)

[Kathattiful]

I just finished it. It looks so awesome.

Only took 2 and a bit hours.

thanks for the upload.

[isic1996]

wow looks hard. I going to do it probably tomorrow. Wish me luck

[barbabellaatje]

it looks harder than it is really i.... it is a good one to start doing modular origami good luck!! ;)

[iwillbombyou]

i did it:). its quite simple if you always keep the 5 points per circle thing in mind, get a bit confusing near the end with all the loose bits, just make sure you have connected all possible connections before introducing another piece

[barbabellaatje]

congrats!!

[iwillbombyou]

hey all your vids are really good, id like to point out/ask/query, that at 1.13 does it matter what way you fold it? cos there are two different ways. this may be where people are messing up?

[barbabellaatje]

YES!!, it is possible to fold a mirror image module of the one shown and then of course they don't fit when assembling, so you have to make a choice for one and stick to it for ALL modules!! :)

[OrigamiDragon64]

please can you make a video how to fit the parts together :)

[pietrorox]

Great vid and song, could you tell me the name of the music ?

[barbabellaatje]

Prelude from Bach's Cello Suite No. 1 ;)

[princessxhours]

Also, do we connect the modules in groups of 3 or 5? Please tell me! I'm doing a project that's due next week.

[barbabellaatje]

You make the 1st spike out of 3 modules...but when you make the subsequent spikes adjacent to the first one you need less of course as you use part of the already existing spike. You arrange the spikes in a ring of 5 spikes... as shown in the vid see 5:14 It is not that hard to make this one !! ; )

[princessxhours]

Where do you connect the other modules to the main spike? Do you connect them at the bottom? Thanks for replying!

[barbabellaatje]

No!!! All conections are identical ... you connect them the same way as you used to create the first spike... now you only use the spare flap which if you hold the spike up is pointing down ... 0_o

[princessxhours]

Sorry, this is my first time making anything related to origami. I still don't understand what you are talking about. I understand that I connect the modules the same way, I just don't know where. Can you please tell me? Thank you.

[barbabellaatje]

Hopefully you already figured it out ... when you look at a sigle module you see that they are identical on both ends so all connections are identical ... probably try some easier folding first ;)

[princessxhours]

Would this work with poster paper?

[barbabellaatje]

Yes that works well too!

[CantTouchKakashi]

SHIT THE CONNECTING IS WAY TOO HARD

[SpeedyTurtle1001]

where do u get the paper

[barbabellaatje]

Almost any paper will do for this one just start with printer papaer ; )

[AZN0RiCeCaKe]

i think it would have been easier to see if one side was pink and the other side was white.. i couldn't really see the folds very well but thanks anyway

[iloveparishilton666]

Hey quedo rebuena

[100101110100111]

Translation: Hey, it came out very well

[white88supremacy]

hey from one pieace of paper how much peaces can i do?? how can i cut them to make the 30 pieaces???

[barbabellaatje]

If you need guidance to cut a piece of paper into 30 squares this is nothing for you 0_o

[carlostololo]

o men i can connect all.. tell me how i do that ! please

[barbabellaatje]

watch carefully and I am sure you'll manage! ;)

[derekgl123]

omg the connecting is hard

[skittlebop9]

doese the size of the paper matter? cause i have pretty big paper

[barbabellaatje]

The locking of individual modules is very good so almost any size squares will do ;)

[anmartjbaby]

hey man thx i finally got it. and it turned out to be cool

thx

5/5

[AgentSmith529]

thats achually kind of easy lol thank you

[anmartjbaby]

how do u connect all the 5 tips

comment back plzzzzzzzz

[barbabellaatje]

All connections are the same ... you keep adding the units and make 3 unit spikes as if nothing else is attached... so you don't add 5 tips to form a ring... when you add 2 complted tips you create the 3rd in between... if you know what I mean... o_O

[anmartjbaby]

i already finished 3 tips and i dont know how to connect them

comment back plz

[barbabellaatje]

If you already made 3, I am sure you will figure it out yourself ;)

[RubiksOrigami]

i made a spikey dodecahedron with 90 units :0

[KawaiiPny]

LOL the folds tricked me a bit but i get it yay!! and 30 isnt so bad...D: i guess

[meorigami]

I made one my self watch in video responses;)

[RandomNickname1]

Freakin Awesome! I made one of these things for a school project on polyhedra, teacher loved it!

[thomascatlett555]

I cant assemble it!!!!!!!!!!! :(

[barbabellaatje]

Sure you can just try a little harder ;) this one is not that difficult!

[catarina300]

You just make it so easy!

Gonna do one ;)

[barbabellaatje]

It is actually not so difficult and a good one to start modular origami with ;)

[barbabellaatje]

Very good ;)

[Radjehuty]

:D

I think ill put an octahedron from 12 of these inside that awesome new 6-unit kusudama to add some interest! My brother was noticing how the open triangles on the inside were white ._.

[barbabellaatje]

Know what you mean ... could you make it fit inside ;) ?

[catarina300]

Done it! =D

Yes! But I had to use of some agility...

Its really risistant and need no glue!

Wonderful!

It seemed dificult at first...but no...got the hang of it!

=D

*

[Radjehuty]

yep, but I think I could have used slightly smaller paper than what I used to make the kusudama. It works, it's just a tad bit delicate.

[barbabellaatje]

ha ha before others to fit a tornillo module octahedron inside a Ostrum kusudama try let me explain... tad bit difficult for Radjehuty = close to impossible for most :D

[Radjehuty]

LOL! Let me explain to others for real. Tad bit difficult for me = same difficulty for all...I'm just too stubborn and have too much time on my hands to give up!

Good news though, it was not even CLOSE to the difficulty of the 6-piece Rhombicuboctahedron nor as hard as the last piece of the SPD though I am getting quicker at that one...:D

[thakker100]

shut up idiot

[Crookedsmile7]

What's the cello solo piece that you used on here called? It's lovely and I would love to play it. :)

[barbabellaatje]

Bach's cello suite prelude is a classical favorite of mine See also my favs suitable for electric and acoustic guitar as well ;)

[NauzzySmurch]

can u send me a link to the diagrams

[barbabellaatje]

link is in the vid description ;)

[therandomone3]

wow. must take a lot of time. i admire that you are very motivated in making this. i am going to start this very soon... i just need dedication... (:

[barbabellaatje]

The GSD looks more complicated than it is really also not that hard to make... alternatively you could go for the X-mass tree ball or icosidodecahedron (posted just 1 week ago...) is 10 modules less!! ;)

[andisnothekind]

ONLY 29!! HAHAHAHHA

[barbabellaatje]

I know I know ...that was my initial response to modular origami too ... now I think > 300 is HA HAHAHAHA :D

[plnko]

Nevermind thanks alot!

[plnko]

how many units would you exacly need..? do you know?

[barbabellaatje]

30 for the GSD shown in the vid bu there are manu more options see also my Spiked Truncated Icosahedron with 120 modules ;)

[Articfocx0493]

aw it was spinning...that crazy dodecahedron...well u gotta make me one for my algebra extra credit lol

[barbabellaatje]

you can leave out the "u" this one is not so difficult ;)

[MajumiSun]

Thanks alot! It was my first origami and I got it in about 3 hours. Its so beautiful!

[barbabellaatje]

nice X-mas decoration ;)

[SamJ77922]

thanks man. i made this for my sculpture class. hope i get an A haha

[barbabellaatje]

lol let me know what you got in the end ;)

[kevinsorigami]

This modular was the start of my Cubed/modular origami life! :D

~Kevin

[barbabellaatje]

the one in the vid is the 1st GSD I ever made :)

[xxphantomxx77]

For this origami I used paper from China that's $10 a sheet. It's Aloheritan (a-lo-hair-i-taan)

[barbabellaatje]

O_o a $300 GSD!! Mine was just 60 Euro cents or so ... I guess you simple took a few from your channel :D

[JMIP26]

logre raelizarlo pero no puedo harmarlo felicidades es muy hermoso tu arte es pero realizes otras figuras geometrikas mas simples jajajaja.....

[xlaosher]

thanks for this video! =D awesome!

[kratosss195]

weeeeee i am done,it is soooo easy to fold this

[MartinChauNZ]

it looks like a icosahedron

explain to how it is a dodecaheron

[kevinsorigami]

It is a dodecahedron because it had 20 points/spikes.

~Kevin

[Radjehuty]

Icosahedrons and Dodecahedrons are dual polyhedra. The dodecahedron has as many verticies as the icosahedron has faces. In this form, it looks like an exaggerated small triambic icosahedron, but in actually it is a dodecahedron in which the vertecies have been stellated. This is the third of three stellations of a dodecahedron.

[littlegrasshoppr]

Great video! The instructions were really helpful. Btw, where did you get that paper from? I've been trying to find some good double-sided paper.

[barbabellaatje]

Coloured memo block paper (9x9 cm) available at any office supply or department store over here ;)

[littlegrasshoppr]

Ahhh... cool, thanks! Such a genius idea. :) I'm definitely going out and getting some.
