Origami Basics: Hexagon

[ThePeacefu1]

This is it

[musicloversrock10]

like so

[brexdance]

Thank youuuuuuuuuuu...this helped soooo much! I have to make spidrons for a trigonometry project and the base of it is a hexagon. I have to say the rectangle is def. easier to understand but both work great!! :-)

[keshusuper]

can i use a printer paper



[AdamsSara]

@keshusuper Sure, you can use any paper you like.

[StacieWacie92]

I can't do the hexagon with the square paper. :( I get to the second last step and i'm confused.

[AdamsSara]

@StacieWacie92 The method for a longer rectangle is easier, so try using that method if the square one is too hard.

[IAMATOTALSPAZZ]

Thank you! I did my first origami snowflake yesterday and I'm so excited. Your videos are very helpful! Thank you!

[badboyisback9876]

thumbs up if you used this for the snowflakes

[7elegrama]

algunas de las dobleces son más fáciles y lógicas de hacer por la otra cara a como ella lo hace.

[GBWeiss]

This is really hard with the 2nd piece of paper... :|

[y2clay14]

You always make all of your tutorials so easy to understand. Thank you very much for providing us with such high quality tutorials.

[pollygone1223]

dident help at all sorry

[sosyPel]

or you can draw it with a compass, pencil and rule ;)

[ChantalBieberx]

Or you could just measure it out :p

[ThePurpleHarpoon]

Great job...your instructions are the best !

[blackmike1982]

Hi Sara, you're a lovely person, I love that you have the patience to teach and also share your knowledge at all, I really like your videos and all the models that have folded, thanks for being a great person and a great origami teacher, excuse my english, greetings from Mexico.

[XIIxMysticxIIX]

how big does the paper have to make a 10cm hexagon? either square or rectangle.

[AdamsSara]

@XIIxMysticxIIX For a hexagon with a side length of approx 10cm start with a square with a side length of approx 20cm.

[LadyShanx]

Thank you so much for this video. I have so often been stuck with only a simple piece of paper; no ruler or protractor within reach. Now, I can step outside of the box (square) and into the hexagon.

Don't let the "origami purist" comments get you down. This is wonderfull video.

Thank you, again.

[shirokage00]

i just created a origami hexagon using heagon without the this steps

[jenny20m]

10 MINUTES FOR A HEXAGON!!!

[lamyeenam]

can u make a hexagon out of a4 paper?

[AdamsSara]

@lamyeenam Definitely! Use the rectangle method demonstrated in this video.

[doomleaf]

You cute the paper at the end... so this is KIRIgami not origami

[pogi26ebson]

@ghorda any shape but after it,u must not cut,rip or use any thing,,,,ANY SHAPE!!!!!

[Ghorda9]

some of you people should know that your not alowed to cut, rip or use anything other then a square peice of paper for true origami.

[mjdhiru]

listen carefully.... from 5:19 .... she say...." with each other" two times...!!!! videoediting mistakes!!!

[iwa95br8]

wouldn't it be easyer to draw a circle with caliper,mark 6 poitns conect them and thats it... :P

[susie489]

this video z actually about how to make a hexagon... either make it or go away if ur lazy. every one is commenting about those lines or her voice? even though she is teaching us how to make a hexagon, your kinda laughing at her and yes stupids im not an english speaker neither should anyone teach me.

[91backstroke]

Its MAGIC!!! jaja ...beutiful video!! :D

[TheJeremiah948]

23 people are too lazy to fold

[TheJeremiah948]

Can I has a magic folding paper? :)

[frumpy4]

mgaical dotted lines!

[tonnuyhong]

i the paper drawing by its self

[deryer]

Waitnevermi d thank you it w

[deryer]

What dimension is the pink rectangle? I followed the steps correctly but at 7:35 the corner didn't reach the center...

[techkid78]

no offence but u havea funny accent

[sebbe1231000]

wtf this is not origami you dont fold something just to cut it in origami if it was real origami you would have folded it to a hexago,make a new video doing just that and you can call it origami

[pandemic22]

@sebbe1231000 What exactly are you trying to point out for us? You know, she has around 160+ videos that are based on folding ONLY, so why do you peck on exactly this one video?

I'd say it's immature and trollish. Go annoy somebody else, kid.

[kawaiikitty9]

um u couldhve just drawn one it takes less time and its esier

[busteddon]

I came here from a Shaytard's video. HEXAGON!

[xavierojk]

@busteddon Bite your PENCIL increase the maximum usage XD

[TheRetardedRaptor]

papuh

[wamby1985]

Shay carl's "H" word hexagon lol

[padilla101d1]

WTF???? how are the little dashes appearing?? are you boldermont?

[padilla101d1]

SHAYTARDS BROUGHT ME HERE....

[dancerdiva10111]

JUST FUCKING TRACE IT OUT AND CUT IT!!!!

[kitkitmeow24]

@AdamsSara wow how did you draw the black lines while folding??

[pandemic22]

@kitkitmeow24 Look closely when she folds. If you follow the video closely you can see that it changes a bit after each fold.

In other words, after each fold, she pauses the video, draws a blick line on the fold, and starts recording again.

Hope this helps! ^^

[99Michael9]

How is it easier: Using A4 paper or using square paper?

[carlymuffin1]

what size paper should I start with to ensure that I end up with a hexagon that has a 10 cm side length?

[nerdlass]

@carlymuffin1 I'd suggest doing it the old fashioned way. Make a 10x10x10cm triangle template and build up a hexagon.

[ETHEREALPAULA]

WOW ! THIS IS THE BEST HEXAGON INSTRUCTIONS ON YOUTUBE !

[achanskiStefan]

FFS what ever you do just do faster!!!!

[sonichaven]

no offence, its still helpful to show the rectangle, but wouldnt it just be simpler to turn the rectangle into a square?

[AdamsSara]

@sonichaven Actually, I find it easier to cut a hexagon from a rectangle. I usually get more accurate results. Also, when cutting from a square, the hexagon has a crease in an awkward place. If you use the technique for the rectangle, you only get creases that are often necessary for models in any case. Hence I do clearly prefer the method for the rectangle, and don't think it's simpler to first go to a square. Hope this clarifies.

[sonichaven]

@AdamsSara yeah...didnt really think that one through lol. my bad.

[LinkSSBB0]

@AdamsSara and on top of that the hexagon gets even bigger. because making it from a square makes it even smaller.

Und noch mal eine Frage: Ich habe mal gehört, dass es Patente oder so was für Origami Tesselations gibt, dass man sie zwar kopieren darf aber nur für den Eigengebrauch oder so. Ist das wirklich so und was, wenn man den CP verändert?

[AdamsSara]

@LinkSSBB0 Ich glaube nicht dass es Patente gibt, aber sicherlich gibt es Urheberrecht. Bei Tessellations kann es schon sein, dass bestimmte Muster patentiert sind - z.B. wenn sie für den Weltraumeinsatz genutzt werden. Allerdings verändern schon geringe Variationen eines CP eine Tessellation komplett. Deshalb würde ich mir da nicht so einen Kopf drum machen. Und als Disclaimer: ich bin kein Anwalt. :)

[123881100]

lolololololololololololol you sound like a he she :()

[123881100]

how wen you folded it it made a line wtf!!!



[quiltsewer]

Thanks for posting such a useful video. It was very clear and I was able to fold the hexagon I needed for my project.

[shadow2098100]

Can u sell the paper on ebay?

[AdamsSara]

@shadow2098100 I don't sell any origami stuff. Not paper, not videos, not folded models. But I'm sure there are people on ebay that already sell hexagons of origami paper.

[mmvermelha]

I couldn't understand what you meant from 02:59 - til the end, but I got myself a ruler and was able to determine how much to cut by measuring the sides.. is that cheating too much? Seems way easier to cut from a rectangular sheet! Now... snowflake here I go.

[f4llenSk4ter]

i keep on trying and trying,but those black lines wont appear,any tips to make them appear?

[AdamsSara]

@f4llenSk4ter Try using a marker. ;)

[f4llenSk4ter]

@AdamsSara but you didnt use any...you magician or something?

[AdamsSara]

@f4llenSk4ter I use this patented, magic paper. Maybe I should start selling it. ;)

[f4llenSk4ter]

@AdamsSara haha,i was just fooling with ya,sry for being anoying :P

[AdamsSara]

@f4llenSk4ter I would have never guessed!

[buddickinson]

@f4llenSk4ter WITH A MARKER...

[Klonkiller888]

your voice is very robot like,

[loolapazoola]

lovely!

i wish they'd teach this in school, when students are taught how to construct a hexagon.

[gayatry54]

fantastic and amazing

[suzukitoshiyuki1]

uber kind voice and very patient teaching...... thanks!

[Duckoby]

Love your accent :).

[FRUiTiECUTiE]

If i can't make a hexagon... i doubt i can make a star puff tessellation!!!

[MegaFais3000]

00:14 hahaha

[Isurandil]

Awesome contribution :)

[golz1998]

du erklärst es gut super video

[hrabbit]

Thank you so much! I was finally able to make a nice hexagon!

[10369boy]

Hey you have got a very cool and calm voice. Nice job. :P

[playaofmarl94]

aso, ok, ja ich wusste nicht, das man es für anderes braucht.

[KingBorste]

omg !

EPIC FAIL !

[playaofmarl94]

ja und was bringt das?

kann ich doch gleich son sechseck ausschneiden. :O

Sinnlos.

[KiddyConny]

dann zeig doch mal, wie du ein genaues sechseck einfach so ausschneidest.

[Numism4tiker]

dafür gibts n zirkel^^

genauer geht nicht

[tonyjikyung]

it's preparing step to fold other shapes... there is no need to be so negative

[resakuecken]

I really like how you explained the way how to fold these hexagons! like the idea with coloring the creases and the cutting of the film is very good as well - you hardly realise them (the cuts) :-)

I DO like your voice - it's clear and encouraging.

And I admire how you don't get into a muddle while speaking and "working" :-) ( or maybe you spoke after filming it) - however: Good job!!! :-)

Thax 4 your effort - it helped a lot !!!

(sorry for spelling mistakes - not my mother language)

[janusxs123]

good idea to explain the origami art.

[GamesAndSportsful]

it sounds like microsoft anna. ;D

whatever, cool video,

[falseh00d]

she sounds like the robot from half-life: portal

[ZuschauerxXx]

that's good :D

[Marsupilami93]

omg so true :D

[stullensohn]

your forearms are ugly.

[fghacbs]

nice comment kotstullensohn

[quetz2317]

This is a great video. It inspired me to cut out some hexagons and fold some snowflakes.

[x3YoKo]

aha..

[XtReAm1000]

sag mal ihr wisst doch alle nichts von origami -.-

[TheMisterGreenTea]

10 minutes for that? I guess I will never understand why one makes a 10 minute video for something like this... creepy :S

[MultiALBozz]

this is the biggest shit i ever had seen

[Pitibuli]

yeah i agree with you. This video might be really shit when someone like you is not able to fold a paper

[MrKiwi3295]

I was searching hundreds of hours for this!!!I love it!!!!!!!!!

How was searching too for this ????

[PCandGames4u]

me, too ^^

[nor1212]

awesome! amazing! more of that! i need it every day now. now i know enough to be ready to die.

thank you verry much

[mastershand]

wtf ???this is never origami. Real origami is a japanese technique that is only a part of...different techniques that were used by the monks around 1600 bc

this is very easy. I always do this with my toilet paper when i sit and shit

[sunnystarysmiley]

Hahahaa xD with ur toilet paper xD Awsome ;D

[leporidus]

This is origami basics. The basics of origami. Not origami for the advanced. Not the mastery or wizardry of origami. Do you get »basic«, mastershand?

I actually think this is a clever way to construct regular hexagons; it's related to geometric construction of 60° angles with circle and ruler.

[Holycaster22]

wtf is that shit?

[superfon12]

Sehr schön gemacht aber das ist beim besten Willen kein Origami... Origami ist japanisch Faltkunst die komplett ohne schneiden funktioniert und man daraus wunderschöne figuren falten kann.

Nicley done, but this isn't Origami. Origami is a japanese creasing technique, which works completley without cutting. And you can fold wonderful figures.

[AdamsSara]

Actually, this video is more about stuff that's helpful for origami, rather than it being origami itself. If you want to start with a hexagonal sheet of paper, you first need that hexagon. That's what this video is about. For example, the snowflake by Dennis Walker that I made a video on needs to be folded from a hexagon.

[superfon12]

But the real japanese origami is based on figures out of square sheets. I was in japan they told me that everything, what is not out of a squared sheet of paper is no real origami. You know?!

[AdamsSara]

Ah, origami is the art of paperfolding. If you are a purist you might say only folding from squares is acceptable, and possibly even only specific folds are ok. This is sometimes called "pure" origami.

While I prefer starting with a square, I do think it is absolutely acceptable to start with rectangles or regular polygons. It still remains the art of paperfolding, and is thus origami. I generally draw the line when you start using cuts and glue. Opinions vary on that, too, actually.

[superfon12]

I agree with you when you say "It still remains the art of paperfolding". of course is it a art of paperfolding if you start with a rectangle or hexagon sheet. But how you just said it's not the pure origami. i also agree with you by starting using cuts and glue ;). But your vid's are really nice. (=

[skillphiliac]

@AdamsSara I am aware of this comment being relatively old, but I was wondering whether anyone has already considered the possibility of simply "folding" a hexagon? I am completely with you on using various shapes for origami purposes, after all, I simply could crease the desired form and in the following steps hide what I do not need. Cutting or punching basic shapes is only a neater way of starting from scratch.

[AdamsSara]

@skillphiliac Yes, I have seen designs that start of with e.g. a square, then fold a different polygon, and continue working with that. Sometimes the left-over paper can also be used to add locks or add details to the model.

[skillphiliac]

@AdamsSara Exactly, seeing as this is possible I can't really understand why it should not be possible to simply start with a constructable polygon in the first place. Note: I mostly detest cutting and gluing.

[AdamsSara]

@skillphiliac The extra paper will add thickness. This may be a problem especially when folding more complex models or with thick paper. Or it changes the feel of the model For example, consider tessellations: often they are most beautiful when back-lighting, and extra layers of paper will change the pattern visible.

But if you prefer not cutting the shape, you can always start with a square. The diagrams won't be any different. I personally don't mind cutting the paper to the necessary shape.

[Vouley]

Whats this ?!

It isn't origami..:D:D

[schmerzfrei]

mmkay, i think that's some kind of wasting time...

[Lausemaus19]

das video is scheiße muhahahaha ich bin böde ich melde dich muhahaha!!!

[JimiPain]

Du bist nicht böse, sonden dumm.

[allalalaalla]

bogdan :D:D:D::D

[Kiyosal]

excellent video

I think im just gunna cheat and print a hexagon template

[encore451]

WHOA THATS SO COOL  =D

[yoyomasta141]

I love your accent/voice!

It makes the already awesome videos even better, if that's possible!

Great video!

[xShizue]

Nice. Like always =D ♥
