@swallowedfacade

Is it possible to make one with 6 units ?

[swallowedfacade]

@985steven yes you can but only some paper works, i recommmend coloured computer paper, white paper isnt thick enough, the colour makes it thick and able to keep a curl. it is harder because the curls are stretched further, you need to make it 3 on top and 3 on bittom, 3 curls to a center, ...... what usually works is if you can find a 3d image of a shape,

@985steven anything less than 6 doesnt work really

what sizes are the paper????

[swallowedfacade]

@maxpower285 these papers are about an inch and a half, and size can be used really

I don't know why, but I can't seem to be able to roll down the flaps on the side (at 40 sec. on the video). It looks easy but I'm not able to do it. Is there a secret to the step?

[SusanFromOhio]

I like this a lot. What kind of paper are you using? It doesn't look like origami paper.

I think I will try to make one. Thank you for the video.
