can you use any size paper

[AdamsSara]

@TheShamrizkhan As long as the ratio of the sides (1 by square root of 2) is correct, yes.

[T0uchthesea]

how many sheet of paper have I need to make that?

[AdamsSara]

@T0uchthesea You will need 32 sheets.

Hi Sara. Can it be done with paper which has only one side coloured or there would be white parts visible?

And as always this is a very good video, I found your channel this summer and you taught me a lot of great models. Thank you doing this for us.

[AdamsSara]

@LPeti1701 Yes, you can use paper that is colored on one side only.

wow i hate how all these noobs keep asking if they can use glue. if they cant put these simple units together, then they shouldnt be folding origami!

i thought this was a very good tutorial video and is very clear. her hands arent blocking anything.

@lolzwhoami, agreed! I'm a complete noob to origami. I did the snowflake by Dennis Walker. It came out pretty good for my first try. So, because this sounds challenging, I will try the star w/o glue :) .  Origami is fun. I didn't think it would be. It's like crochet. But crochet for me is long & tedious because I can't see the design coming together. After watching a few vids, I think I will give that another try. By the way, AdamsSara's videos are very good! Well done, AdamsSara.
