Color origami ball

I'm going to show you how to make color origami ball. Actually it's not really a ball but it looks like a ball to me and because I don't know its real name I call it ball.

I made more pictures to show you how to make it. I think they will be enough for you to understand everything!

Good luck!

Step 1 Materials

Before you start you must know that this is a lot of work and you need to be patient. It's going to take a lot of time!

You need:
- 5 sheets of paper A4 from one color ( I choose pink it'll be "outside color")
- 10 sheets of paper A4 from another color ( I choose blue it'll be "inside color")
- a pencil
- glue
- a ruler
- scissors
- and a small sheet of paper with measurement 9 cm x 9 cm ( if you don't have you can make it)

King of origami! The ball of spikes!

This is an AWESOME tutorial. But I don't have that much paper, and if you mess up, you technically have to get more paper. But this is so cool! I want one

mine looks great until i connected the 2 halves together. there are gaping holes in it and it kinda collpases when you close it...

You obviously have almost no life.That is not an insult, I mean you have WAY too much time. I do too; I made a cut origami owl that takes up over 100 units.
Took me about 1 1/2 weeks :3

[aruablade]

how long does it takes to make it

[slu6alka]

Depends on how fast you fold. Usually it takes about 5 hours for me to make one :)

[Cookie.E]

WOW!!!! FIVE HOURS!!! You must have a lot of spare time! Congrats!! Thanks for showing us this!

[aruablade]

I am horrible at glueing, so i will probably mess up many times.

[baky4]

arghhhhhhhhhh

[jbend]

would it work if i use 4.5cm by 4.5cm paper. please answer!!!!

[luc.dof1]

i used 4.5cm by 4.5cm paper too and it's very hard, the folds are small. Good luck if you try

[slu6alka]

yeah why not...but I suppose it would be harder to fold...anyway you can still try ;)

[jbend]

thank you

[jbend]

once I am done i will post a pic

If you're using glue, you're not making origami...

[inergy]

these make great gifts!

[inergy]

good instructable. made one making another

[slu6alka]

Thanks :)

[inergy]

And now another :D

[vcamacho]

i did it for 3 days but the other on i tried to do it w/o glue EPIC FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How big would the ball be if i use 10.5 by 10.5 cm paper

[slu6alka]

I can't tell you exactly how big it would be. When I use 9 by 9 cm squares the height of the ball is about 14 cm. I hope that will help you.

[musicmixer112]

can this be made without glue

[superhung]

Yes, but it would be EXTREMELY hard

[slu6alka]

You can use tape as well, but it's better with glue.

[legolord96]

I think what musicmixer112 meant was, can it be made purely from paper without needing to be stuck together with anything but friction.

[slu6alka]

I don't think so...I don't thing of anything that can replase the glue.

[Cookie.E]

Hey, do you use card board or normal copy paper thickness color paper?

[slu6alka]

Normal paper :P If you use cardboard it can be too hard to fold :) Recently I made one with sticky notes. It turned out great and I skipped step number 2.

[fredutsending]

i ve searched this for a long time . i m making it now . i m so happy. ilove origami soooo much

[legolord96]

It may be just me, but this reminds me somewhat of a 'bit' from the original Tron...

[jaredarm]

Hey thanks so much for the tutorial. I enjoyed building it.
Here is a video of it finished.

[musicmixer112]

[slu6alka]

You can try...you can also use post-it notes (skip step 2) heheh

[neeley]

Wow that is so cool. I will try it when I am not so tired!!!
