Dodecahedron Modular Origami

Follow these steps to make a beautiful dodecahedron model. Even if you've never done origami before, the units are so easy to fold that you shouldn't have a problem. You should be able to follow just by looking at the steps but I'll explain them too. The hardest part is making all 30 units but if you can survive that you will soon have a dodecahedron model of your own. 

Step 1

You will need:
-30 pieces of silver foil origami paper
-something to hang the ornament with such as string, a paperclip, or an ornament hook


I used 1.5 inch pieces which is on the smaller side but since it's foil it holds a crease really well. This ended up making an ornament that fit in the palm of my hand.

I'm glad u won but Im curious who was the shiny jacket for?

Can't tell you until the person gets it :) though I'm sure if the person reads this they will know it is them because they will probably have not gotten a gift from me (assuming the jacket doesn't show up in time for the holiday)

Wow this is awesome. Great job!

Thank you. It's hard to photograph it and make it look good but when you see one in person you can see the shape better and it's really nice.

Beautiful!

But a little difficult to understand, for me. May be if I do it, can understand "on the fly"

If you look at the pictures and have a piece of paper in front of you I'm sure you'll have a much easier time than if you're just reading the text. I'm hoping that the pictures explain well enough but that the text can explain if someone gets stuck. I was thinking about how to explain it in an easy way but then I realized that all the origami I've learned has been from diagrams or watching someone else and I think that is for a very good reason lol!
