I connected 14 cubes together to create the rainbow cube chain seen above. It took 168 sheets of paper.
You can make an open cube of your own using just 12 sheets of paper and few simple folds. These open cubes are pretty fun to make and look good in both solid color and rainbow.

Hi did you use standard 2 inch paper?

in reply to Jan 15, 2012. 8:11 PMReplyI think of standard origami paper as the 6 inch large sheets since that's the size I see most often. For the cubes shown I used smaller 3 inch sheets but both sizes work just fine. I like to use smaller sheets when doing modular origami because sometimes the models can get pretty big and the smaller ones seem to hold together better but it's all personal preference.

How lovely! Would they be strong enough to hang? I've successfully hung many of my origami projects from clear floss, string, etc. Your cubes would look beautiful made into a mobile. Did you use a pattern or design this yourself? Thanks:) =^..^=

You could even try to thread the string through one of the corners where three units meet and knot the end so that you don't have to actually tie onto the model.

in reply to Jan 1, 2012. 8:18 PMReplyThanks. They could be connected into a ring too but I find the chain more appealing (it's also much more difficult to connect the last two in the ring).

When I was little, I tried to make this! Had a bad time though. That is when I was like 7 or or so. I made one now (I'm thirteen) from I book I got at the library! Loved origami back then(still do!). Good Job! :D
