Cube

The video is hosted on YouTube: it only loads when you press Play.

This Christmas origami is a pretty, colourful cube to hang on the tree. You will need 6 square sheets of paper to make it. See the diamond video to find out how to make the loop for hanging the model. You will have noticed that the basic unit for this modular origami is the same as for the previous decoration, the diamond. In fact, for those familiar with modular origami, it is a variation of a unit known as the sonobe, created by Mitsunobu Sonobe. These units can be used to make a great many origami models, from the simplest to the most complex. You will find others on the internet.
