Traditional model (China)

Pagoda

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

This traditional Chinese origami makes a lovely decoration. Each storey is folded from one square, and you can add as many as you like! You can make this pagoda with squares of the same size, but it will look more realistic if you gradually reduce the size of the square for each storey (by 0.5 or 1 cm, for example). In the photo, I used an 11 cm square for the base, then 10 cm, 9 cm and finally 8 cm for the top.

What next?
