Origami Membuat Bintang

 

1. Start with your paper coloured side up. Fold in half, then in half again, as shown. Crease well, then open out again.

2. Turn the paper over and fold in half diagonally and in both directions. Crease well and open out once again.

3. Holding the points shown, bring them both down to the centre point on the bottom line. Flatten model.

4. Fold bottom corners of top layer only to top point and unfold.
Repeat on back.
This is one module.

5. Make 5 more modules so you have 6 altogether.

6. To join modules, slip one set of “legs’” into another set of legs, like so:

7. Push the legs in as far as they will go.

8. Pull the centre crease outwards, making it into a mountain fold.

9. Continue to add modules to build the star, repeating steps 6-8 as you go.

Finished Modular Star.

Origami Membuat Kubus

I've been making a lot of these lately.

They're pretty addictive because they're like little puzzles. I'm never quite sure until the end if all the pieces will fit together, yet miraculously enough, they do. It's very satisfying. Kids love these cubes - both creating them and playing with them. They're lightweight and great for stacking or creating designs with. 

You'll start with 6 pieces of square shaped paper. I used standard origami paper about 15 x 15 cms or 6 x 6 inches, but you can use any size, as long as it's square. 

One tip: when doing origami, fold as precisely as possible and press down on the creases and folds to make them nice and sharp. That's particularly important with this cube. (I'll be doing other tutorials for simpler origami designs to do with younger children that are more forgiving). 

Fold it in half to create a crease, then open again.

Now, fold each side down to the crease and press down hard.

Now you have a rectangle. Turn the paper over (very important; you want the open fold to be on the bottom) and fold each corner towards the center so that you create a trapezoid. First one corner to the middle of the opposite side 

then the other corner in the opposite direction.

Next you will fold the corners of the trapezoid to the center on the opposite side so that you form a square. Make sure to press down on the creases hard. 

Now release those corners. Repeat the above steps for each piece of paper until you have 6 pieces that look like this. 

Now comes the fun part - assembly. Take two pieces and insert a triangle from one paper into the opening on the square of another paper. 

Then insert a second triangle into the other side of the same opening.  Each opening in each square accommodates two triangles from other adjoining squares. Keep inserting triangles into squares until all the sides are connected and a cube is formed.

Here's an example of the same cube in different colors, and what it might look like once you've fitted three together. They will be loose but will stabilize as you add more panels.

tucking in the last few triangles..

You're done!

Sejarah Origami

Origami adalah sebuah seni lipat yang berasal dari Jepang. Bahan yang digunakan adalah kertas atau kain yang biasanya berbentuk persegi. Sebuah hasil origami merupakan suatu hasil kerja tangan yang sangat teliti dan halus pada pandangan.

Origami merupakan satu kesenian melipat kertas yang dipercayai bermula sejak kertas diperkenalkan pada abad pertama di zaman Tiongkok kuno pada tahun 105 Masehi oleh Ts'ai Lun.

Pembuatan kertas dari potongan kecil tumbuhan dan kain berkualitas rendah meningkatkan produksi kertas. Contoh-contoh awal origami yang berasal dari Tiongkok adalah tongkang (jung) dan kotak. Pada abad ke-6, cara pembuatan kertas kemudian dibawa ke Spanyol oleh orang-orang Arab. Pada tahun 610 di masa pemerintahan kaisar wanita Suiko (zaman Asuka), seorang biksu Buddha bernama Donchō (Dokyo) yang berasal dari Goguryeo (semenanjung Korea) datang ke Jepang memperkenalkan cara pembuatan kertas dan tinta.

Origami pun menjadi populer di kalangan orang Jepang sampai sekarang terutama dengan kertas lokal Jepang yang disebut Washi.
