Kami for practice, tant for complex models, tissue foil for wet folding. Paper choice matters more than most people think.

I am bookmarking, printing, AND saving this to a floppy. Too good to lose.

I asked the same thing in another group and got way worse answers. You all rock.

Sonobe units combined into stellated icosahedra. Looks complex but each unit is simple. 30 units make one ball.

Posting so I can find this thread again later. Genuinely useful stuff.
Donna Vasquez   Diagrams vs video tutorials Sep 25, 2026 10:11 pm
Traditional diagrams force you to understand each step. Videos are easier but you learn less. What do you prefer?

My experience: it depends on your specific situation but generally this is good advice.

Warning to others: I tried a shortcut and it did NOT end well. Follow the instructions exactly.

I was skeptical at first but you convinced me. Going to give it a shot this week.

I had given up on this entirely and your post got me to try again. Glad I did.

Great explanation! Even a beginner like me could follow every step.
