![]() ![]() Those colorful paper cubes look very much like diamond, amethysts, sapphire, emerald or ruby cristals, so they make beautiful origami jewels. Making paper structures that look like Minecraft blocks or Lego models is a lot of fun!Īn easy variation of the cube has a protruding flap that can be used to attach hooks to make origami earrings or pendants. I’m showing a few in the video: a paper flower and a sword. There are a lot of creative ways to use the cubes. It's easy to join them solidly to make paper structures, but it would also be cool to join them on only one edge to make action models (like the Flexicube / Infinity Cube). I’m still experimenting with different ways of joining those new origami cubes. There is a great description of those cubes on Erik Demaine’s site : Philip’s cubes are made with only one long strip of paper (ticker tape). The closest one I found is the Flexicube created by Philip Noble in 1971. You can throw the cubes like dices, you can join them together, and they won’t fall apart.Īfter coming up with this new origami cube model, I looked if someone had found it before, but I didn’t find other cubes made with 2 strips. Those openings make it easy to join origami cubes together, with simple paper clips made with the same strips of paper used to make the cubes. The cubes have openings on most of the edges (except on 3 of the 12 edges). The cool thing with being able to use origami paper is that you can makes lots of cubes in a wide variety of colors.Ĥ. With a 15x15cm (6圆") sheet of origami paper, you can make 4 2cm (0.8") cubes. With a single square of paper, you can make 4 cubes. ![]() With practice you get faster and faster, so you can go under 2 minutes for one cube.ģ. 4 minutes to pre-crease one square sheet of paper and to cut it into 8 strips. To be more precise: it takes 8 minutes to make 4 cubes. It takes only 2 minutes to make one cube, which is a great advantage over cubes that take 5 minutes to fold (like the seamless origami cubes made with only one square of paper) if you want to make 100 cubes or more! Compared to other modular origami cubes models that use 3 or 6 modules, I think those new cubes are easier to assemble.Ģ. ![]() The origami cubes are easy to make, and it’s easy to remember how to make them, as they are made with 2 identical modules. I’m very pleased with the result of all the experiments I made to create paper cubes:ġ. And I needed cubes that can be joined together to create 3D structures. I needed an easy origami cube that would allow me to quickly make lots of cubes with standard origami paper or copy paper. ![]() There are already a lot of different origami cubes models, so why create a new one? That’s because I wanted to play with the paper cubes, and join them as if they were paper Minecraft blocks or Lego bricks, without tape or glue. that show how to fold this origami cube, and instead link to this video or embed it, or link to the website.

Learn how to make an origami cube in only 2 minutes! This seamless origami cube is a new quick and easy paper cube model that I created in order to make Minecraft blocks or Lego bricks paper crafts, without tape or glue! ![]()
