The Origami Forum

Hey guys,

Just wondering what is the biggest thing you've folded? Biggest paper, longest, tallest, whatever. Just say what it is and if you can, post a picture. The biggest thing I made was a crane 3 times the size of one folded out of an 8.5 inch square. Hope I put this in the right section.

On the flip side, what's the smallest thing you've folded?

Biggest paper: 130*130 cm square

Biggest model:

Cool! I like the snake, the mouth really turned out.

I've already shown my biggest and smallest in the forum... what the heck, I love showing my models .

This are my two biggest models.

Fire place bellows:
From 170 X 68 cm poster board and kraft rectangle, that is around 5' 8'' X 2' 3''.
Resulting in a 34 X 21 cm approx. model, that is around 1' 1'' X 8 1/4''.

Grabber:
From a 200 X 35 cm poster board rectangle,that is around 6' 8'' X 1' 2''.
Resulting in a 70 X 9 cm approx. model, that is around 2' 4'' X 3 1/2''.

Here I compare them to an official size basketball.



Like some of you know, the diagrams for both will be available in the book Practigami, which will come out soon .


This is my smallest living room:

• The Armchairs and the Sofa where folded each from 7.5 X 7.5 cm squares, that is 3 X 3 in.
• The Cushions were folded from 3.8 X 3.8 cm square, that is 1 & 1/2 X 1 & 1/2 in.
• The Coffe table was folded from a 3 x 3 cm square, that is 1 & 1/5 X 1 & 1/5 in.

The case it's in has a 7 cm width and length, that is 2 & 3/4 in. Here I compare its size to a CD box.




And my smallest useful design is my Chopstick rest:
From a 2.5 X 5 cm portion of the chopstick wrapper, that is 1 X 2 in.
Resulting in a 1.5 X 2.5 cm model, that is 3/5 X 1 in.

You can use the chopsticks as size reference:

Neat! I love the little couch. Thanks for sharing.

Honestly I haven't experimented that much in big origami. I've made some different flashers out of 18 in squares.

I folded an ancient dragon out of a 4 foot sqaure

I just saw a 18ft square dino on flickr. Brachiosaurus

I folded a origami terbin that fits my head .

My Flasher Hat. 'twas folded from 80 cm Kraft. Biggest paper I use.

That's cool. 4 foot paper is huge. Head sized stuff is always fun.

Yeah.

My biggest model - Western dragon by Shuki Kato folded from 90 cm table paper.
The model has about 40 cm long:
