My second model for the challenge is a real football. it can be kicked and played without any deformation.
It is made from 24 Flexi Units, and, truth to be told, hold firmly with some glue.

24 sheets of 12X12 cm Elephant Hide.

A really simple and efective design. It can be used as a coin purse but also as an envelope for invitations to special events :-D

From one 10 X 10 in. square paper.
No cuts and no glue.

Hi,
Thanks for helping me upload this model.
It is made from 24 units I call Flexi unit. Every unit is made from a 12X12 cm sheet of Elephant Hide, and yes, I did use some glue to make sure it will hold under the hardest conditions...
It has a high flexibility and endurance. Note that the image was taken after the video, and one can see it is still intact.

It's a surprising model! Maybe there's a way to REALLY lock the units without using glue, what do you think?

Here's my entry for the useful origami challenge! Holds the CD plus the liner notes. Use it to save on storage for your collection.

Made from a single sheet of 8.5 x 11 or A4 paper and shows only one side so you can recycle a used sheet of paper.

Thank you for your submissions thebogbluevan and shangoob! I've just posted them in Pajarita and asked my friends to post them in the other four forums.

___________________________________________________________________________________________

From "Pajarita", leydigra presents:

FOUR LEAF CLOVER


According to leidygra it's useful because it's made from bank notes, what can be more useful than that? The green one is folded with 200 euros!

Image

It's made from two bank notes. The first one is made from 50 euros, but she particularly liked the one made with five euros. The four leaf clover is supposed to bring luck, so she's hoping this ones will bring her more money.

She hopes everyone enjoyed this joke :wink:.


DON QUIXOTE BOOKMARK

Image

Image

You can also use it as a clip.

Image

You can blow it and hear Quixote's windmill turning :wink:
HEAR THE WINDMILLS OF THE DON QUIXOTE BOOKMARK

Now, what makes this bookmark so valuable is it's material: a 200 euros bank note.

Image


THE GAME COLLECTION

They are all made from the windmill base:


DOMINOES

two 2 X 2 in. modules per piece plus a 1 X 1 conector.

Image


TIC TAC TOE

Made from a 8 X 8 in. metallic paper.

Image


CONNECT FOUR

Image

WATCH THIS CONNECT FOUR IN ACTION


CHESS BOARD

It's her own version.

Image

It worked as a base for the following board games:

(The modules are all made from 8 X 8 in. and the conectors with 4 X 4 in. two-colored paper)


PARCHÍS

Image


THE GAME OF THE GOOSE

She didn't have enough paper to make all the necesary modules but you get the idea.

Image


SNAKES AND LADDERS

Image


DIE

Image

WATCH THE DIE IN ACTION


GAME PIECES

Image


That's it. Leidygra hopes you appreciate her models and wishes all of you good luck in the challenge.

I like the bookmarks!
Origami is like food. You can love it and be obese. Or you can hate it and be and be a"cute". Or you can be a fail and your just that. A fail. Flickr : http://www.flickr.com/photos/76647015@N08/?saved=1

this is version 2 of the Origami Football, glue free this time, to be able to participate in The Inter-forum Useful Model Challenge. with my Football i failed to read the terms - no glue, so i improved the connection method.
i made another mistake, saying it was made from 24 units, but it actually made from 30 units.

Hello there..
This is my second entry.
This model which I call "enviro-shirt'" is a shirt that i designed of a "single sheet" of "A0" "Rectangle".
I made this model aiming to be a subtitute for t-shirt stands, and can be used as models for window-shopping, I use this model recently to hang my straw hat :D.
I think this model -if taken into consideration- can help the environment replacing plastic models that are used in most of clothes shops.
smaller models can be used for decorations. They can also be painted to look stylish and good-looking. My friend would probably paint them as soccer shirts for his best players :p

OK
Here's my contribution to the english forum:

AN A4 SHEET OF PAPER

With it, you can fold/make:
- snowblue's mobile phone stand(and personalise it with my pen)
- ray95's vase
- thebigbluevan's CD case
- malifold's A4 sheet of paper :D
PLUS everything else made from smaller than A4 sheets(like just about all the other models for this challenge!)

I think it's important that you demonstrate that this ball isn't using glue, ok? I suggest filming a video in only one take, with no cuts, where you first play with the ball and then you unlock the ball to show that it didn't use any glue, ok? :)

Cool model. Did you know I recently created a coat hanger :)? I wanted to ask you, is your model able to stay standing while it's holding the t-shirt?

firstfold! Please provide at least one picture and a description to make your submission official. That way I can ask my friends to post your new in the other forums :D

-sebl- (pliagedepapier.com) presents: GLOVEBOX

An astonishing and easy model which promises to hold the whole content of your pockets!

Image

With really small dimensions, this model stretchs itself to become a spacious container which can receive all the stuff you keep in your pocket !



Of course the glovebox has many uses:

Image

So do not hesitate to get and use the Sebl's glovebox!

ebesan200 (pliagedepapier.com) presents: MARTIE'S BOX

Martie's Box is a small box you fold with a 6 X 6 in. two-colored paper; it can support the full content of a Smartie's chocolate candy package, which often tears and is not usable for children's fingers. The box was tested, and survived, by three kids of 11, 5, and 3 years old.

The top of the box is strechable in order to put the candies inside, and you can close it by placing your finger(see the photo).

Cool !! after the challenge we may share and make a wardrobe full of clothes :D

curving the edges a little made it stand for seconds, thats the property of a copy paper of little gsm, thicker paper of a great gsm "which i didn't find :'( " would be standing forever
