The Origami Forum

hi guys!! i am new here and new to the art of origami! i have been searching the net on how to make the 'honeycomb paper ball' i know its not origami but sort of like kirigami, but i really need to know how to make it! can anyone help??




thanks!!

I think you take alot of semicircles, then glue then together so that tere are those gaps, but ofset the gluing on each subsequent part.

It is very easy: at absolutely first, you need to buy honey-comb paper. Than it is obvious, I think.

You may want to search google for tissue paper decorations, or tissue paper honeycomb balls.
Short of that, I'd go to a party/wedding supply store, buy a paper ball, and analyze it.
I imagine that one would draw out a diamond grid, then alternate glue points.
I would not be surprised if the center grid has larger diamonds, then progressively smaller toward top and lower axis .
Very much trial & error, but certainly doable !

you see thats the thing i line in Pakistan and this honeycomb paper isn't available .... thanks anyways

If you got a really long rectangle you might be able to fold something similar using wet folding but it wouldnt look exactly the same, just similar i think
