Day 124,125 - Origami Rose cube

Model	: Origami Rose Cube
Design	: Valerie Vann
Complexity	: Medium
Folding Instruction
Video	: Jonakashima
Paper	: Post-it neon papers
Units	: 6 units.3 of each colour of same size

This is an interesting model made out of 6 units ,3 units of each colour.The units are assembled by interlocking.It is a cube which can be transformed into a rose with few simple steps,thus making the model interesting.

Though it's a simple model it took me a lot of time to understand it and give it shape.First suggestion is to use a both side same coloured square paper.If the paper is one side coloured then the white side would get exposed as below.

Then I tried with post-it notes here's the result.

Though it's not perfect it's somewhat OK I believe.

Some important points to take care of :-

• Be patient while folding the units and follow the video carefully. I skipped a few steps which led to re folding.
• The above video uses a double side same coloured paper so one needs to follow the steps carefully.
• The Green/leaves modules are a bit differently folded as compared to the red once.
• once you finish a module make sure you have 2 pockets.This is necessary for the final cube formation.
• While opening the cube to metamorphoses to rose be careful not to rip it.you will have to open 2 rounds to get the final model.
