Hello, this is OrigamiTube!
This time, we will make a "Button whirligigs (also known as a Button spinner) " that you can play with.
Let's get started.
Use two sheets of origami paper.
Fold it into three equal parts.
It is easy to measure and mark with a ruler or other tool before folding.
Fold it into three equal parts according to the markings you just made.
Fold it tightly so that there is no thickness in the folds.
Fold the other one into three equal parts in the same way.
Lay them out in the same direction.
Fold each corner diagonally.
The other one folds in the same way.
Make sure it's tightly creased.
Stack the two like this.
Fold the top part towards the center.
Fold right as well.
Fold the bottom.
Fold left.
Fold the last fold into the center pocket.
The folding part is now complete.
Next, mark the holes to be drilled
Use a pin vise or a gimlet to make a hole.
If the holes on the left and right sides are not aligned, it will not turn properly.
Please work carefully.
Take care of your injuries.
Prepare a piece of string about 50-60 centimeters long.
Pull the string through the hole...
Tie it tight and it' s finished!
How to play.
Put your hand through the string on both and twist it around a few times.
Then pull and loosen your hands from side to side, repeatedly...
It's a spinning, swirling motion.
The hole was drilled in the wrong place, or…
If the gap is too wide or too narrow...
Sometimes it doesn't turn well, so try to make adjustments as you go along.
OrigamiTube will introduce you to various origami.
