Description A modular cube that transforms into a rose when the folds are pulled out in a certain way.

*EDIT - Just to make sure, I did not design this myself. I've found out the name of the creator, one Valerie Vann, and you can find the instructions here *

This is pretty cool! Perhaps I'll try this out if I have some spare time. ^^

Do try, it's very easy once you make the first unit.

I'll try to set aside some time to make this then. ^^

This was one of the first models that I tried when I started folding origami. My mom couldn't believe her eyes when I showed it to her! Sadly, the paper eventually got all folded and torn up, because of the constant opening and closing (thanks to my little cousin). Anyway, I learned how to do it from a video tutorial: [link] .

Oh, that's quite interesting that you would start origami with a modular. Was it easy to do for you? I read from instructions and it wasn't too bad, but when I first opened it, the paper tore. XD

No, I said it was one of my first origami. The very first one was an origami humming bird: [link] . Having in mind most people fold an origami crane first, you might say I had a head start with origami. As for the rose cube, I messed up the first few pieces and had a bit of a challenge putting them all together, but no, I don't recall having any problems opening the modular. All in all, I enjoyed doing it. It's a simple design, but still very impressive. Check out my gallery if you want to see some of my origami: [link] .

To me, it seems you like to do impressive-looking things. Nice gallery. ^_^

Actually, I found the diagram online. I've updated the description with the name of the original creator and a link to the instructions. Sorry to have disappointed you... ^_^;

Phew, that's a relief. Maybe you should give it a go? ^_^

Someday, yes. Actually it's giving me ideas for a little project of mine I'll work on after my studies (maybe during my studies if I find some time); so I'm keeping it somewhere in my mind. :]

Thanks for the llama badge ! :3

That's cool, hope they don't work you too hard. XD I know all about that, I try to find time every week to make at least one piece, to keep my skills from going rusty. And you're welcome.

Dang...if I only had that much patience to accomplish something like that!
Great job on this!

I had a couple of tries prior to this and every time I tried to open the flower out, the paper kept splitting. =w=

When you really get into making modulars, it gets quicker and easier to make the units because they're all the same. ^_^
