Learn how to make an origami Infinity Cube, a very fun action model!
Designed by Jo Nakashima (06/2019)
Difficulty level: low intermediate (the units are simple, but beginners might have some trouble to connect them neatly)
Paper
This is a modular origami and you’ll need 8 square sheets of paper with the same size (one per cube), everything is connected without glue nor tape. In the video I’m using 15cm x 15cm standard origami paper for each cube.
Optional: I’ve added cotton balls for extra weight inside each cube to prevent from opening gaps between them when you’re not holding the model. But depending on the type/size of paper, they’re not needed. I’ve folded one using 18cm x 18cm origami paper and it was ok without the extra weight. You can also use crumpled paper as an alternative to the cotton balls.
