How to make the origami Moving Cubes 2
Designed by Jo Nakashima (06/2019)
Difficulty level: low intermediate
This is a modular origami and each cube is made from a single square sheet of paper, all connected without glue nor tape. It’s also a very fun action model and the cubes will move when you press two pair of cubes from oposite corners.
In this version there’s more movement than in the first origami Moving Cubes: the corner cubes goes up and down and middle cubes rotate in different directions.
Paper
In the video tutorial I’m using 12cm x 12cm origami paper for each cube. Any square size can be used. You’ll need 16 cubes.
