Origami Dodecahedron designed by Jo Nakashima (05/2021)
Difficulty level: low intermediate
Paper: 7.5cm x 7.5cm origami paper (30 sheets)
In this video you’ll learn how to make an origami dodecahedron, a polyhedron with twelve flat faces. This is a regular dodecahedron, so each face is a regular pentagon. You can make it fully colored or with color change on the edges, depending on which side of the unit you use.
This is my last platonic solid. Learn how to make all the other ones: cube, tetrahedron, octahedron and icosahedron.
Paper
This is a modular origami and you’ll need 30 square sheets of paper. Standard origami paper works well and I recommend small sizes like 7.5cm x 7.5cm square (the finished model will be about 6.5cm tall). Everything is well connected without glue.
