STEPS
TOOLS
This is the finished product
Start with the paper like this
Fold it vertically across the middle
Open it back up
Fold it down the horizontal middle
Open back up
Fold the top left corner down to the bottom right
Open back up and do the same with the other corner
Open it up again, then take in the sides towards the middle
Press down to form a triangle. This is the base, so make 6 of these
The process of making the module is points and pockets. A point goes into a pocket, so put one tip into another base's pocket
They come together like so
Add another base onto two points. They should alternate, so if one side is a point, the other should be a pocket
Repeat the process with all of the other bases
Here you can see how the points and pockets alternate
Now you have a fully formed origami octahedron!
