The Origami Spiked Pentakis Dodecahedron is an excellent Paper Christmas Decoration Star made out of 15 paper squares. In spite of the large paper size I was defeated by the last module after nearly 2 hours (!) of trying to lock the last unit in place each time another one dislodged Never mind, it is still a remarkable sound structure once (nearly) completed and you can not see which one is not locked anyway

IF YOU ARE NOT A PATIENT ORIGAMIST USE GLUE !! YES, again the G-WORD is used! Origafundamentalists not to worry despite the explicit word use above the one in the vid has been made without any G!!! :D :D

Design of this beautiful paper Christmas Decoration Star has been stolen from Tomoko Fuse and simplified by getting rid of the auxiliary square

  • Yes it was hard to ...

    Yes it was hard to put together at first. It takes a bit of spatial skill to understand how the pieces fit together.

    The Icosahedron version is also rather difficult, though not much worse than this.

  • Aww. Yes it is a ...

    Aww. Yes it is a very difficult model to assemble if you aren't experienced. However, there are sooooo many awesome models on Youtube that are also easy! Try searching for the "Sham", "Sonobe", or "Curler cuboctahedron"

    Those are easy and impressive too. Good luck!

  • Beautiful!! It's ...

    Beautiful!! It's such a tease how easy the units are and how the last module takes longer to put in than it does to make all 30 modules!!

    I remember it took me almost a solid hour to get mine in >.>

    Thanks for making this video! I think the diagrams would be a little confusing to beginner origamists so this will definitely be of great help to those people.

    Try the Icosahedron version some time, I don't think it's quite as hard, and it looks cool with foil paper :D
